Days 7, 8, and 9

Lots of pictures!

Saturday: Taco Party at Rojo Mexican Grill.  I had the Carne Asada tacos.  That steak was SO good.  Their taco plates come with 3 little tiny tacos.  Derek ordered the fish tacos.  We swapped one.  I liked my steak ones best of all. 

Their side dishes are pretty rad, too

It wasn't just Derek and I taco partying.  We went out with the whole gang! 

Lookit how much those guys love tacos!

Sunday was a pretty fun day for us all as well.  In the morning, Josh made us breakfast at Damons house and we watched the Paris Roubaix on TV (Go, Tom Boonen!)

Then, for dinner, it was over to Josh and Aleisha's for Easter dinner.  They sure do keep us fed over there at Josh and Aleisha's house!  Grilled ham (who knew!?), loaded mashed potatoes,  green bean casserole, salad, and apple filled dessert tacos.

Acutally, the tacos ended up being sort of a group effort.  All of our moms would have been proud of the sharing and teamwork.  I like to think all of our moms would also be proud of the amount of butter that went into these bad boys.

We had a great time with our little friends.  I was sad to see the weekend end.

Tonight, Monday, April 9th, I made us Chicken Goat Cheese tacos.  They are one of my favorites from last year (although apparently Facebook hates them, because it refused to post pictures of them twice.)  The link to the recipe is here.  We had them on flour tortillas because homemade corn tortillas are way more work than premade flour ones.  They're a little spicy, a little creamy, super easy to make, and are full of flavor.  Go make some.

Ok, so now something has been bothering me, and I was hoping to talk to you guys about it.

There's this guy on Twitter that is using the 30 Days of Tacos name.
That doesn't really bother me.  He's doing a good job tweeting about tacos.
What bothers me is that I feel like he's misrepresenting his involvement in it's inception, by which I mean he called himself a "Co-inventor" because he joined in last year.

Here's the thing:
I understand that in the grand scheme of things, this isn't a big deal.  I do.  But we're not just talking about tacos.
We're talking about ideas.
Ideas that Derek had.  Ideas that I had. 
Ideas that we had that this guy is trying to claim as his own.

Not cool, bro.

Look, I don't want this to be a whole thing.  I'd love it if we could all just post some pictures of some tacos on the internet, give each other cyber-high-fives about all our great taco experiences, and share information about taco joints in the 'hood.  I can't, however, love seeing someone else claim my project as his own. 

He's into 30DOT, and that's great.  Really great.  Like, super extra great.  I just wish he'd stop pretending he thought of it.





Ok, team, let's get out there and TACO!
