I had planned on sleeping in this morning but Tony’s new garage door was delivered and installed starting around 7:30am. Our bedrooms window is right next to the garage in fact when we look out the window we are looking in the garage.
We went for a bike ride and stopped to visit with Bill. When we got back he was still installing the door.
I went to the market to get the chiles and some grapefruit. I bought 2 of each for 14 pesos. Then I went to the meat market for hamburger. I asked for “molida”, all I got was a blank stare so I said hamburgesa, another blank stare. A man standing next to me said something to him, it was like a light came on and he went to get a big chunk of beef from which he cut several very thin slices put them in a bag and gave them to me. I paid him the 16 pesos and went home. On my way back home I saw a pot I thought would be the right size for heating the oil in too deep fry the chiles in. But when I got home I discovered that it needed to be a little bigger so I took it back and exchanged it for a taller one that cost less. I had paid 79 pesos for the pot; I was given 55 pesos back.
Since I didn’t have to make the sauce it only took an hour to fix the chiles and get them cooking in the sauce.
