The "tooth catcher," perfect fish tacos + a magical sunset
- Luke lost his second tooth yesterday. It was really loose all afternoon and he rigged up this "tooth catcher" to make sure he didn't lose it once it fell out...
- Jeff came home with mahi-mahi from a friend yesterday and made the most incredible fish tacos. Those tacos are definitely going to be on regular rotation at our house. I'm finding we want to eat very differently here because a) we don't want the oven on heating up the house, b) we don't what to eat anything hot because it's so hot out, and c) I'm really trying to work primarily with local ingredients because there's stuff from the mainland you just can't get and when you can get it it can be crazy expensive eg $4 for an apricot. But local ingredients are different than what I'm used to cooking with so we're in a learning period...
- We had planned to snorkel in the afternoon yesterday but didn't make it to the beach until after dinner. I kicked out while Jeff watched the kids but it wasn't clear enough to see anything so I came back and played with the kids in the pretty big waves, we laughed and laughed and there were conch shells calling back and forth and this beautiful sunset and I realized I hadn't been in the water watching the day end since years and years ago when I used to surf with Luke and we'd stay in at Rincon until it was pitch black and the stars were coming out. And also last night tiki torches at a resort down the way sparkling on the shore and Zo just laughing like crazy as the waves came towards us and the kids diving and so very comfortable in the water already even though we've only been here 6 weeks...it was really magical...
- Zo sleeping in Luke's room last night, hoping to catch a glimpse of the tooth fairy...
- Our friend Vanessa over and chatting on the porch before bed...
Happy Thursday!
