Last minute in Newburyport

Well folks, I'm sorry to disappoint but no post on Veggie Burritos - at least the homemade kind. Some friends of ours hand a brilliant idea to meet in Newburyport for a stroll and some dinner - considering the beautiful weather today we were all in. We have been meaning to visit the area but never had the open opportunity.  We had a lovely time! The weather was just right and the massive amounts of wandering warranted some gelato before dinner. They were speaking Italian behind the counter...

We ate at Agave Mexican Bistro and for this visit, enjoyed their full menu at the bar on the 1st floor.  We started with table-side guacamole stuffed with lime juice, jalapeno and tomato with house made corn chips, folks, this is guacamole you only dream about.  I thought my guac was good, this was incredible. Needless to say, I found it rather easy to be Veggie-Monster while out to eat, without forfeiting flavor or pizzaz. It was a little difficult with a pork stuffed chimichanga screaming my name...but the Classic Burrito was packed full of flavor and hey! it was a favorite dish in a new way. The vegetables were still crunchy but not raw and there was a medley of veggies (onion, pepper, zucchini, etc.) all packed inside a moist tortilla topped with salsa verde. I am very excited for my leftovers for lunch on tomorrow.

As for our Veggie Fajitas, we're going to make those for dinner on Monday night!  Tomorrow is Sunday so we're going to treat ourselves to some marinated beef tips from The Meat House with a large salad and re-stuffed baked potatoes for dinner. Bring it on daylight savings!
