Lime Light



Right?  There's something so magical about cilantro and lime together...

In Oregon now. 
Our Immediate Tribe (aka my child, husband, and dogs) has finally reunited after two long months of being separated NY to OR.  He wrapped up the finishing of owning our first home and I went ahead with the kid to connect with my Ma and Pa who already live in Oregon. 
Not having been reunited more than 2.5 weeks our plans have gone full circle from getting a trailer and living in it for unknown amount of time while we eliminate debt and prepare for a more homesteady lifestyle... through to lets buy fuckin 100 acres, go off grid and figure it out...
....and we've landed back on earth and decided to go check out trailers to see if we could even Do it. ...we ended up walking out with a 31ft trailer.  We get it next week.

Parking this thing (the yet to be named trailer) in the back of Their property and going to figure out next steps...

Planting seeds somewhat successfully with my daughter.

Get on with the food already!  

Okay,
Here we have a carne asada ..the meat was pre marinated from a Mexican market, but we barbequed it and bought fresh limes and a white onion, ... cut about all the cilantro from the current batch in the garden... and tha'ts all you need! ..oh, and tortillas (i did not make the tortillas but thinking about adding that to the list of things I would like to learn)
I throw a tortilla on the fire till its crispy on both sides and burns my hand.  I hurry to the platter where I have now the carne cut up into thin long slices, and I scatter some along the middle of the tortilla. Sprinkling with the raw onion and tons of cilantro and then I squeeze out as much lime juice i can from one slice. Done.  And it's perfect. 
This was my first family tribe meal since we've all been together. It was a great way to start the next chapter of life..  family & food.


God, there's something about cilantro... how I love thee

....I spoke less about Lime than I should have considering the title.
