My trick was to take over all the cooking on taco night and switch us to soft tacos.

Hence my qualification of "some kind of" taco. I never minded the Old El Paso hard-shell breakage, but I can see how it could be traumatic for some.

Of course, if I could get over my father putting walnuts and olives into the meat, I guess I could deal with anything.

I prefer burritos to tacos, generally.

Now I want to have taco night at home, but it's not nearly as much fun alone. Hmph.

Tacos seemed like so much work to me as a kid. Plus the hard shell would break while I was biting it and it'd spill its innards all over or else I'd get taco stuff all over my face.

That's why the kids like the soft tortillas (which you can get in Taco kits, now). I like the crunchy.

Do they dislike tomatoes? I remember eating buttered noodles as spaghetti for a while. And picking the tomato-bits out of tacos.

Chris, who is the most anti-spaghetti sauce, loves tomatoes, and would eat raw ones, 'til he got sick, if he had his way. He likes pizza, and when he was a toddler he wouldn't eat spaghetti without sauce, but then he noticed his brother and sister eating it plain, and decided he hated sauce.

Ben loved raw tomatoes 'til he ate a bad one (about 4 or 5 years ago now, probably). He liked sauce until he was about 3 (so 7 years ago) and then hated all things he felt were too "wet". He outgrew most of that, but still prefers his spaghetti unsauced. Oddly enough, if we have ravioli, he'll have sauce, sometimes.

Julia is way less finicky than either boy, bless her.

So who here had Taco Tuesday?

We did at school, and the nearest Taco Bell advertised it too.

I prefer burritos to tacos, generally.

As all right-thinking people do. The burrito is practically perfect in every way. Even Taco Bell can't mess it up, and these are the folks who invented the chalupa.

Can we just get mini-icons for our handles that declares "Het", "Not-So-Het", "No-Way-Am-I-Het", and "You-Got-The-Time, I-Got-The Fun?"

We do the soft tacos too, but to no avail. The kids briefly liked spaghetti without sauce, but Emaryn has decided that spaghetti is bad in all forms and Leif is more flexible but he tends to follow the six-year old wisdom.

The Taco Bell by my old house had two-for-one tacos on Tuesday, which rocked. I could get two tacos and a side of chips for like $3. MMMMM. God I love Taco Bell. It's so nasty.

I prefer burritos to tacos, generally.

Enchiladas rule, baby (though not hand-y food): beef with red, chicken with green, and cheese & bean with mole'. Teh yum!
