I decided to be a real Mexican and make tacos for dinner today. As I was standing there frying the tortillas I remembered...this is why I never make tacos!! It takes too dang long to fry tortillas for a family as big as mine with appetites as big as Texas!! What you see below is only a fraction of the tortillas I make when having tacos for dinner. I'm not sure how many this is but I made 26 total.
Of course, the whole time I was cooking everyone was frequenting the kitchen looking oh so hungry and malnourished!! Jarom couldn't wait any longer so he decided to gnaw on his fork..
I am a firm believer in eating as a family so everyone waits until all of the tortillas are done and then I serve them. Once I serve them, they are free to eat to their hearts content...
And boy were they content!! They ate...
and ate...
and ate!!!
Til they just couldn't do it any more!!!
Then I remembered...this is why I do it...because it is so rewarding watching my beautiful family enjoy the fruits of my labor...that's truly what makes me happy!

The tacos looked yummy Julie and your family looked happy. I am sure they are grateful everyday for your labors of love.
K...I know this sounds funny, but I don't know how to make taco's. Do you have a recipe that you would like to share with me por favor????!!!
I make those a lot, we use shredded chicken or even leftover turkey - good way to pass it off after thanksgiving.
Yummy!!!! And no one asked if Grandma was here?
I love those kind of tacos. I fried up some this week and realize they taste so much better......but your house smells like a taco stand and it takes forever.
But we inhaled everything and my kids made it a point to tell me hoe GOOD it was!!!!!
