National JACKFRUIT Taco Day

|

During a quick trip to ‘Rado last weekend my husband and I finally got to try a restaurant my Fort Collins’ friends have been telling us about and were dying to try called Tasty Harmony– where they made me the delicious taco below-
It’s a Jack Fruit* taco and it kept making me go, “no seriously, honey, you have to try this.”  It was so good and I loved the Jackfruit, I honestly thought it was chicken when I first saw it. 
*Jackfruit (above)» A huge fruit that grows in Southeast Asia. The bulk of the fruit is starchy with a slight artichoke flavor and when cooked has a meaty texture.

National Taco Day is in FORTY EIGHT DAYS!  Better get started on that mini sombrero.

It’s a Family Affair

|

In other National Taco Day related news, my Sister and her family had a taco extravaganza yesterday.

Starting with my brother-in-law placing 3rd in the hot sauce competition with his aptly named hot sauce:

And followed closely by Sister *almost* finishing second in the taco eating contest.  She said ghost peppers really are wicked hot.

And then on to the main event!  
For the kid’s taco eating contest Matador made special 4″ mini tacos!!  Oh man.  Here she is shovin’ it in and wearing her special ‘I love tacos’ shirt we ordered her from Apericots on Etsy.

She loves it!

She didn’t technically win but she told Sister she won “cause she finished her whole taco.”  So proud of her!

National Taco Day is in 59 days!!

78 days and counting…

|

Where is my head?!?  I nearly forgot to update the countdown.

Can you imagine what would happen if the countdown wasn’t updated?

I don’t even want to think about it.

Anywho- here is your taco themed Etsy item of the day:
Organic Baby Hat Taco Thoughts hand screen printed dijon yellow with brown ink
A baby hat with a taco thought bubble on it…that’s obviously what most babies are thinking.  The good ones anyway.  You can buy it here from a seller called LEFTright in Michigan. 

We’re almost there!
