*I giggle and lick off some of the cream that fell on dough, Grace smiles too*
(sorry, a bit long on this one and the next one - hopefully won't be too sad)
*as ? can see, we have all the tortillas for the tacos, Grace sets aside 1/3rd for crunchy tacos, since she knows that ? loves those crunchy tacos*
*next up we roll out some more longer 'tortilla shells' to make for burritos, these are almost 2 times bigger*
*Joseph arrives with the ingredients, including shredded cheese, avocados, tomatoes, limes, cilantro, and couple of spices including very mild chili peppers for color and texture - along with more of his favorite cherry-coke, and also got ? a tasty sugar cookie so it can nom, while watching*
*den time, about an hour later*
*I get the meat cooking with Heat Wave, once its ready, I set in the oven at lowest temperature to keep the sauce simmering*
*as Grace is cutting veggies, excited from the smell of the taco meat, gets a bit distracted while cutting the last veggie, which was the tomato for salsa... made a prepping mistake, the tomato slipped and the sharp knife ended up cutting her right paw, with a deep cut, luckily for her it barely missed the vein by half inch*
*giving off a surprised yelp, wrapping a small cloth, not enough to control bleeding, looks around not seeing Sherrie anywhere, she was other side of the cat tree playing on a laptop with headphones on, didn't hear the yelp - limps over to where Sylvee is in the other den, quickly explains what happen, presents paw, Sylvee can see the deep cut - Grace had forgotten about the ache due to paw hurting a lot more, but Sylvee can also see the four or so bumps on left side near the tip of her tail from when it hit the counter couple times*
*in den, Vay carefully cleans up and removes the stained cutting board, sanitizes the area and brings out a new cutting board*
*for safety reasons of everyone in the den, sadly tosses the tomato away that Grace was going to cut, luckily was the first tomato, so Vay had plenty to work with, she finishes cutting the rest for the salsa and taco/burrito topping, also slices up avocados into slices*
