All-Dairy June

Wow, there's a lot of cheese in Texas.

This is my dinner: cheese enchilada, taco, refried beans, rice and a guacamole salad from Chacho's.  The foil-wrapped thing at the top right is fresh tortillas, which show up with a lot of Mexican entrees around here.  Like bread at an Italian restaurant.  At lunch last week, I invented the Infinity Taco: a taco where half the stuff falls out, so you use a tortilla to make another taco from the leftovers, and half the stuff falls out of that one, so you use a tortilla...and so on.  The tortillas are AMAZING.

This is John's dinner from Chacho's.  There's stuff under the cheese, I swear.  Look how it's dripping off the plate!  No Dairy January is going to be one hell of a challenge next year.

Below is a different kind of cheese: the mascots from the San Antonio Missions game we went to on my first full day in Texas.  The one on the left is the Ballapeno, a large pepper wearing a Missions jersey. On the right is the Puffy Taco, who represents Henry's Puffy Tacos, which is a restaurant very close to our house.  When we went there back at Thanksgiving, John bought me a puffy taco doll to add to my collection of plush food.  At the ball game last week, I got a Ballapeno doll for the same reason.  I don't know why I like stuffed food.  It makes me laugh.
