Tacos

YUM!!

In addition to not being a "change" kinda girl (see my previous post), I'm also not prone to spontenaity. Blame my New England/Puritan upbringing if you must, but I have always preferred a plan - you know where you are going and how you are going to get there. Yeah, I'm definitely a "plan" kinda girl. Stick with me, we are getting to the taco part.

A couple of weeks ago the local newspaper featured an article about a guy who spent the month of September sampling the local taco fare - 30 tacos in 30 days - how do I get that job?? But, I digress. The article was inspiration to try some of the local, off-the-beaten-track places here in Austin. And a lesson in spontenaity.

I walked in the house at about 10 this morning, all hot and sweaty from my mile walk with the neighbor. I was HUNGRY!! I had walked a mile on the treadmill and put in some time on the elliptical torture device before striking out with my neighbor for our usual mile walk around the neighborhood. Let me repeat - I was HUNGRY!! I was actually looking forward to my breakfast of cottage cheese and fruit - the same breakfast I have been eating for weeks - yes, weeks!! It's part of the "low-glycemic" plan I'm trying to follow (did you notice the "plan" word in there??)

"Let's go to Tacodeli for breakfast tacos" suggests DH - Tacodeli was one of the highly touted stops on Taco Guy's taco month. I freeze - sounds great, BUT that wasn't my PLAN... my mind starts whirling through it's checklist - I'm hot and sweaty, I need to run through the shower real quick, my hair's a mess, I look like something the cat dragged in, breakfast tacos are for the weekend, what's the glycemic load of flour tortillas, have I already had eggs this week.... DH is waiting for an answer ... I put the brakes on the checklist that is "pinballing" around my brain and realize that, while I have million stupid reasons not to jump on the taco bandwagon, I need only one reason (actually two reasons) to follow DH out to the car - I love breakfast tacos and who needs to wait for the weekend!!

Now, go have some tacos.
