Mexican food groups

The video of the pineapples was a total mistake.  I couldn't get the "Video" button moved to  the "Photo" button.    Let it be said it's a photo of pineapples, another of the building  blocks of the Mexican diet.  And oooh weeee!  Are they sweet and juicy!

Ramiro came at 11:30 and fixed the fridge.  He replaced the motor, the freon, tinkered with whatever and we now have a fully functioning refrigerator.  In fact, Mr. C has made his first batch of ice cream.  Strawberry.  Yummm.

Jaime the Contractor came by this afternoon to measure for a big paint job (the entire house), and a tiling job in the two half baths.  He'll come back tomorrow with the (bad) news on the cost and how much paint we need to buy.  It's going to be a mess; he has to remove ALL the old paint from the exterior of the house so he can slather the walls with a water repellent treatment.  But we'll go to Jack's to avoid the mess.
