Taco Tuesday!

I finally bought a membership to Thoughtful Foods, the organic foods co-op on campus, after mulling it over since I started uni last year. I'm pretty excited about it. They have all sorts of bulk dried goods and other treats like bulk maple syrup from CANADA!!! While I was there, I picked up some tamari almonds for snacking and some adzuki beans that I'm going to try cooking tomorrow (I've always used canned beans and have never tried cooking them from scratch).

The tradition in our house is that Tuesdays is Taco Tuesday. Usually we have soft tacos with wholewheat wraps, but the last time we went grocery shopping Gus wanted to try out the hard tacos for a change. The mix:

  • refried beans
  • mince beef
  • avocado
  • red pepper
  • green onion
  • shredded lettuce

mmmmm. I also had a cup of ice cream with a Arnott's chocolate bear (Arnott's have the market cornered on crackers and cookies in Australia. Luckily they make some really yummy things, so I can't complain). No picture of the ice cream because of the guilt!

OK - if anyone out there is following my Kath challenge week, be sure to check tomorrow evening's post for a surprise!!!

Bulk maple syrup sounds dangerous. Did you see Super Troopers? Remember the maple syrup chugging scene at the diner?

Hi Michelle, I'm just hoping for some sponsorship, I'm thinking free samples from Arnott's or Cadbury would be pretty sweet.

Neil: I've never seen Super Troopers, but how can maple syrup in any form be dangerous???
