You ladies still greeted us and gave us a complimentary dessert and green juice since you had sold out. (Both were great by the way!) We thought that was so kind and generous of y'all! We will make it back sometime to try the meats 😊😊

      Everyone does it differently. So do what you think is good. There is no wrong way of trimming the fat off other than not doing it at all. Trim what you think makes it look good and thats probably good enough.

      There is hot chocolate and it tastes good. Then there is hot chocolate using these Mexican blocks that tastes amazing. Imagining them being used outside of their traditional use makes you imagine how wonderful it must taste. Brings a tear to the eye of anyone who grew up with this hot chocolate. This is because it brings back childhood memories of time spent with your parents or grandparents. Hope I explained it.

    Made my own green spagett and it’s a game changer. Can’t wait to make it to Lockhart to try it for real.

    The ways she describes her cooking process. It’s seems like decades of experience. Great job on her venture.
