Today We are in Elkhart, IN by Mindy

Mark found a new comic-con he wanted to try out here in Elkhart, IN.  As per our usual travel rules, we have to try to eat at places that are local, or not available to us in central Ohio.  So today we ate at Ricky's Taqueria.  It was pretty good.  I like these little "hole in the wall" places that one can find when one looks on the Internet for highly-rated local places.  

While it hasn't started yet as I write this, the Hall of Heroes Comic-con looks like it should be interesting.  Mark is especially looking forward to a show by The Mads (Trace Beaulieu and Frank Conniff) of MST3K.  The whole con appears to be taking place in the restored Lerner Theater, which looked beautiful when we drove by.  Mark is also looking forward to the Hall of Heroes Museum, with it's Bat Cave replica.  I am sure he'll have pictures tomorrow.  

Today We Cooked Blue Apron by Mindy

I will preface this by saying that, at least right now, we are not affiliates anywhere, and no links on this page lead to any income for us. 

So, that being said, we have been getting Blue Apron meals occasionally, less than once a month, but when we feel like we need some "special" meals.  This week, one of our meals was Smoky Pork Burgers with Roasted Vegetables.

This is Blue Apron's picture.  Ours looked very similar, though!

The burgers were fine, dressed with a sour cream/garlic spread and baby kale, but the roasted veggies were phenomenal!  Chop a potato, add bite size broccoli, roast for 20 minutes, then add a mix of diced pepper, chopped kale, garlic and olive oil.  I could have just eaten that for dinner.  

We usually get one meat meal, one fish meal and one veggie meal, but that can change depending on what's available.  I have no idea if these are actually good for us, but it does really help with portion control.  No leftovers!  

So, I am thinking maybe we should mix it up and try a different meal delivery service sometime soon.  Anyone have any referrals codes to share?
