I found something that really works to ease leg/foot/toe cramps. Lie on your back with your legs out straight, then point your toes as hard as you can up towards your head. This stretches the muscles in the back of your legs and the cramps go away right away. At least it works for me.

When you take Magnesium you wont have leg cramps any longer. Please believe me.

This morning I made home made chorizo mixed with scrambled eggs, which we put in corn tortillas along with avocado slices! Fresh berries on the side. It turned out really well, if I say so myself! It was my first time making chorizo- I got the recipe from a friend who does a food/cooking blog.
I'm very satisfied and hubby is a happy boy!!!!
Home made Chorizo?!

I was so happy last season when they one the title.

We are living together as husband and wife. Not married. It is too difficult to explain why not.
But sometimes it is not so easy living with a disabled man.

Home made Chorizo?!

That's a recipe I definitely need!
It's quite easy! Her blog is Ydelicacies, but here's the recipe: (in American measurements, I'm afraid...)

1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1/2 C white vinegar
1/3 C chili powder (she strongly recommends Gebhardt Chili Powder- an old favorite among many Texans! You can get it on Amazon)
2 Tablespoons garlic powder
2 Tablespoons dried oregano leaves, crushed in your hands
1 Tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground pepper
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sugar

Step One: Put the ground beef and pork in a large bowl, add the vinegar and mix very well with your hands.
Step Two: In a small bowl, mix everything else together very well so all are evenly distributed.
Step Three: Add the spices to the meat and mix very well with your hands, making sure all the spices are evenly mixed in.
Step Four: Put chorizo in an air-tight bag or container and refrigerate at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight so that the flavors can blend nicely.
Step Five: You can make them into patties or into casings for sausage links.

These are NOT spicy in the sense of HEAT- hubby added ground red pepper to his eggs to give it some "heat."

NOTE: This is the first time I've ever made chorizo. The tartness of the vinegar was noticeable, but is obviously important to the flavor. This is not something I would eat by itself, but was VERY good in scrambled eggs. PUTTING THE CHORIZO-SCRAMBLED EGGS IN WARMED, SOFT CORN TORTILLAS really brought all the flavors together nicely! I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!!!!! :)
Obviously this makes 2 pounds of sausage!!!! Since meat isn't cheap anywhere, you might make a smaller batch first, but I leave that choice to you.

I intend to explore other chorizo recipes- hubby said he's often had chorizo with more and different spices added in. So I will be using this as a sort of base to start from, and will add other things until I have tweaked it to my PERSONAL taste.

Enjoy!!!!!!! :)
