Ramblings of an EdMan

April weather definitely teases, 72, sunny and gorgeous yesterday, 37 and cold today.

Mid 50s the rest of the week seems more seasonal.

But, Spring in New England is really just May and June. March and April is what I call the lion and lamb season between winter and spring. Like this weekend teases of spring followed by the harshness of winter.

And definitely not time to put away the parka.

Heck, during my Memorial Day weekend vacation in the Berkshires, I carry a parka and shorts and usually use both.

Our local take out and drive through options didn’t appeal tonight. But easy to go to Shop Rite, get a pound of ground beef, a can of Rotel (chopped tomatoes with jalapeno), and some big flour tortillas. I already had some cans of kidney beans, cheese, salsa and sour cream.

Quick and easy to cook. 1 pound ground beef browned with cumin and chili powder. Then add a can of drained dark kidney beans or pinto beans, and a can of Rotel. I put in an a tortilla with cheese which I throw in the microwave for 30 seconds to melt the cheese and warm up the tortilla. I do mine with salsa, my wife likes salsa and sour cream.

Simple, easy, quick and delicious.

Takes around ten minutes.
