5 thing Friday - Gravy, leaves, beans, Easter, cargo

Last weekend when it was gloomy weather, we ate at a food trailer in Burnet called Gravy.   I love finding food trailers in out of the way places and at wineries and breweries.  This one was outside of a popular coffee spot.
It was definitely tasty - who wouldn't love the combo of egg, smoked pork, and creamy gravy?  But it was pretty pricey and we are moving more towards just eating at home before we hit the road.
The trees everywhere look like they are struggling - all of the ones near the barn have this reddish look and the ones at home dropped so many leaves!  Next week I will start tackling getting some of them up.  Its always a huge project.
This was such a great supper - I soaked a pound of pintos overnight, added them to the crock pot with a pound of cooked ground beef, a can of tomatoes, some water, about a third of a jar of mole I had leftover, and some extra chili powder.  Cooked them all day on high and by suppertime they were soft and creamy and just wonderful!  We ate them with chopped onion and cilantro - YUM.
The bunnies are back.  Wonder what Easter will look like this year?  Doubtful we will deliver meals.
Each weekend we have so much cargo that travels back and forth with us to Highlands.  Hubby grumbles, but truth be told, I load most of it.  We take supplies, food, equipment, etc.  And there is always a project to work on.  This weekend we are replacing a water filtration system in the barn (yes, we had a broken pipe, too).  We are also going to grill and decompress.
Saturday can't get here fast enough for me!
