Oh no!\u00a0 It’s that time again when I must put on my suit of armor and wander forth into the jaws of my personal trainer, Nurse Ratchet!\u00a0 Today I had to tell her my lower back was giving me fits, and she immediately threw me down on the floor (which by the way is hard on the armor plating) and began a tribal ritual which she learned while traveling up the far reaches of the Amazon.\u00a0 \u00a0Fortunately for me, this time it did NOT involve poison darts or pygmy alligators or piranhas!<\/p>\n

After an hour of hearing snap, crackle, and pop sounds, my back was pain-free; however, the rest of my body was in severe anguish.\u00a0 I was told, “This too shall pass!”\u00a0 I am still waiting.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Selecting our next meal!!<\/p><\/div>\n

As we passed the frozen dessert section, Mary said she heard a voice from the freezer.\u00a0 I thought she may have hit her head at the gym, but I also listened to the sound.\u00a0 It sounded like Dolly Parton singing!\u00a0 \u00a0I turned up the hearing aid and sure enough, it was Dolly and she said, “Take me to Jeff’s house!!)\u00a0 Then it hit us.\u00a0 We were asked to get a peach cobbler for Jeff, his favorite!<\/p>\n

Peach cobbler is called a cobbler because the biscuit or batter topping puffs up when baked, creating a texture resembling the cobblestones of a cobbled street.\u00a0 The term “cobbler” also hints at the dish being put together haphazardly, using whatever ingredients are available, like how a cobbler (a shoe repair person) might fix a shoe.<\/div>\n
\"\"

Guess where this is going?<\/p><\/div>\n

I was warned not to take pictures since she was makeup-free, but who needs makeup when you are this pretty?<\/p>\n

The evil eye is watching my every move, but why???<\/p>\n

\"\"

Why is she smiling??<\/p><\/div>\n

The evil eye watched the margaritas, ensuring the 36″ long straw I usually carry with me did not make it into her glass when she was not looking.\u00a0 Who, me?<\/p>\n

\"\"

NOW, we know why!!!<\/p><\/div>\n

The chili verde burrito drove in by itself and parked in front of me!\u00a0 It was quiet, perhaps battery-powered.\u00a0 It was huge and spoke to me (in Spanish), “Betcha you can’t eat the whole thing!”\u00a0 \u00a0 I oiled up my jaws with a big swallow of the margarita, and the entire burrito disappeared in minutes.<\/p>\n

The word “burrito” means “little donkey” in Spanish.\u00a0 Some believe the name comes from the appearance of a rolled burrito resembling a donkey’s bedroll, while others think it’s because they used to be sold from donkey carts.\u00a0 In Mexico, burritos are typically smaller and have fewer ingredients.\u00a0 The first burritos are said to have been made in Juarez, a city that borders Texas.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"

This burrito was HUGE!<\/p><\/div>\n

Mary fixed up two beautiful artichokes for dinner, as I was still full from the burrito; it had the last laugh!!<\/p>\n

We went over to Jeff’s and visited.\u00a0 We brought him his cobbler.\u00a0 We kept half of it since it was family-size!<\/p>\n

We then focused on the hot tub since it was a gym day.\u00a0 We soaked for about an hour.\u00a0 I used the jets directly on my lower back, which made it feel even better!<\/p>\n

We then turned on the TV and continued watching The Blacklist.\u00a0 This time, we kept busy as we polished a beautiful tea set that Irene had given us (her new place was too small).\u00a0 We wanted to put it out in the formal dining room and show it off; it was beautiful!!!\u00a0 I worked until 10:00 p.m., at which time I crashed.\u00a0 Mary kept working.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Thank you, Irene, we will keep this beautiful set on display and use it often!!!<\/p><\/div>\n

I should note, the platter is a work in progress.\u00a0 It required some additional TLC.<\/p>\n

The Sandman came soon and I was off in dreamland!<\/p>\n
