Don't cry over vanilla tacos

Yep. Vanilla tacos. You heard me right, folks.

So, when I got home from work on Monday night, Clint was already preparing the taco meat for dinner. How great of a husband is he!? He's either great, or has experience the wrath of Hungry Laura far too many times throughout our relationship/marriage. I prefer to think he is great. He was ALSO preparing chocolate chip cookies!!!

I KNOW!!!

I was soooooo excited! He decided that he needed more cookies to put in his lunch, since our last batch was gone, and he wanted to make some after dinner. Yay for us!

So I'm there, talking about my crazy day and my crazy job (which probably wasn't so crazy that day, because we are closed on Mondays and I don't really see anyone those days...but I bet it was still crazy. That place is always crazy.) and he is chiming in left and right about HIS day and HIS job and we're having a great conversation. It was lovely.

Until we both stop, mid-sentence, and realize that while compiling the ingredients for chocolate chip cookies into a mixing bowl, he had gotten side-tracked on the taco meat. And he had JUST poured the teaspoon of vanilla into the taco meat. The teaspoon was still in his hand, lingering over the pan. Oops! We quickly removed the meat that sustained the most damage, and figured the rest of it wouldn't be so bad. We were wrong. No amount of taco seasoning could cover that stuff up! It was TERRIBLE! Vanilla flavored tacos are one kind of taco we can both agree that we do NOT like. Which is rare.

And in our excitement to have taco leftovers for nachos the next night, we totally forgot about the vanilla taco meat and added it to our delicious nachos. And then the lovely scent of vanilla filled the house. Crap.

...Vanilla nachos are ALSO something that I would not recommend.
