Why wait for Taco Tuesday? This is Taco Saturday!

Do you ever have a craving for something particular for lunch? I've been wanting tacos for a while, well, since we ate at a Mexican restaurant last week. So, it's tacos and refried beans for lunch later today. Got the tomatoes and lettuce all chopped, the cheese is already shredded, and the venison burger is ready to fry. I'll mix up some chunky salsa with the refried beans (canned, but still good) and probably make some lemonade instead of sweet tea. I know, I know. But I like something different than tea at times. We were really bad yesterday, though. I gave in to temptation and bought two candy bars for us at Walmart. Have you had the Hershey's Cookie Layer Crunch bars? They are to die for. My fave is the mint, but my husband likes the caramel. But, sometimes you just gotta have something chocolate, although we've both been doing good at cutting back. He's lost about 19 pounds and I've lost five. Of course, he's a big man so he's losing more than I need to! Now, hopefully no more candy bars for a while. What I'd really like to do is bake a dessert of some kind, but then there's too much left over to resist. Hope your Saturday is going terrific. Any special plans? My only special plans are the tacos. And house work. Uggg.

I cannot resist to have chocolate, only a small piece, but I want my daily chocolate. I also did house work, the never ending work.

@1creekgirl I have learned to be reasonable, a small piece is fine, more is not.

I wish I could stop with one piece. With me, it's either all or nothing.

A restaurant not far from where I live used to have tacos on the menu. But not anymore, which is unfortunate for me. Tacos isn't popular in Maine, United States.

@1creekgirl Spicy foods aren't popular in Maine in general.

I wonder why tacos aren't popular there? Our grandson lives in Maine now, but not sure how he feels about tacos!

Tacos sound like a really good idea, I will probably end up making us some in the next few days, or maybe even tonight for supper. We're visiting at our son's place, playing with our granddoggie this morning. Enjoy the tacos.

Tacos sounds great. It can be really hard to cut down on the sweet stuff.

We've done pretty good on the desserts, but that candy bar sure was tasty!

It all sounds good. You could look for a microwave apple crisp recipe, and just make individual ones for you and hubby, no leftovers, and pretty healthy.

@1creekgirl It's a marinade that includes mayonnaise, soy sauce, salt, pepper and sugar. It's sooooo yummy!

How does he make the mayo sauce? I make a salad dressing with mayo, red vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper that my family loves even though it's so simple to make.

Housework is always Uhg! You did well with your weight loss. I haven't heard of those candy bars. My Saturday was brunch with the ladies from church. It was a good morning.

@1creekgirl Great on the weight loss. No, I have never tried those candy bars. If you know how to pay tacos then you could make them whenever you want to.

She had her first physical therapy yesterday and the therapist said she thought my daughter hopefully can avoid hip surgery if this goes well. She will go three times a week for six weeks. I really appreciate you asking about her. Wish you could come over for tacos today!
