Cabo Taco

There is a joint in Glendora,CA called "Cabo Taco". I love them. In Spanish "cabo" means "end" or "cape" (like a pennisular coastal thing...not Superman)SO SEAFOOD! Their grilled shrimp and fish taco are delightful. BIG YUM. Of course I want to duplicate it back here in Michigan so some swaps have occurred. I am esp excited about the curtido (pickled cabbage) and salsa de pina I have made this morning. The salsa in particular is gonna be amazing.

I started by fire roasting one big poblano, one yellow, one red (also hatch but those went in the curtido) sweet pepper. After charring and letting them cool, ofcourse, stem and deseed. Slice into strips. Then I sliced RIPE pineapple into taco sized bites(THAT is challenge here...lemme tell ya) Lil garlic and lime, some olive oil to help marinade and into the fridge. Closer to dinner I will season cornstarch and rice flour (50/50) with powdered chipotle and garlic, toss pollock cubes in the dredge. Quick fry in a nice oil. Corn tortillas and CHEF'S KISS!

Round 2

I am renewing my fitness vow. In the before times I had gotten down to 150lbs. It felt great. Thanks to COVID and menopause and hypothyroidism multipled by stress and anxiety and of course; vitamin D deficiency AND two shitty knees... I am back up to 195. Unacceptable. I have a grandson now. He has entered the "chase me I am a rowdy toddler!" and I want to keep up. So...here we go again. One hurdle is getting a lane at the pool. I am all about reserving a lane... IF THE DAMN APP WORKED! So swimming, which was lovely and efficient,is now kind of a PITA. The weather may start co-operating soon. Trying to decide if Big Brother knowing my every move is worth the feedback from the Fitbit. I have memorized the 1 mile routes at the park. What do you think?
