What's for Dinner, Mon., May 4, 2026

Birria tacos. Kind of a messy meal to have at a restaurant, but I was between appointments in another town, so I had to dine out. This was such a delicious lunch that I ordered a second one to take home for dinner!

Except then I remembered I have a dinner party to go to this evening. Oh, well! Tomorrow for the birria.

I like this so much I looked up recipes for it, and one of my fave cooks, Nagi at RecipeTin, has something that looks worthwhile.

p.s. to IrisBlue, yes one was an apptmt with my doc about the hand. Everything is OK, and thanks to everyone for your concern yesterday!
