COME ABOUT?

CRISIS.
APRIL 2015 ALL THE KIDS LEFT
HOME AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY
BACK THERE TO COOK FOR ANYMORE.
I LOVE TO FEED FOLKS AND HAD A
LITTLE BIT OF FLEXIBILITY WITH
TIME AND FINANCES.
A FRIEND OF MINE HAD THE TRUCK
AVAILABLE.
IT WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY MAY OF
2015.
AND DECEMBER OF 2016 WE WERE
ROLLING DOWN THE ROAD.
MY HUSBAND BUILT THE TRUCK FOR
ME AND WE HAVE BEEN MAKING A GO
SINCE THEN.

SUCCESS.

SANDWICH.
I LIKE TO ADD IT TO THE CHEDDAR
SIDE AND THEN THE PICO GALLO
ON THE PEPPER JACK SIDE.
>> David: THAT'S THAT
SOUTHWEST KICK IN THERE.
>> EXACTLY.
>> David: SALT AND PEPPER.
>> AVOCADO WAKES IT UP A LITTLE
BIT AND BRINGS OUT THE FLAVOR.
>> David: BAM, BAM, BAM.
>> AWESOME.

BREAST THAT WE FRESHLY SLICE
EVERY DAY.
WE'RE GOING TO WARM IT UP ON THE
