Day Three Hundred Thirteen: Mercado Central

I can't believe we've been in Mendoza a month and only just made it over to Mercado Central for the first time today! I always love markets, and this one is especially nice because it's very bright and clean and not smelly like some markets tend to be. The market has been operating in this location since the city was first established, though it has obviously undergone changes over the years. I'm so glad we got to visit before we have to leave the city!

Day Two Hundred Sixty: Homemade Taco Seasoning

I wanted to make "avotacos" for dinner, but I didn't have any avocados, so I ran to the store and picked some up. When I got home, I realized I didn't have any taco seasoning either. So, I made homemade taco seasoning, which I had been wanting to try for a while anyway because the store-bought kind usually has sugar added. Then, and only then, I realized/remembered that half the family had another dinner commitment for the evening and one of staying half can't eat foods that need to be chewed at the moment. So I gave up and heated up leftovers. But, I did get a First out of it with the taco seasoning, so it wasn't a total loss. (And we'll have the "avotacos" tomorrow night.)
