Our walking adventures

So, a few days ago we walked to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It's nice living so close and there is always such a good feeling around there. Here's a few pictures of our adventure: This is our favorite picture we got on our walk. Aaron got this picture and we are going to hang it on our wall. It reminds me of a scripture in D&C 88:7 ,"This is the light of Christ..he is the light of the sun"Here is the front view. As you can see we got there as the sun was about to go down. But it was so pretty. The dedication was awesome as well. We're glad we got to be a part of it.
It's weird seeing people there and knowing it's open now since we've seen it under construction and helped out with the open house for so long.
Here we are on the way back:)
Aaron's the king of the world! haha
....ooops, watch out for the mud Aaron!!
Another day we went up with Aaron's friend to see the view of Kennecott Copper Mine. This is on the way up.
Here is a picture I got of one of the side roads. The lighting was just perfect .
Here's is the mine. It is so big!!
We stayed until after sunset. Here we are walking up the hill. The view was awesome all around.
The lights of the Salt Lake Valley.

El Jaripeo taco stand !

Our favorite place to get tacos so far is called El Jaripeo. This place is awesome. Just say, "Seis tacos de asada y un burrito de asada tambien por favor. " and you'll be handed six beef tacos and a beef burrito . They'll put the meat on the tortilla and hand it to you so you can put whatever sauces, cabbage, cilantro, radishes, onions, etc that you want and then they'll wrap it up for you.
Here we are! You can also get tacos from the cow head, toungue, or stomach. You can also choose pig skin if you want. I'm not a big fan of those. So we stayed with the traditional carne asada. Chelsea is about to load up her burrito with a ton of yummy stuff:)MMMMMM. Six tacos for me:)
pretty
Then you add some lime soda....and the nacho libre movie and the meal is complete:)

The Mexican Market and Home made tortillas

So, I decided to make some juice with the juicer we got from my mom. Here I am juicing away!
Here is what it looks like before I juiced it:) I call it " the Dirty Green" If it look s good, here's basically what I did.

three green apples
two red apples
Half head broccoli
8 Blackberries
5 Strawberries
1 mango
1 handful spinach
1/2 Pineapple
Here's what it looks like after the juicer! It looks ....like a Dirty Green:)
MMMMMM. Chelsea even liked this one. It tasted great! I love to juice stuff. I also made some carrot juice too which is one of my favs
When I was in an area of Texas called Beamont, a little Mexican lady named Margarita would always make us the best greasy quesadillas. I missed them a lot. I had to get some Masa and make some myself. So we went to the Mexican market and got a tortilla maker and some other ingredients to have fun with and we got started. Here is a picture just after we pressed the tortilla. Just throw on some queso fresco or mozerella and wala!
And you fold it over like so. Like a turnover.
Then you fatten it up with some grease
MMMMM. This is the best way to make quesadillas. I don't like them any other way!

This weeks Mexican food comes from ......OUR PLACE! This is the final l product: One wonderful chicken taco.
Here is the Pico de Gallo that Chelsea made......yummy!
Here she is cooking the chicken
Here is the cabbage and radishes. Cabbage is one of the most important components to be among the best tacos.
Here I am turning the tortillas
Here's Chelsea making the tortillas with our tortilla press. .
Here she is making the dough
We had a lot of fun at the Mexican market. It's one of our favorite places! This is what happens to you when you eat a lot of LARD!
They had a special on pigs feet! YES
Candles of every saint. YES
and tons of little stores! What more could you ask for!?
