Adventures with Taco Soup
July 5, 2006 – 10:13 amI like to try new recipes. Especially when I am hungry I like to try new things. This looked like it would fit into my new strategy really well. It is called TACO SOUP. I had read this post some time ago and I was really excited to see such an easy recipe. I bought all the stuff and stored it away for an easy quick meal to try out.
Then I couldn’t remeber who wrote about the recipe. After searching on bloglines for about three seconds I found it.
Then I get all my meat together.
Next I get all the cans out and discovered my first block…….
No CAN OPENER.
I have lived in my house for two weeks cooking and preping food and have yet to open a can!! Amazing.
Ring! Ring!
Band: Hello
Me: I don’t have a can opener. Can you pick one up on your way home?
Band: Oh sure. I can’t believe we don’t have a can opener.
Me: I know but now I need one bad.
Ten minutes goes by…..
I can’t handle it. I break into the tool drawer. Look what I found!! A CAN OPENER!!
Then I realize I can only make this shape with this can opener……
No BUENO
Thanks Leatherman multi-tool.
Don’t worry I checked for any shrapnel before I served it to my wee ones.
The taco soup was wonderful. So good infact I am having it for lunch tomorrow. So good it mad Thing 1 say and I quote "umm umm Mummies!" Thanks to this Blogger.
Ring! Ring!
Band: Hello.
Me: Never mind about the can opener. I got it.
Don’t mess with me when I am hungry!! LOL

I have done this style of can opening before also in a pinch. Whatever works. I hate to wait!

This is why I love your blog. It always makes me laugh.
Can we say YUMMY!!! I made the same recipe…cept I wasn’t as *desperate* in the can opening dept.
BTW, it is yummy with black beans too (we were out of kidney).

Excellent use of illustrations… we’ve all opened cans that way before.
I hope it was very good soup.

From a constant mover…I know EXACTLY how you feel. This would be why I have a collection of 8 can openers… each time we move, I haven’t unpacked enough yet, so I just buy another one. When I finally get to the said collection, I just add it.
The upside?? I have 5 kids who like to help in the kitchen. No more pesky fights over who’s turn is it to use the canopener. Not that this has happend so often…but there has to be an upside right?!
Anyway—first time over here… linked through Smart Mama’s blog.
Good stuff.
