Talking Tacos
Feeling considerably better today. Went along Sydney Rd looking for a good, inexpensive secondhand ceramic teapot and also some luggage for Shantoozy. She wants a good piece of luggage with wheels. I'm happy with my daggy big old cardboard suitcase from the Sixties with the plastic handle snapped off and a new one just screwed right on in there, buddy! Hay, I just thought: maybe I could screw some wheels onto it, too. Hmm.
Was able to do some writing work today, too, which was relieving. I hate it when I let too much time elapse between writing and yet do I hate it even more when I'm willing and raring to work but am physically unable? Grr.
Had tacos for dinner tonight. The U.S.A. style. The Australian style. Brittle corn crisp shells filled with lettuce, tomato and (in our instance, fake) mince meat, spiced, and topped with salsa. Nice. Now, there are many TV advertisements that annoy but one of the stupidest would have to be almost all of them actually, but relevant to this bitch is the one where the prospective diners are all in befuddlement and complaining that the crisp taco shells won't stand up on their middles, that is the curved end where the shell is folded. They even try the ol' nails-in-the-tabletop routine to try and create a stand for the shell but, lo and behold, any nails that you might try for this device shall invariably buckle and bend and wind up just being useless defacement to Mom's fine veneer mealtime surface. So, thank our lucky stars, for they (i.e.: some company or other) have now released taco shells that are flat along the curved side. Well, gee-whizz, Mom, that is sooooo much of an advancement over SIMPLY LAYING THE DANG THINGS ON THEIR SIDES AND FILLING THEM AND EATING THEM THAT WAY!!!!!!! Grr.
Anyway, I shall now watch a fillum. On DVD. With NO advertisements!

Luggage? Mine is a duffle bag and a backpack :P
tacos... I like my tacos on flour tortillas... Didn't realize shells were now flat-sided. I should post up my enchilada recipe. Hm. We shall see. You're obviously feeling better. YAY!
It's still lingering but, yes, I am feeling much better than I was, thank-you, 'Neuro.
And, yea, post up that enchilada recipe. We'll see how it compares to Shantoozy's, ay? Nck-nck-nck!
Am still gonna try your curried scallops but next week, I'd say. I think the ol' tum-tum will have stopped being a stom-ache by then!
hey you... you got a return link from Xenovia369... Didn't know if you were aware or not... I'll do the enchilada recipe when I'm in TN.
Have you tried the scallops yet? Eh??? nudge nudge
