It's just shy of six o'clock in the morning and it's light enough outside to see colors, which to me means it's daylight. Well, it is, almost. And it's hot, almost. The handy little weather graphic that resides on the home page of my browser tells me it's 78 degrees. This is better than last year at this time, when it was about 88 degrees. But, it's still steamy and I'm not crazy about it, but I can live with it.
My wife suggested last night that we arise at a reasonable hour today (I always do...she tends to like to sleep in on weekends) and drive to our favorite place for migas, Bigote's. Migas consists of eggs scrambled and sauteed with strips of corn tortillas, diced onions, diced jalapeños, diced fresh tomatoes, and cheese, along with various spices (chile powder, cumin, etc.) and condiments (e.g. salsa or pico de gallo). Generally, they are served with refried beans and warm corn tortillas, the latter of which may serve as the migas-delivery-vehicle. Bigote's has long been our favorite place for migas. We first ate there about 1991, before we were wont to venture into such little joints in highly-ethnic areas. I think the experience with Bigote's may have convinced us that trying out little places where we were apt to be in the minority was a good thing. Anyway, my wife suggested it. I think she's being especially good to me because of the lousy couple of days I've had. So, when she awakens, we will begin getting ready.
After breakfast, we'll probably nose around Arlington to see what has changed since our last trip there. Even though it's only about 30 miles away (maybe less), we rarely get there anymore. When we lived in Arlington, we rarely got to north Dallas. They are worlds apart. There are some interesting Asian markets in Arlington, where all the ingredients for Vietnamese, Laotian, Chinese, Thai, and other Asian cuisines are readily available. I like wandering the food markets, though most of the fresh vegetables and seafoods are completely foreign to me. Even though I eat at ethnic restaurants, I haven't a clue in many cases what the ingredients look like before they are put into the dishes. Or, maybe I do, but I just haven't equated what I have seen with what I have eaten.
I'm not much into blogging right now. Maybe later, after I've seen what the world outside my window offers.

I'm not sure i could eat this :-{
I could eat it for lunch or dinner. I don't seem to be able to handle eggs in the morning, only carbs like toast or waffles. With lots of maple syrup or maple butter....
