Shit I've Cooked Lately

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

It's that time again for some dewberries.  It's been 2 days and I got 2 gallons.  Found this Siamese twinberry as a bonus.  Made a double strawberry short cake with berries to share with the wife this evening.  Chicka chicka bow wow.

Korean beef bowl situation please. 

[956 Worldwide 34702]

Sticky rum glazed shrimp, grilled corn, charred salsa. 
 

All good but honestly the salsa was the best part. I added two chipotles in adobo that didn’t get the grill treatment. 
 

[Mo Horn 8828]

Not me tonight. When it comes to Mexican I stay in my lane and let Mrs Mo and her heritage take the lead. Chicken mole, beans and rice. So good.

This was enough for a rep, or more.

There are few things better than onions in a cast iron.

My first time. Will be a buy on sight moving forward. Really simple prep once the fish monger does his thing. 

[Brisketexan 105066]

I’ve seen packages of them prepped and ready to go at Costco. Love them, may give it a whirl.

Street tacos 

[South Austin 52452]

Stupid question amnesty:  What makes them “street” tacos?

[CoachTex 2623]

Originally sold from food carts on the street in Mexico I believe. 

[South Austin 52452]

I mean, is there something about the ingredients or preparation that makes them “street” tacos? Because to my eye, that looks like just a plain ol’ damn fine taco.

They’re tacos who got their education from the school of hard knocks. They’re a bit rough around the edges. Most have questionable tattoos, and have made some other poor life decisions. But they’re gotdamn delicious.

When I see street tacos on a menu or see the prepackaged tortillas at the store, the "street" taco tortillas are always small as hell. I just know if I order that shit in a restaurant, imma need like 6-8 of those things to make a meal out of it.

I'm team regular size taco (no pun intended)

Greek haggis/ponce. I love every culture’s version of “let’s make these innards tasty.” And I approve.

You can have my portion.

Kokoretsi, lamb, plate. Killed it.

My mom used to do this every year… so damn good! One year the dog dragged the carcus through the house because we got lazy and left it out…

Street tacos generally mean you pay more for smaller portions of the same shit in regular tacos. Makes hipsters think they’re cool. I don’t think they call tacos sold in street and market stalls in Guadalajara “street tacos”.

It’s a marketing term. Like thinking Torchys is really hip. Uhh it’s just a corporate owned chain restaurant like fucking Dickeys.

[Anastasis 23461]

I like a plate full of a lot of small tacos.

In Matamoros and other border towns the street tacos are definitely what everyone considers “street tacos” and have been for a long time.  Now if what they serve in them is beef always is a different question.  Not all places charge the same price as big tacos, plenty hole in the wall Mexican joints or food trucks sell them much cheaper.
