I must have missed the meeting where we decided what the international comfort food would be. I do know that I wouldn’t have voted for tacos. No offense to the taco lovers out there, which apparently are legion, but they don’t even make my top 5 favorite Mexican foods. (I mean, have you tasted enchiladas?) As much as I want to be a card-carrying member of the “I Heart Tacos Club”, I just can’t. I see all the videos and memes that offer sage advice to feed your girl tacos but... I still don’t understand the appeal.
Plus, when exactly was this meeting
held? I don’t even remember seeing a notice for it. My schedule is pretty busy,
but I would have made time for this, if only to make sure our mascot wasn’t a fragile
shell barely holding everything together. I wonder what the final four choices were?
Did we vote on this or was it decided by the one supreme food judgerer? I have
to say, this just brings up way too many questions. (I believe it aso shows
that my mind is an odd and scary place sometimes.)
If my husband ever tried to appease
my hangry side with tacos, I’d think he was crazy. Of course, almost two
decades, he knows me better than that so I am confident that his approach would
not be the standard taco quo. My t-shirt would more than likely say “Feed me
steak and tell me I’m pretty”. Or maybe chicken pot pie. That would also be acceptable.
Runners up would include beef stroganoff, chicken marsala, and scalloped potatoes
with ham. Hey, comfort food is subjective, right? This is what comforts me. I
also have a love of homemade soups and chowders and there are half a dozen different
recipes that would come in ahead of tacos.
Oh who am I kidding? The way to my
heart isn’t savory, it’s sweet. I’ve always said that my favorite part of
dinner is dessert. It still holds true to this day. Cake and cookies, bars and
treats, and maybe even a pie, so long as it’s strawberry rhubarb. I don’t
understand why the Taco Cult beat out the Cake Cult. I’m convinced it’s solely
because they hadn’t had a spectacular dessert yet. You know the kind that makes
you want to hurry up and eat it but slow down and savor it all at the same time?
Like a decadent piece of chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Or a chocolate
chip cookie, still gooey from the oven. If I go to a potluck, my eyes are all
about checking out those sweet sweets options to know if I have to save a little
room or a lot.
We won’t even get int my rant about
why there aren’t any cupcake drive through restaurants. Can’t you just imagine
having a bad day and being able to grab half a dozen cupcake miracles without
ever having to step out of your car? Listen, I’m a problem solver by nature and
I truly believe this would solve most of my current issues Ok, that’s probably
untrue, but it would be a delicious coping mechanism, am I right?
Unfortunately, I am also the minority
in my own house regarding the taco issue. Other than my youngest son, who is
much more dessert centric like me, my husband and other offspring go gaga for
tacos. In fact, it DOES rate in my 15-year old’s top 3 foods. Probably my
husband’s top 3 as well. It’s like they don’t even know that there are masses of
much better foods out there to choose from, even though I have cooked a few
dozen of these dishes over the years. I guess there's no accounting for taste, right?
Huh, for some reason that I can’t seem
to explain, I have a crazy craving for some cake. I must bid you farewell and
go on this most righteous cake questing journey. Until we meet again my fair folks.
