Last night was a bit trying. After work, Jason and I had to drive out to Anaheim to pick up his new (to us) car. By the time we actually got around to thinking about dinner, it was getting pretty late.

We finally settled on something Caitlin’s been requesting for days.

Almost all of us eat them a different way.

For me: whole grill and spread only

Jason: meat, cheese and bun

Caitlin: meat, cheese and bun

Christian: sauce only

Jessalyn: cheese and spread only

We even had a friend of Caitlin’s here and she had lettuce and spread only.

I drove over there and ordered 6 burgers and 3 orders of fries.

One of these nights I’m going actually cook dinner. Something that’s not completely last second and thrown together. Maybe tonight’s that night. If so, a trip to Fresh and Easy is in order.

The only problem I’m having with this project is remembering to actually take a picture before I eat dinner. Such was the case last night.

My girlfriend Christie made dinner and so I’m not the one that did the cooking. The main dish was tacos de carnitas. That would be shredded pork tacos. After I ate my dinner, I realized I forgot to get a picture of my tacos before eating it all up. So I bring you a picture of the leftover meat in the pan.

The meat was tasty and the only thing I put on my taco besides the carnitas was chopped onion and cilantro.

Saturday saw lots of running around car shopping. I started off going with Jason, but by mid day when it was starting to look like we may never find a car, Jason bribed his brother into helping him out. I’m glad he did because I know nothing about cars, therefore my answer to, “What do you think” would always be based on how the car physically looks.

Anyhow, part of the deal was feeding my brother-in-law dinner. When asked what he wanted, he threw out “Tacos.” And so that’s what we had.

I know it may not be the most appetizing picture, but they were tasty nonetheless.

Tacos are a team effort around here. It’s my job to prepare the meat and any other fillings we’ll be having (which is usually only cheese and sour cream) and it’s Jason’s job to fry them up. Yes, we go the super healthful route by sticking them in hot oil!

Jason didn’t cook these as much as I usually prefer. I like them a bit browner and crispier, but he was pretty wiped out by the time we got around to making dinner. It as already 8:30 at that point, so I’m just grateful he helped out at all.
