Fat, dumb and happy...

and ready for some football. I just made some burritos and they were pretty damn good. I was going to make tacos, but saw some tortillas when I was looking for the shells and decided to go that route. I really wish you could get corn tortillas over here because you can fry them in oil and make your own taco shell. Very tasty! I guess I could have tried that with the flour, but I didn't. I bought some ground beef, lettuce, salsa, a bean and tomato sauce and Leicester cheese and headed home.

About halfway there I realized that I didn't have any taco seasoning mix and I stopped at a couple of what they call "supermarkets" over here. It's kind of like Korea in that respect as all the 7-11 type stores are called soo-pas there. None of them had the seasoning mix.

You know me and the internet...quick search and I had this recipe. I did the usual, brown the meat, grate the cheese and tear up the lettuce and poured the seasoning mix in. I've never noticed oregano in a mix before and it didn't really add or subtract to/from the flavor, but what was immediately noticeable was the scent of cinnamon. I may try more next time, because although I caught hints of it, it was over powered by the chili powder, cumin and cayenne. I'm not certain whether the heat the recipe carried was due to the "hot" salsa I used or the cayenne, but if you are sensitive to hot foods, be careful. I really like the tomato/bean sauce too. I added it for the last 15 minutes of simmering and I preferred it to straight refried beans, because the flavor permeated the meat and was more evenly distributed than a layer of beans normally is. They probably sell something similar in the states, but I've never looked for nor seen it.

Now it's time to see if it passes the fart test. I guess that tells you about my plans for New Year's Eve...nonexistent...well, aside from belching and farting that is.

Happy New Year!

Might as well bitch a little...

I have a habit of retiring to the balcony in the afternoon to read books or magazines for awhile and enjoy the sun. As long as the sun's out it's fine but I only lasted about a half an hour today. I should probably start wearing long pants.

If you're here...

you've probably been to my previous site and know why I moved so I won't bother explaining again. We'll see how this works. Hopefully it will improve the frequency of my posts.
