As much as I suck at planning events, I still love trying to plan them and coming up with new fun things to do. I also prefer for these things to be planned in advance, because I’m a crazy psycho scheduler (different from planning, because it only requires me to organize myself) and I like to get my social ducks in a row.
This is the reason I’m so excited for the monthly DC blogger/blog reader/Twitter meet-ups. Every third Wednesday. Mark your calendars.
In a similar manner, another group of friends and I have recently decided to have monthly get-togethers of our own. It all started with Taco Night.
I have a funny story about tacos, but I’m actually planning to start a new story-telling thing next week, so I’ll save it. Plus, it’s kind of gross and wouldn’t fit in here.
Anyways, my friend Unmani hosted taco night and it was awesome. I’d had a terrible day, so I was very happy for friends, grub and Corona.
Corona Light, because I’m ballooning at a pretty steady pace these days. I arrived early and assisted with the meat preparation. Unmani had never cooked with beef before, so I stepped up to do the dirty work.
She added all the spices, and it turned out great. Everyone chipped in to help, so dinner was ready in no time.
I made a giant taco salad instead of using any shells. I like to think this allowed for more cheese and sour cream.
The food was great, but it was also fun just to hang out. There were even kids there, and I kind of liked them. This is a big deal folks.
Kids that plank are pretty cool. The boy was hilarious and a total flirt, and the baby was adorable. I kept my distance for the most part, but maybe this is the start of a less child-fearing life.
What do you like on your tacos/taco salad? I don’t think there’s anything I don’t like. Beans, salsa, sour cream, guac, cheese, tomatoes, olives, peppers… you name it, I’ll put it on!
Ahahaha planking! My sister posted a pic of her boyfriend and his friends all planking on a pirate ship plaything in OCMD. Kids these days!
I’m kind of plain when it comes to tacos. I like meat, cheese, and lettuce. I need to be more adventurous! Glad you had a good taco night, but really, can taco night ever go wrong?
I’ll forgive you for planking.
I like my tacos with a little lettuce, cheese and sour cream. I’m a simple gal!
I didn’t plank! The childrens did.
I add as many toppings as I can! I love tacos! I’m jealous! But I get to drink lots of wine in 2 hours so it’s not so bad. LOL!
I love hanging out with people who have kids. Does that make me weird?
Also, now I really badly want tacos. They may be the best thing ever.
I’m plain with tacos – soft shell, sour cream, beef, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese. Hm I haven’t had a taco in way too long.
I’m a type-A planner/scheduler too. I like having a nice packed schedule or I don’t know what to do with myself!
Fun!
You could totally load up my taco salad to hearts content – with everything! Except, well, beef or chicken haha
i like it all when it comes to a taco / taco salad! not alot of cheese though – but load up the salsa, guac and sour cream (plain yogurt?
) please! black olives are a really fun addition too. have a great Saturday!
I like olives on mine!!!!! And cheese of course. And LOTS of sour cream.
We make what we call hay stacks. You just layer:
Cooked Rice
Taco Beef (with seasoning or whatever)
Cheese (gets melty from the rice and beef)
Chopped Tomatoes
Black Olives
Salsa
Sour Cream
etc..
So, so, so good!
