    Well tonight’s taco dinner was absolutely gorgeous! Definitely a keeper recipe. Just goes to show when you put off making something it often turns out to be a great one. I made two portions so the other one will become a weekend lunch. I’ve found the same with books I’ve put off reading, they often turn out to be brilliant.
