Attention friends, Delux has a new menu. If you're new to the blog, Delux is my favorite bar in Boston, where I spend the majority of my nights out. The bartender pours a stiff drink and they have incredible food that is reasonably priced. The menu is small but it changes about every six months. New to the menu for the Summer season are Pork Tacos.
Despite the small menu, I had a hard time making decisions on Friday night. Everything (including the latest version of the Delux Grilled Cheese) sounded really good. The Pork Tacos are actually an appetizer - one for $5 or two for $9. The braised pork was tender and oozing with citrus and spice flavors. The thick rings of pickled red onions and creamy crunchy napa slaw were piled high and had a generous sprinkle of cilantro on top. Now that I've had a taste, it's going to be hard to order anything else off the menu next time I'm in. I drank these with a dirty martini. I washed down the tacos and martini with a glass of white wine. Then I had a few Long Trail Belgian Whites. Long Trail might be one of my most favorite beer companies ever. Largely due to the fact that the Vermont house my family spent weekends at growing up was next to the brewery.
The rest of the weekend entailed a good old fashioned late night dance party and some city walks. I have soooo many city walk pictures that I haven't shared yet. These walks included Adam, ice cream, seals, fountains, weeping willows.....who wants to see pictures? CHECK ONE: (aka leave a comment)-Yes, I enjoy your random pictures of Boston sights
-No, you take too many pictures, stop inundating us.
And on Sunday night I made Tacos. I wasn't planning on it, but whenever I make a Shaws trip (The supermarket across town - 5 stops on the train) I make sure to pick up ground beef, an Old El Paso Dinner kit and Near East Spanish Rice. This is such an easy dinner to whip up. I usually save it for a rainy day, but Adam was so excited I to learn I bought taco fixins, he requested I make them that evening.
Beef tacos it was.
With fresh shredded Colby-Jack Cheese.
The standard taco fixins in our house also include lettuce, avocado, tomato and sour cream. 
Clearly, I like both. I always buy the dinner kit that has 6 of each shell.
Near East Spanish Rice is the perfect accompaniment to any Mexican meal. I ate a third taco and another scoop of rice. The next night I ate a taco salad for dinner. 
Sometimes my camera decides not to shoot with the flash. Interesting.
Other highlights of the week - the fridge pre supermarket sweep.
Post. (On an average day it looks like the shot above.)
I did well.
