I have a very simple taco salad dish that we eat both hot and cold. We usually make it a hot meal first, and then have it cold for leftovers. It has layers starting with refried beans (pinto or black), lettuce, browned ground seasoned turkey (simple taco seasoning), and shredded cheese. Steve goes "au naturale" and I like mine with lots of chunky salsa and seasoned rice vinegar. Steve often forgoes the lettuce for leftovers and just makes a burrito. Salsa is a staple in our house. We are rarely without tortillas either- though I grew up calling them burrito skins.<br><br>We cooked a fabulous rib eye roast on the rotisserie last weekend. We also had horseradish (another staple) mashed potatoes and fresh green beans. We just finished up the leftovers last night. Yum! Your menu entries are inspiring me to branch out a bit and get out of the regular routine. <br><br>TTFN<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098209577865673818.post-41249849785377600432008-02-17T15:42:00.000-08:002008-02-17T15:42:00.000-08:00i am really not the type to spoil a book for someo...i am really not the type to spoil a book for someone else so no worries there.<br>I have not had taco salad in ages...i can not process lettuce so i guess it is a no no.

I'm glad you're enjoying finding new recipes, though. It's fun to try new things, isn't it? I don't get TOO crazy, because I know what both of us like and more importantly, dislike. But if I see something that I think will appeal to both of our tastes, I love to give it a try.<br><br>Perhaps we can start a "mini-book club" here to discuss Duma Key! Oh, maybe not, because Ken reads this often, and I don't want to spoil it for him, or anyone else, for that matter.<br><br>Love to Steve, and I hope he's feeling better!<br><br>{{Hugs}}<br>BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098209577865673818.post-23697784588947718222008-02-17T15:52:00.000-08:002008-02-17T15:52:00.000-08:00Lisa, you don't have to put lettuce on a taco sala...Lisa, you don't have to put lettuce on a taco salad! If there's something you don't like in a recipe, leave it out, by all means...I do it all the time. And you're right...we do tend to eat some interesting things! Not so much at home, but when we're on vacation, it's pretty much anything goes. I first ate raw oysters in New Orleans, and sushi in San Francisco. I don't serve much of that at home, though. :)<br><br>And get thee to Nick at Nite or TV Land, woman! You've never watched "The Dick Van Dyke Show?" ACK! There will come a day when you're flipping channels, and you'll come across an episode, and you'll stop and watch it, and then you'll have to drop me an email and tell me what you think. It's a classic!<br><br>Hugs!<br>BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098209577865673818.post-35921781627082220592008-02-17T17:07:00.000-08:002008-02-17T17:07:00.000-08:00KennyPig says Taco salad good :o)KennyPig says Taco salad good :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098209577865673818.post-27275229057650258722008-02-17T21:22:00.000-08:002008-02-17T21:22:00.000-08:00Who is this Dr. Will person?

That is why they called it a comedy show. I prefer to think that I love shows like this cause they are fun and they make me laugh. I really can't see that there would be any hidden psychological meanings in any of it. Just pure entertainment and fun at face value. I could also add Lucy and Carol Burnett to this list. What fun those shows were. There is not nearly enough laughter in our lives these days and I do not mean polite little "tee hees". I mean gut splitting belly laughter, laughing till there are tears in the eyes. What a gift.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9098209577865673818.post-54885744963188672712008-02-19T16:17:00.000-08:002008-02-19T16:17:00.000-08:00Beth who wrote "The Sheltering Sky"?

It was a disturbing read, but I really enjoyed it. My fellow book clubbers are not as enthusiastic!<br><br>BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
