A short post about our Sunday food shopping

We had to run in to "town" (Chapala) on an errand this morning so we stopped for eggs benedict, bacon and cappuccino at a French restaurant next door to the open air market.  Evboy is coming down, Evdad wanted to stock up on good food before he gets here so we don't have to waste precious time doing the mundane.  Breakfast with a generous tip was 300 pesos=18 dollars.

I stopped for a big bag of vegetables to make salsa and snagged a pineapple, too.  85 pesos=5 dollars

We bought a kilo (roughly 2 pounds) of bacon, and a half kilo of homemade sausage. 127 pesos=7.61 dollars

We moseyed around the corner to our favorite beef butcher to buy a couple of steaks and ended up with the entire filet.  After Ev cut off 8 steaks, we bundled up the rest into a packet to make carne guisada or a stir fry. 333 pesos=19.96 dollars

I bought 18 gladiola stems and she wrapped them in the white nubes for me. 110 pesos-5.70 dollars

Ev is sitting right next to me-he, of course, can remember the prices.  He said for you to stand by-tomorrow he'll take a picture of his (40 peso-2.40 dollar) 5 carnita taco plate  that he usually finishes off with a 20 peso hamburguesa. He says, "now THAT's a deal"

This is our life.
