It seems to take us a bit to get organized in the morning. Everyone gets up at different times. But once we started moving we did not stop. Rebecca and Nathan liked the Gravity Park so much they wanted to go back. So George and I dropped them off. We went and did the cat care, bought a few more groceries for our boudza meal and then we started a search to buy an ordinary round cookie cutter. I needed it for the bouzas. Who know that it would be such an impossible job. We went to about 5 stores. Finally it was time to get up to where Nathan and Rebecca were. We went to the Bosque Brewery for lunch. Steve and Jennifer joined us. I had a 1/2 caprese sandwich and a roasted onion/tomato soup. Yummy but not particularly photogenic. We then went on a walk in the Bosque (woods near the Rio Grande). You can tell that Nathan is more used to cold temperatures.
Then we tried 2 more stores, the second one I was successful. Target was one of the 1st ones I had tried but this one had what I wanted. So I got my cookie cutter. We went home to start the boudza making process.
I brought my pasta maker. Rebecca cut the circles and George and Nathan filled the circles. We have 3 trays full in the freezer now. So we are ready for New Year's Eve. All we have to do is make a big pot of soup and heat the boudzas.
We just fixed sandwiches at home for dinner and then we went to the River of Lights at the Albuquerque Botanical Gardens.

I couldn't believe it. So gorgeous. Hard to decide which pictures to use. We did not get home until 10pm. So it was a busy day.
Glad to hear the cookie cutter quest was sucessful! Pretty lights at the Gardens :-)
ReplyDeleteI asked Jim about the bouzdas. He says he remembered that they tasted really good and that you would make them and have friends over. Apparently I was pronouncing it wrong the first time I asked him so he did not know what I was talking about. Looks like fun!
