BJ Bryan came by around noon to work on a legal
matter and after we finished I asked him, “Have you ever been to Pro’s Ranch Market
for lunch?”
B.J. responded, “I have never been to Pro’s Ranch
Market.”
When I asked if he would like to go and have a few
tacos for lunch, he enthusiastically said, “Yes.”
So we drove across the bridge to Pro’s and ordered
three tacos each and the server gave us a few grilled onions and a grill jalapeño
and BJ went to find and buy two Jarritos, one of guaza and one of pina and I got
us two cups of ice and we had a great time adding the many different salsas and
onions, lime and cilantro to our tacos and eating them. Pro’s tacos are served in a double layer of small
tortillas made fresh in its tortilleria on premises. We ate three tacos each. I had buche (grilled and stewed tripe), a
carnitas, and a carne asado. B.J. had a
chicken, an carne asado, and a carnitas.
After lunch we walked round the store to get a lay
of the land. When I saw that there was a sale on fresh chicken quarters for
$.67/lb. I bought a package of five leg quarters and then went back to the
produce section and bought four red delicious apples ($.69/lb.) and four sweet
potatoes ($.69/lb.) to make chicken curry.
I did not thaw anything for dinner, so when Suzette
arrived home I suggested that we thaw and cook the three brats I had bought
last week at Sprouts and eat them with the bag of Boarshead Sauerkraut
($2.49/lb.) I had also bought at Sprouts last week. So while I went to pick up Willy at the Rail
Runner, Suzette thawed the brats and started boiling them in dark German beer
in a skillet. After the beer evaporates
Suzette adds butter and sautés the brats in butter until their skins turn
brown.
When I returned with Willy I cubed one red delicious
apple and 1/2 medium onion and ½ red bell pepper. Suzette sautéed those ingredients in another
skillet and added to them the sauerkraut.
Suzette fetched the mayonnaise, horseradish,
ketchup, and mustard and put them on the lazy-susan and we got beers and piled
the vegetable mixture on plates beside our brats and ate heartily.
Bon Appétit
