Yesterday was my birthday. On my way home from a meeting Up North near Higgins Lake, Lizz, Honey and I stopped at my parents’ house. We went out for dinner at El Charro, a Mexican restaurant we’ve been going to since before I can remember, when they were a tiny hole-in-the-wall. The puffy/chewy taco shells, the cheese nachos, and their perfectly balanced (heat & cilantro) salsa are still delicious, if inauthentic. I still haven’t managed to match their basic salsa, nor figure out how they get those corn tortillas with a crispy outside, puffy shape and chewy texture. My only lament is they took the goat cheese enchiladas off the menu — though this is less problematic now that I’ve gone back to eating animals.

Oh, and Lizz got me an iPod mini. She’s awesome.
