August 18, 2018 Breakfast - deconstructed egg sandwich. Lunch – Costco Hotdog  Dinner – Grilled Bratwursts, Sautéed Cipolini Onions and Saurkraut, and Purple Potato Salad

I suggested bacon and eggs for breakfast.  Suzette offered an amendment of adding fresh tomato slices from one of the beautiful tomatoes picked in her organic garden at the Center in Los Lunas.  I fried three slices of bacon while Suzette sliced the tomato.  Then Suzette took over and cooked three whisked eggs while I toasted a slice of whole wheat bread, covered it with slices of Cahill Irish cheddar cheese and then melted the cheese in the microwave.

Here is a picture.

We then rested until 10:00, when we went to the candy store and met with Mario to get the gates fixed, the trash and the weeds cleared.

After we got the clean up plan in motion at 11:45 Suzette andI drove to Costco where we looked for Dungeness crab but found none.  We decided to change the menu to crabmeat stuffed avocado salads, we bought 1 lb. of crabmeat.  Then we bought chicken mini-dumplings, bratwursts and sauerkraut for dinner, two packages of lamb chops for next week, fresh mozzarella for a presentation salads and goat cheese for fresh fig desserts and a few other items.

While Suzette waited to check out I ate a hot dog.  Then we drove home.

The avocados at Costco were green, so after dropping off the groceries, we drove to El Super.  There were no avocados at El Super, but we bought a cauliflower, limes, and ginger root.

We then drove to Lowe’s where we finally found ripe avocados. We got 6 small avocados and a couple of bottles of tonic water.

When we returned home I napped until 4:00 when Willy called and rode his bike over.  He put his bike into the Prius and we drove to the Bike Coop.  Greg agreed to take the bike on  consignment for sale.  We then drove to the Trek Superstore on Menaul, where Willy ordered the new Marlin 6 mountain bike he wanted.

We arrived home at 5:00.  Suzette was hungry.  I offered to help prep the potato salad.  I diced a colander of purple potatoes, three stalks of celery, and ½ onion.  Suzette boiled 8 eggs and peeled 4 that I diced with our egg cutter, while Suzette made a dressing with mayo, apple cider vinegar, and
sugar that she then folded into the potato salad ingredients.

Suzette then grilled 6 brats and sautéed cipolini onions from her garden in Los Lunas and the sauerkraut.

We ate a lovely dinner of brats, sautéed sauerkraut and onions with potato salad.  Suzette and I drank Warsteiner Oktoberfest beer.

Suzette went to bed and I stayed up to watch “Red Tails” about the Tuskegee airmen.

Bon Appetit
