    Happy Monday, all! Joe, chilaquiles sound good. We got a Hello Fresh box this week (I forgot to skip it) and one of the meals was "fully loaded pork taquitos" so I made those yesterday and they...

    Joe, that makes some sense. I've noticed too that if I'm not all-out busy I wonder what I'm missing. Especially in a new job. J22, hope the itching settles down. Too bad you can't get a...
