My Little Nest

Sometime around February of each year, Andy and I start craving quality Mexican food. In our honest opinion, the only place in the entire world to get this food is at Mi Nidito in Tucson. I couldn't enjoy the margaritas this year, but the food was enough to knock my socks off. As Maddie gets older, she too is learning to appreciate the finer things in life! Andy always orders the President's Plate which was named after Bill Clinton's order when he dined at the restaurant during his presidency. Dad shows off his ability to match President Clinton!


Item 1: Beef Taco... you must eat this first to maintain the crispy outer shell

Item 2: Chile Relleno... you have to eat it when the cheese is still hot or it gets congealed

Item 3: Beef Tamale... who cares if you're already getting full? If Bill can do it, so can you!

Item 4: Chicken Enchilada... you feel your arteries closing, but you must persevere

Item 5: Bean Tostada... you must eat this last so that it soaks up all the "juice" from the other items.

Shrimps for Dinner

Here's what I know:

Maddie is an interesting kid that never ceases to just plain shock me. After a big day of moving, cleaning, fixing computers, etc... the three of us went to Orenco Grill for dinner. Andy's dad, Earl, gave us a 50% off card so we decided to splurge a bit! Maddie feasted on peel and eat shrimp. Everytime I see her eat shrimp, I'm just amazed. She loves seafood... salmon (cooked or raw sushi) and shrimp are her favorites.

Enjoy your shrimp for dinner while we're in America Maddie! It will be a Sunday brunch in Shanghai before you get it again! :)
