You may remember that one of my New Years resolutions was to learn one recipe a month. But I've been stuck in a rut of backed fish, hapburger helper and thai peanut noodles.
So I've been trying lately.
So the other day, I wanted to make a taco bar. Dave loves tacos. So I went to the grocery store, got some taco mix and the rest of the fixings. I knew I was only cooking for two, so I kept my portions of everything small. Got a pound of ground beef, grabbed a couple tomatoes, picked out a small head of lettuce, sour cream, taco cheese, etc.
Got home, started cooking everything up, diced the tomatoes and chopped up the lettuce. The lettuce didn't really feel leafy when I was chopping it up, the whole thing was pretty tough, but I attributed it to the fact that it was so small.
So when Dave got home he was pretty happy to see the taco bar I had set up. We started constructing our tacos, and he looked at the lettuce and said, 'Oh, we're using cabbage instead of lettuce?'
Then the light came on. I had accidentally grabbed a cabbage. DUH! No wonder it was so tought to chop up! Hey, it's not like I buy lettuce on a regular basis. We got a good laugh out of that one.

Posted by: Noelle on June 5, 2004 05:51 PMOh I'm so not going there . . . *wink* . . . and I thought I was bad in the kitchen.
Hey did you ever try out any of the recipes I sent you?

Posted by: SusanG on June 5, 2004 09:41 PMHeh heh. That reminds me of a time my family was having fajitas for dinner and there was what I thought was sliced green peppers. I was like, "Ooo, green peppers!" and popped a couple of sections into my mouth, only to discover, to my horror, that they were actually jalapeņos! :O
