just desert.












It is HOT here, 102°F today, not even close to being enjoyable. We spent the day shopping and eating and driving, and now we're home to cook and watch movies, which sounds pretty good to me.

We had lunch at Elmer's Tacos in Chandler, because it was on the way to where we were going. The reviews I'd read were kind of above-average, but once we were there I failed to remember what was supposed to be the standout item.













Once our food arrived, it became obvious what the standout item was: the beans. The carne asada taco (below) was OK, the tamales were pretty good, but the beans were dynamite. Lardy and creamy, but not a totally formless homogeneous goo: there were still a good many recognizably bean-shaped beans in the mix. Too bad I didn't order the famous bean burrito.
