Breakfast Taco
I have been waiting for this day for several months, and finally today I am going to have El Cachorro tacos again.
While I was away and I would think of tacos, these would be the tacos I would see and taste in my mind. Two corn tortillas, soft to the point of breaking apart, wrapped around a little spoonful of delicious goodness, served up on a plastic plate that has been covered with a plastic bag for easy clean-up. Putting some onions from the chiles en escabeche on it, a little cabbage, possibly a drizzle of salsa habanera...it is like Mexico in your mouth.
Only the thought of these and my tea is keeping me warm this morning while I wait for the water heater to get back up to speed. The wind, infrequent but forceful when it comes, blew out the pilot light overnight. Luckily, Shawn took his shower when a little of the warm water was still remaining. Outside the rising sun is getting us back to our regular operational temperatures, but at the moment, the temperature is skulking around somewhere in the 40s. I am trying to time my shower to get the maximum hot water and still be ready when Charles arrives to pick me up.
Charles still takes me to run errands, when he is not too busy with his new business. He installs porous concrete, and is often traveling all over the country for work. Today we will go stock up on all the things I need to get the kitchen pantry back in operation. I will probably buy a new mop too. The one I have had for the past four years has earned a peaceful retirement.
But first, tacos.
