Taco Tuesday!!

Happy Tuesday all!!  Look at me blogging 2 nights in a row.  Perhaps it's becoming a thing for me.....who knows.  I am willing to bet its the alcohol consumption........

I hope the weather is good wherever you are.  A little birdie told me that it snowed in Vernon today, but hopefully it will be melted and warm by the time we get home!!  Today we felt like relaxing a bit so Trent spent the morning catching up on sports online, while I spent the morning reading.  We left the condo at about 11:30 and headed out for a drive to check out the area around the condo and go somewhere for lunch. 

See?  Wall......hole in it........
I read online about a little hole in the wall called Fuego's Bistro.  It literally IS a whole in the wall.  It was a bitch to find, but Susan English got us there safely!!  Many of you may think that all we do is shop and eat.  The shopping part is true, but as for eating.......really.......we have been too busy shopping to eat!  Most days is cereal for breakfast, then a late lunch and wine/beer for dinner.  Ok.....many of you probably think that we drink a lot, but that really isn't true either!!  Anyways, back to lunch!

Yum Yum!!  Empanadas with Cuban beans and rice!
Fuego's is Mexican with a Cuban flare.  The food was AWESOME!  I had sangria to drink and Trent had a margarita. 

Best salad ever!!!
To eat, he had the empanadas and I had the veggie tostado salad.  There were these walnuts on the salad that were spicy and wonderful.  Mmmmmm so good!!!  After we were filled up to the brim, I went to the bathroom for a quick pee and stole a roll of toilet paper.  Yes, that's right, good ole TP.  You see, there was only 2 rolls at the condo and one roll is pretty much sandpaper.  Soooooo I have been on the hunt for an easy accessible roll of toilet paper and the TP at Fuego's fit the bill!!  Yay me for having a big purse!  This was one day that Trent didn't complain of my oversized purse!!

After lunch we enlisted Susan English to help us get out of the back alley Fuego's was located in and direct us to the nearest Super Target.  No....not just Target but SUPER Target!  We wandered around for a bit and Trent found EXACTLY what he was looking for.  That`s right!!  The biggest jar of cheeze balls EVER!!  I mean come on, who doesn`t need that many cheeze ballz!

Excuse me, but I believe I requested the LARGE jar of cheeze ballz!!

After Super Target we took a drive looking for a place to buy cheap booze to bring back with us.  Since we only have about an hour and a half layover in Seattle, we don`t think we will have enough time to stop into the duty free shop and stock up.  Soooooo we drove around looking for someplace good! 

Although we didn`t buy booze here, I did admire their landscaping!
We saw some interesting folks on our travels today, but unfortunately, I wasn`t in the mood to be shot so didn`t take their picture.  Sorry! 

On our way back to the condo we stopped at See`s Candies.  OMG SOOOO good!  It`s like Purdy`s but better.  Their chocolates are HUGE and the assortment is insane!!  They gave us so many samples I wanted to barf!!  After See`s we went back to the condo for a pre-dinner drink.  We decided to hit up the happy hour at Hula`s Tiki Bar.  It`s a Hawaiian restaurant with the best menu.  Seriously, we really don`t just eat and drink and shop!!!  I had a Mai Tai and a blood orange martini while Trent had 2 passion fruit margaritas.  We decided to order off their Happy Hour menu and ordered the coconut shrimp rolls, pork tacos for Trent and tofu tacos and rice for me. 

Mmmm tofu tacos!!!
Coconut shrimp rolls with pineapple horseradish sauce!






We sat outside with the fire pit behind us.  We didn't actually sit that close the whole time!
 After dinner we continued our quest for cheap liquor.  We ended up at Total Wine.  It is like an adult Disneyland.  Where else can you buy a 6 pack of coolers for $3.47!?  Yes you heard me right.......now that is practically free.  We ended up picking up 2 60s of Bombay Saphire gin for $28.99 each.  We also decided to bring home a 26er of tequila just for shits and giggles.  It was $9.99!  Hopefully it doesn't get dumped at the border or we don't get charged $20 for it!  Mind you, that would still be a deal!  Tequila shots or margaritas this weekend anyone!!??  The greatest thing at Total Wine was these little 1 ounce packs of vodka, rum, whiskey, etc.  They are little pillow packs, packed separately.  You could pop a couple of those puppies into your bra or sock and drink for cheap at restaurants!  That's how classy we are.......


Speaking of classy..................

That's a mighty big bottle of gin miss........

After Total Wine we tootled around and stopped at Fry's for hot sauce, then headed for home.  Now we are just relaxing and I am thinking bed is in order soon.  We managed to pack up our suitcases to make sure everything will fit.  Hopefully we won't be overweight, but who knows!  We did pick up a lot of goodies!!

Tomorrow is our last day and we aren't really sure what we will feel like doing yet.  We are going to wing it but maybe just relax and take it easy.  We will see.  If it's warm we might hang out by the pool.  


Have a happy hump day tomorrow!!!
