I love fall. We have very few reds here, unlike the East Coast, but the Aspens do their best to help us forget that. I’m not complaining, My wildflower front yard has some spectacular fall into winter colors that hang out until spring.

This week went well. I’m traveling again, so I made an effort to do some substantial writing over the weekend before I left. Where I felt like Act One needed all the main characters fleshed out more, Act Two is more about storytelling transitions.

Monday Menu: Mexican Rice (Arroz Rojo)

I’m traveling again. When I return, we’ll dive into Thanksgiving recipes….

I had a very specific craving this past week.  I wanted an authentic Mexican rice, like you find on the side of your plate at a great family Mexican restaurant. I went searching for recipes and found two. I’ll post the videos and then the ingredients list. The key really does seem to be frying the rice. That step would explain why my previous attempts always fell flat.
