What's in your pico de gallo seasoning? Probably several kinds of peppers and/or chilis and perhaps paprika of some kind. Beans sounds like a good thing to pair it with. You might also be able to use it like a good jerk seasoning. (So many of the packaged ones are too mild.)
I'm making semolina bread today, including 3 small burger buns. If they come out well, I plan to have burgers on the grill for supper, before the weather turns cooler for Easter weekend.
I still haven't made the boxed brownie mix I got out the other day.

It'll just be the two of us, but that's often been the case because Easter seldom overlaps with UNL's or our granddaughter's spring break, even before the social distancing limitations.
I may make a Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake just to have something to celebrate. We discovered that it freezes well, so I may make one for the freezer as well.
We've pretty much given up on our black raspberries, they've been crowded out by other vegetation. I'm putting in 6 more elderberry plants this spring to take the place of some dogwoods we lost a few years ago along the east side of the house.
Thanks for letting us know, he's in several high risk categories.

When it comes to baking, any method that works is a good one. I'm an engineer by training, I tend towards precision when possible.
I've seen some recipes for this as well, with as many as 6 layers per roll.
My wife says the local grocery store has roped off their bulk bins, but they have set out some packages of the bulk items that are pre-weighed and are at the bulk price.
We had takeout pizza tonight.
I've used chocolate in traps before, mice like it a lot.
Were the freeze dried bricks instant yeast or cake yeast?
I would have expected more of them in Kansas, the heart of the wheat belt.
Not sure what I'd ever use them for, it isn't that hard to compute a golden ratio, a concept which goes back to at least ancient Greece.
My guess is that the big department stores are in big trouble: Macy's, JC Penny, etc. JCP was already on the edge.
Those that also do groceries, like WalMart and Target, are doing fairly well so far, but they're probably living on the grocery sales, I didn't see much of anybody looking at much less buying clothes when we went to WalMart the other day. The parking lot was nearly empty, but we were there a half hour before it was closing.
Not sure about hardware chains like Ace, True Value, Home Depot, Lowes and Menards.
Hotels and especially smaller motels are going to be in big trouble too, many of them are heavily leveraged.
The interesting question will be how the retail sector is changed. Stores were already moving away from being open 24 x 7, I doubt we'll see a rush back to that.
I read an interesting point in the WSJ. When the clothing stores do get reopened, their inventory will all be for the wrong season. This is also the time of year when stores order up for Christmas, and that isn't happening.
The mom-and-pop stores are going to suffer the worst, I expect 2/3 of the non-chain restaurants in Lincoln are going to be hard pressed to reopen. Others may come along and utilize that space at some point, everybody thinks they can run a restaurant, bar or bakery. Most can't, even in good times, and good times are a long ways off.
