Gloves | 11,791 Administrator · Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 'Tis the season... for Tacos! Edging out ahead of "fast food" by a single vote, this month we'll be making this traditional Mexican dish. This is one of my favourite meals to make at home, if you ignore that I tend to make Fajitas, not Tacos. I'm a bit of a rebel in that regard. Make some tacos, take some photos, share 'em with us here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richardhead | 2,813 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I can make anything we vote on. I get $1 per hour I work extra for store credit. I like all of these options. But I went with fast food. I wanna make a chilito from Taco Bell and a Mc Rib from McDonald’s! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,729 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I voted other, namely curry or fried rice. Either are very versatile and easy to do for beginners too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now Intro to JavaScript. The college asked if I wanna do more classes next semester, and I'm considering it. Will depend on whether I can find something closer to my existing skillset full-time in the next month or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was @Richardhead's suggestion, but my understanding is that you take something fast food, let's say a Big Mac, and make it yourself, maybe even try to improve on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are popular in a Blackstone group I’m in and would fit the bill IMO. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PII | 1,886 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Couple more ideas I'd like to throw out there for future consideration: Mushrooms - As in, do anything you like involving mushrooms in some fashion. Just Stuff It In Already - As in, make anything you like that involves stuffing something or perhaps many things inside of something else. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,791 Administrator · Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 Off to a great start with regard to being "on time", this month will be Tacos! Get cookin' and share your pics and recipes! I'll extend this one into January to account for the holidays and my lateness. @Gloves @Reed Rothchild @spacepup @Richardhead @Link @Jeevan @fcgamer @PII @SilverspoonGaming @BlackVega @Kguillemette @doner24 @Murray 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PII | 1,886 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I tried making Doner24's Smash Taco the other night. Actually, I first whipped up some Big Mac sauce in which to dip breaded chicken strips. It had easily been a 1/4 of a century and probably longer since I'd tasted Big Mac Sauce, but right away I was like: "yep tastes just like a Big Mac alright." The only thing I did different is rather than a patty I made it like a regular soft shell Taco. Made for some good quick Tacs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverspoonGaming | 332 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Tacos are hard to get right as I like my mexican food authentic because thats how I had it growing up. I never eat tacos when my wife makes them cuz I call them her white girl tacos. With that said, tacos are another easy item that I cant cook myself either.

G-type | 2,482 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I just do the white people tacos when I need to make a quick and easy meal for my kids: taco seasoning packet on some ground beef; scoop it into a crunchy shell, top with lettuce, cheese, and any hot sauces packets I have in the bowl of leftover sauce packets... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloves | 11,791 Administrator · Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 I do worse than "white people tacos" lol, I tend to call it "Taco Night", when in fact I'm making Fajitas.

There seems to be a focus on the fillings "stripped" (wikipedia) or the vegetables are cooked instead of raw (random fajitas vs tacos web search result earlier today). So... what's the difference what's the deal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
