This Weekend

This weekend involved awesome food.  On Friday night I made ramen noodles with lettuce, brussel sprouts, chopped carrots, scallions, sriracha sauce and eggs.  Yum!

Last night we ate at the Empire Grill Chinese Buffet.  They have the best sushi of any buffet I've ever been to.

 Their coconut shrimp is amazing (lower left hand corner).  Last night they had something called "seafood pot" (lower right hand corner).  It was a pastry puff filled with seafood and corn in a cream sauce topped with cheese.

Tonight I made brown sugar cookies and topped some with Hatch red chile powder.  Can't wait to eat more for dessert :)

What I've Been Doing

I've been working on some new patterns to make felted pouches :)

A couple of weeks ago D and I went to the Southern New Mexico State Fair and Rodeo and ate some awesome fair food.  D got fried pickles and string fries.

And I got carne asada tacos.  We both got Texas Twisters to drink.  Then D got deep fried oreos and I got a deep fried twinkie - so awesome!  I wish I had a picture!

D grew all of these chiles in our garden this summer.  He smoked most of them to make smoked chile powder.

I took a day trip to Albuquerque last week and stopped at my favorite sushi restaurant Shogun Sushi.

On the way home I stopped at this giant asian supermarket on Gibson that I've been wondering about for a while. 

I came home with these mung bean mochi :)

And I've started knitting a batch of toys for La Casa.  More pictures later!
