I love ordering fajitas when we are eating out at a Mexican restaurant. I don't like how much room all the plates and pans take up, but I love the idea of making my own at the table. Peppers and onions bring so much flavor to the fajitas, I can say they are my favorite Mexican inspired dish. Besides chips and salsa. That is my favorite food of all time.
This time of the year we are busy looking at 4-H pigs for the kids. We like to take the kids along. Mason loves hanging with the smaller litters, I like that the older kids are taking part in selecting their 4-H pigs, and they start looking for the characteristics in the pigs we know the judge will be looking at as well. The hardest part is selecting a few, and not buying all of them!
