Today after church we came home, and HW2 finished making posole. This is typical New Mexican cuisine that we love. It consists of hominy that must be soaked and then cooked to soften it; then you add chili and cubes of pork to the mix. It is wonderful and usually enjoyed by us at this time of the year. Of course, we had to have warm tortillas to dip in the posole. Our friend Byron, our near neighbor, joined us for lunch, and he had never tried this dish. Needless to say, he finished his bowl and thoroughly enjoyed it. Best of all we ate outside in the sunshine with the temperature in the high seventies. It was a beautiful day here. Tomorrow when it only gets to the fifties, we will wish it was Sunday again so we could again sit outside for our lunch. Later in the afternoon we could smell steaks being cooked on the grill and watched as other neighbors sat down outside to enjoy their steak dinner. I thought they might invite us for dinner but they did not do that.
Otherwise it has been a quiet day with phone calls to and from kids and a chance to work on the annual Christmas letter and to do some work on the next glass window (Icelandic Poppies). Tomorrow I hope to get the pieces cut and ground but that is dependent on the weather. I can work out even if it is in the fifties if the wind is not blowing. We shall see. Happy travels.
