So DH asked me what I wanted for dinner, and I jokingly said Beef Stroganoff. He said the fancy grocery store near us had some in their deli in the ready to grab meal section, so he offered to go pick them up. Although I'm sure Paula's is superior, these weren't too bad! I added a tiny bit more sour cream and was happy. I have enough for lunch tomorrow. Sometimes you can get what you want :)
Safe travels back to KY!

The totem pole is so cool! Can't wait to see pics of it in your home!

It was very good! I could only eat a half of a bowl! We use round steak for the beef, add mushrooms and onions and the sauce is made with a rue, a little tomato paste, beef broth, sherry and sour cream and we serve it over rice instead of noodles!

I know! I've been so lucky.

PS - how cool you lived in Taos! You certainly have packed so much in and lived so many different lives!

Isn't that cool? The oldest house in the US, oldest church, oldest continuous use public building... buildings from the 1600s are par for the course in Europe, but it's really something to see them in the Southwest!
I agree with Diane S -- get it! In fact, ALWAYS get the art. :)
I adore Santa Fe and absolutely ADORE Taos where I lived for 10 years and found it to be the perfect place for me after 20 years in L.A.
That part of the world is American in such a unique way that most Americans know nothing about. So crazy that the big plaza in Santa Fe (and several buildings on the plaza) were built before the Pilgrims landed.

End of a long day of more decluttering, mowing and mulching all the leaves (only one more of those cycles to go before putting the mower to bed for the winter), and packing my car to head back to KY tomorrow. This morning I also inspected and reserved a climate-controlled storage unit, so that box is checked off.
My "bus" is scheduled to leave tomorrow by 7:30 am. I'll arrive before the sun goes down and be with my honey through Thanksgiving.
Not a lot more to report. I'm appropriately tired and hoping for a great night's rest. I confess that last night's insufficient number of hours asleep was due to my realizing that Downton Abbey is streaming again and watching 3-4 episodes from Season 1. I need to be more disciplined tonight and not do that.
My dinner tonight will be one of those 290 calorie frozen food boxes that tastes a lot better than it should, given all the preservatives it contains. And I don't care.
It's not even 5 o'clock here, and I'm ready for bed. Life is good. :-)
