5 Friday Finds!!!!! Taco-Bout-It!!

Writer's picture: Mark WarrenMark Warren

What we won't talk about is the game last weekend. However what we will talk about is: The best food on planet Earth...........TACOS!! Duh!! Today, October 4th is National Taco Day!!

(In Mexico, Día del Taco (Day of the Taco) is celebrated on March 31.) Any meat can be used in a soft or hard shell. Fold a pizza and eat it like a TACO!! Breakfast tacos, dessert tacos, tacos at lunch or at dinner. These glorious and savory inventions might make my love handles grow, but hey that is why they also make gyms to work off those delicious calories. Consider National Taco Day, October 4th each year, a concentrated and intensified version of the “Taco Tuesdays!!” Come to think of it, to further salivate your appetite for the subject, get this: the phrase “Taco Tuesday” was actually trademarked across the country in 1989 by a Wyoming-based fast-food chain called Taco John’s, except in New Jersey, where the trademark had already been claimed by Gregory’s Restaurant & Bar back in 1982.

However, nobody ought to worry about the legality of what their dinner is called. On National Taco Day, we only need to grab some tortillas and stuff them with savory ingredients, from the traditional carne asada, cheese, tomato, lettuce and sour cream, to more exotic gustatory delights like fish, chorizo, beef tongue, or my favorite BRISKET to name only a few of the “meat component” alternatives. Even the word “stuff” is no accident; many believe that the word taco derives from the Spanish “ataco,” meaning “to stuff.” Therefore, as I stuff my way into tacos today I will also sprinkle in some fun with 5 Friday finds as a delightful topping to a great holiday.....


  1. If there is a particular food you would like your children to eat less, just go buy a massive box of it at Costco!!


  1. The Twins' vibe can be best explained as 'selective hearing' meets 'endless appetites' with a dash of 'I know everything' seasoning at 6 years old!!


  1. Math tests should involve more real-world problems like someone waking you up, screaming in your face with ear pain while you calculate ‘if 36-47 lbs, 4-6yo, take 1.5tsp every 6-8 hrs but do not exceed 4 in 24 hrs’ but they are 47.8lbs and who cares because you can’t find the measuring cup anyhow!!


  1. Monday we ate Hibachi where they cook it in front of you and now one twin has been walking around telling strangers we eat at restaurants frequently that burn your eyebrows off!!


  1. Making PBJ's to take for lunch this week and was bombarded with the question: Do you think bread crusts are sad that kids hate them??
