TJ ramblings

The wife and I were sitting in our TJ taxi,
on the way to her monthly Dentista visit.
Far up on the street corner,
I spied a kid cruising a stingray,
complete with a slick rear tire.

heart tree

We caught up to him and the wife got the shot.
Guess it wasn't a kid!
I've got this guy all figured out.
Probably a student who lives cheap on the TJ side.
Instead of getting stuck for hours in the border lines driving,
he parks on the US side and does the quick walk across.
Double Double cheap cheap.
The little stingray fits perfectly into his little car.
Or maybe he's one of those cheese smugglers,
that crosses the border carrying liquid meth in the tubes of his frame,
along with homemade cheese and cartel notes.
Hmm you never know.

happy street

On the way back the line was hot and not too long.
The sugar shack had the treats to make your hands all sticky,
while your stuck in line for half an hour.

Is it worth crossing over every month?
Sure it is.
I'll post up some progress pics of the wife's braces.
It's hard to remember how crooked they were only a year ago.
For $50 a month plus the $12 in taxi it's a great deal,
and a round trip from our house is 2.5 to 3.5 hrs depending on traffic.

$28

Of course we topped it off with a bottle run.
All this stuff for less than $28!

Well that's it over here have a good day!

straw belly buster

Out in california strawberries are almost a giveaway at $1-2 a box.
I'm not a big fruit eater,
and usually a sad portion of the bunch will go bad.

strawberries

A few weeks ago something happened.
My Mom dropped off the makings for strawberry shortcake.
It wasn't a staple growing up but it was around,
and I wasn't a huge fan.
Not sure why.
I still pick out the fruit chunks in yogurt.

strawberries sugar & cinnamon

Well it sucks to see food go to waste,
so the strawberries were sliced,
and a little sugar and cinnamon added to juice it up.

shortcake

To make it easy most stores sell the shortcake ready to go.
Add a little ice cream and ...

quick strawberry shortcake yum

Holey Chit now I'm addicted.
It's like all those years I missed out now catching up.
Can't beat it cause everything is less than $9,
and it'll give at least 2 nights of dessert.
Also if the strawberries are prepared they don't go bad.

perich brothers

Funny to watch the kids eat it.
Jakob eats it so each bite is carefully mixed.
Jaxon scoops up all the fruit, then cake then ice cream.
It's like a science experiment.

On top of that it's usually eaten right before bed,

so now I've got a belly.

Awesome getting older.
