TMI of the illness sort

Shard
I am so glad that today is a day off and I'm not in until tomorrow afternoon.

Shard
Because I spent all night going back and forth to the bathroom.

Shard
Not throwing up, thankfully, but having to pee. Which is a sure sign that I have a fever these days.

Shard
Sending husband to the store after he finishes work because I forgot sweetcorn for the tacos.

La Comtesse
sweet...corn.. for tacos....

La Comtesse
i think something crashed in my language processor because I don't see how the words go together.

Shard
Look. I absolutely admit that mine are the whitest of white girl tacos.

Shard
This is how I learned to make them.

Shard
Might be a bit spicier than some white girls make them, but still.

La Comtesse
ah, ok

La Comtesse
I never learned to put corn in the tacos; we found this stuff that was corn with peppers that we put in this thing with black beans and salsa with chicken.

Shard
That does sound good

Shard
Anyway, yeah, I learned to make tacos from my mom. Who mostly used the corn as a way to make the meat go further.

Sweet corn salsa is wonderful on tacos

La Comtesse
I love a roasted garlic salsa.

Shard
Neither of which are easy to find in the UK.

La Comtesse
true.

Shard
So much of it ends up with me going, "I'm just going to have to order from that from Amazon, aren't I?"

Shard
And then it doesn't happen.

Shard
Ah. Reason number 2 for feeling like warmed over shit: Alabama are playing at home.

why would you make tacos without corn

Shard
Ⓓᴀɴ ⓈᴀʀᴛᴏʀɪꙄ
: I mean, proper tacos don't, I don't think. But you also don't put lettuce, onion, tomato, cheese, sour cream and guac on them, either.

Ⓓᴀɴ ⓈᴀʀᴛᴏʀɪꙄ
i thought tacos were generally: meat, onion, cilantro, and maybe cheese, sweetcorn or peppers


Ⓓᴀɴ ⓈᴀʀᴛᴏʀɪꙄ
sweetcorn is frequently the best part of any dish it's in

Shard
Quite probably. But, like I said, I fully admit I make white girl tacos. (I got a racist annoyed at me one time at a party by describing them that way. Because, "Why would it matter if you're white or not?" And I'm like, "No Hispanic person in the history of man would call what I make tacos."
