Re: president's day sale??

@CMeki, Yes the bean soup is fantastic! It is called either charro beans or borracha beans, the difference is that the borracha beans usually have beer or some type of alcohol in them since borracha means "drunken", but the alcohol is not necessary.  You could also look under the category of "Mexican bean soups" or "Mexican bean dishes", or even "frijoles" which is the translation for beans in Spanish.  One ingredient of this dish is cilantro (coriander leaves), but I don't know if you have that in Sweden or not.  It is also used in Asian cooking, so you might have luck there if you have any Asian food stores near you.  It doesn't have much flavor dried, so try to get fresh.

Speaking of Mexican bean dishes, I heard that one of the new harvestables in Jungle Adventure is "black beans"!  Your Vegetarian Sims should be very happy with this! 🥳  We are also getting avocados , and a new type of fruit that effects mood! 😎❤️

So, did you think that the Sims' "Fish Taco" was something made up for the game, or did you figure that it was just a type of taco that you hadn't heard of in your part of the world? 🤔  Seafood tacos are most popular in costal areas, but due to television channels like The Food Network, as well as the internet, seafood tacos are becoming more popular in more land-locked places.  Tacos can be made with anything!  Chicken is popular as is pork (called "carnitas"). Another type of taco that I love is still beef, but it isn't ground, and is made with brisket meat.  I've had veggie tacos with mushrooms that were delicious! ❤️ (I love mushrooms!)  I've even heard of duck tacos, avocado tacos, as well as octopus tacos.  But the strangest two taco fillings (in my opinion) are grasshoppers and ant larvae! 😮 🤒  These are very popular in Mexico, and very high in nutrients.  They might taste good but I don't thing I would like the textures.  😳  But I've never had pineapple on a beef taco!  Maybe I should try it!?!  I've had it on fish and shrimp tacos though.

Yeah, I thing your boyfriend can survive one meatless meal a day! 😃  But that is great that you two love to cook together! ❤️  Yes, for the Chinese "hot and sour soup", I would think either a mushroom broth, or a mushroom and vegetable broth would be good.  Mushrooms should give the broth some depth that might otherwise be missing from a straight vegetable broth.  It would be a good way to give the broth some "umami"! 😉

I love when our Sims get new foods in the game!  When City Living came out, I was super excited! :eahigh_file:  And I always have them eat as much as they can so they can cook those exotic recipes anytime they want!  I wish I saw what else we will be getting in Jungle Adventure besides Arepas!  That is so funny that "arepa" is the same in Swedish! 🤨  Don't feel bad about never having been on this side of the Atlantic.  I've never been on your side!  I love to travel, but we don't have a lot of money either!  I know some things about Scandinavia, but not a lot. I love watching food shows about other places in the world, but there are sooooo many place to learn about! 🤨  Hopefully both of us will get a chance to travel across the ocean some day! 

I also hope you can get Jungle Adventure soon! 😇 I understand about not being able to afford it right away.  ☹️  2 years ago I was very ill and had a major surgery so I couldn't play The Sims for many months 😢 .  I got way behind on all the Expansion Packs, Game Packs, and especially the Stuff Packs! 😞  Fortunatly, last summer there was the big Summer Sale and I was able to get most of the packs that I was missing! 🙂  I finally caught up with everything by the time Cats & Dogs came out!  

I hope you can find a bundle on sale of your missing packs where you live really soon! 🥳
