Thursday night was simple. The kids screamed for Tacos. I gave in after the Bust of Wednesday. So I whipped up my famous ground turkey tacos and the kids were happy. I screamed for wine and shazaamm... a beautiful red Carmenere appeared before me. Like magic. Chile is known for great wine. I picked this bottle up at Trader Joe's for $4.99. Bam! Great taste. Muy Bueno.
Carmenere is similar to Malbec, though much better from the reviews I've read. It appears to have a more sophisticate taste than the Malbec. I like both tastes so I can't quite agree. They are both unique and delicious.
I found an extra flavor to serve with our tacos as Chile is also known for Tamales. Although these were made in Mexico, I still felt worthy that we were tasting a snippit of Chile. My stretch, it's all good.
I would recommend the Tamalitos which also came from Trader Joes. We used our steamer insert for our dutch oven that has been buried in a bottom cupboard for 22 years. Crazy how this food adventure has opened up many new doors... or cupboards.
Last night we went up to Fire Creek for a quick late dinner. Of course, to keep within our country, Andy and I split the Chilean Sea Bass. Delicious taste. Not quite worth the $ we spent. So we say good bye to Chile. Not sure where we're going next week. I need to do some fast talking to Elie to persuade her to stay out of America!
