we tried the elote at the market and it was so SO good. i bought a small cup because i thought it would only be me and the mister sharing, but the girl tried it and loved it and we had to fight her to get any more for ourselves.

chicken boxty
sometimes there comes a time when you just have to say - i don't care what the kids want to eat, or will eat, or don't like to eat. i am going to make what I want to eat!
and then you do and everyone likes it.
that happened recently when we had some leftover rotisserie chicken in the fridge and my brain said - make boxty!
and so i did.
i used this recipe for the pancakes, and then just sort of made my own filling because i didn't have bacon or mushrooms, but used peas and onion instead.
a couple of days later there were still 2 pancakes in the fridge, so the mister and i turned them into breakfast boxty's with egg

green goddess dressing
i tried to make my first green goddess dressing and to be honest, it was only ok. there was just.... something.... that wasn't quite right but we couldn't put our finger on it. the boy tried it but wasn't a fan, and the mister said it was ok, but never used it again. i powered through a few more salads but ending up composting the rest.
