A day in Salt Lake City...

A day in Salt Lake City...  We ended up spending most of our day down there.  The main purpose of the trip was a routine visit to Debbie's endocrinologist, but of course we stopped at the Red Iguana on the way home. :)  This time Debbie and I both ordered the same entree (that doesn't happen very often): one of their specials.  This one was three tacos filled with shrimp, queso quesadilla, avocado, poblano pepper strips, and shredded lettuce.  They were, quite possibly, the best tacos I have ever had.  We did enough reverse-engineering of the recipe to convince ourselves that we could make these at home – and we're gonna give it a try!

Along the way on this trip we passed the 25,000 mile mark on my Tesla Model X.  The last time I was in for a routine service the technicians there told me they don't see very many Teslas with that kind of mileage.  That surprises me, as in our household the gas-powered car (a Lexus SUV) gets driving about 1% of the total miles we drive.  Basically it only gets used if Debbie wants to go somewhere on her own.  If I'm driving, we go in the Tesla.  Now it may be true (I have no idea, actually) that we drive more miles than the average retired couple, and that might be contributing as well.  It's still true that I have had no major problems with the Tesla; just a few almost trivial issues that were all quickly resolved by the Tesla service folks.  At 25,000 miles that's also true of the last four or five Toyota products we owned, too...
