I've been trying various canned refried beans.
La Sierra are Mexico's #1 canned beans.

Going by the taste, I don't think Mexicans much bother with canned beans, because La Sierra is BLAND. Do they taste like beans? Yup. But the dominant note on these beans is water.

Right now my winners for canned refried are surprisingly the kroger house brand. They taste good without being overpowering, but I suppose I'll have to branch out for others.

I suppose I should give my childhood staple rosarito another shot too.

A week in Cornwall was hectic, weather so so so abused the buses and trains.
Excellent

It's grim down south.

Bonnet.

Philistine.

Yes, I laughed today

Day 5: still no unicorn, and no prospect until at least day 8 (Memorial Day weekend).

Stop sniggering at the back.

I took the unicorn* in to get the TVs fixed - "we will need it all day, sir".
Next day - "you had better plan for us to have it for today as well, sir"
Day three "it may not be ready until tomorrow, thank you for your patience ..."
