Tucson fine cuisine

I am thinking about blogging my opinion on every hotdog stand in South Tucson. That may take a few years. This morning we had hotdogs for breakfast along with some homemade potato chips. It was so good and so close to our new home. I already feel healthier.

Yesterday I took the day off to head to Mexico with Bruce and Enrique to meet with Josue to inquire of the work with the church plant there. It was an encouraging meeting and I had a great breakfast.

I had a chance to work on the guest house yesterday – still tearing down walls. My friend Jesus stopped by yesterday to map out a plan for my electrical needs. With Jesus’ talent, I anticipate having electricity this week. It requires a permit and a city inspection, but I’m hopeful. Apparently the guest house was not a recent addition – there are indications (from the wiring in the attic) that it was built in the 40s. We now believe the guest house was the original house and the main was the addition. Always fun surprises.

We bought some white corn yesterday on the side of the road. I don’t remember ever having tried this. Yun tells me it is not sweet like the corn I am used to. We paid $4 for 12 ears.

Today Nacho continued the horrible job of removing tile in the main house. This is his third week on this task. Nacho is an incredibly hard worker and we will continue to employ him for as many Saturdays as he is interested. Having electricity will make most of the work substantially easier and will eliminate the need to depend upon battery operated tools.

I did recently purchase a sweet Ryobi cordless reciprocating saw which has proven invaluable. I used it today to slice through some walls.

Yun parents are now on their way up from Mexico and we have big plans for Chinese buffet! My uncle Dennis flies in tomorrow so we hope to see him for dinner.
