Tavern on the Bay

I am missing the fall season. The chilly air and bundling up in layers but this 85 degree weather is really helping ease the pain of not having an autumn season. It is PERFECT outside right now. Saturday night we went to a cute little place right on the bay for dinner called Harrisons Landing-Tavern on the Bay for a surprise birthday party with a bunch of the families from Ryan's office. We had a nice walk down the pier passing all of the boats to get the the restaurant where we enjoyed a lovely dinner on the deck. It was a good night in Corpus Christi.

The hub texted me today with a dinner request. I was a nice wife and made it. Taco soup its yummy, easy and great for rainy or fall days.

I am going to share a recipe for the first time on this blog

here is goes.

Taco Soup

you need:

1 pound hamburger (not pictured, eww)

1 pkg. taco seasoning

1 can of corn

1 can of kidney beans (or whatever kind of beans you would like)

1 can of diced tomatoes

First brown your hamburger, drain and add taco seasoning. Add to a pot with kidney beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Simmer on medium until warm. Told you it was easy.

optional toppings:

sour cream

grated cheddar

tortilla chips

Record-breaking rainfall that flooded city streets brought partly from Hurricane Karl.

It poured all weekend, i was scared to leave the apt. Every time i did i soaked my feet.

Okay so the rain is not going to go away, i am in DESPERATE need of some rain boots for hurricane season. I have never owned any, snow boots yes but rain boots no.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

drumroll....

Corpus Christi, TX it is!!!

everything is bigger in Texas....

...and the population is going to be even bigger considering we are moving there in June!

TEXAS, our new home. CRAZY!
