Holidays= Too Much Food. Yikes!

This week I've had:

-homemade breakfast tacos with scrambled egg, queso fresco, whole wheat tortillas, and weird hot sauce from Malawi (not very good, I can't wait to make it to Belize to buy more Marie Sharps)

-pljeskavice stolen off Jon's plate at a Bosnian restaurant, and my own lamb stew with kajmak and veggies

-strange baked goods from a panaderia. Including dulce-de-leche-stuffed churros, conchas covered in buttery frosting, and some Christmas-themed cookies.

-very lardy yummy tortillas from said panaderia, with spicy hummus and dolmades from the Middle Eastern market.

-gianduja from Cost Plus. It's their house brand, trying to be Nutella, but it's crunchy and soooo much better.

-A cheeseburger with bacon from Whataburger. Very overcooked, and kind of icky.

-A softshell crab po'boy with fried zucchini and housemade potato chips from a beachside restaurant in Surfside, TX, still crushed by the last hurricane.

-Lamajoun from the Middle Eastern market, cooked on my new pizza stone ($7 at Ross!)

-"Bourbon balls" from the ME market, because they're a pain to make and I always crave them in winter. Turns out, it's a REALLY bad idea to buy bourbon balls at a ME market, even if they're really cheap. These were like glorified marzipan, rolled in chopped nuts. I like marzipan, but I wanted bourbon...

-Armenian beer from the ME market (meh), super-cheap Slovakian beer (good), and raspberry brown ale from Vermont (good).
