What's For Dinner?

Stuck in a car all day, desperate for something delicious to eat.

We roll into Green River, UT, which turns out to be about as desolate economically as the landscape is visibly. Fortunately there's a food market where we can grab some staples (such as limes and ice).   Interestingly, ice is sold in blocks out there in the desert.  Makes sense....

Ice Blocks

There's a bar, and a pizza joint, so we think maybe we'll head in there for a bite after we situate ourselves at the campground.

But once you've settled, it's hard to get the momentum to get back on the road, even if it is only for a few blocks.

 So I rummaged in the trailer to see what I could throw together for my supper.

Christy's Steak Avocado Tacos

  • Tortillas, Lettuce, & Salsa from the Denver CO Farmers' Market
  • Avocado & Cilantro from the Natural Grocer
  • Leftover grilled steak from the Athens' GA Farmers' Market
  • Homemade sour cream from Homeland Creamery, NC
I'll be honest.  It wasn't the most delicious thing.  There are a couple of reasons. 
  1. I didn't take the time to heat anything. 
  2. I put on a LOT of lettuce, but not enough salsa to dress it all. 
  3. It needed cheese. 
But it was healthy, fresh, and very convenient, and my only real option for a good meal that night.
