Tuesday Things.
1. Um did you see that Whole Foods is coming out with a lower-priced store? Please come near me because the amount of money I can drop in the grocery store is disgusting.
2. I know I can’t craft to save my life, but I want to make this vertical herb garden. It still seems like a bunch of work, soooo maybe I’ll just stick with my pots.
3. What was the best taco you had last week? I NEED TO KNOW.
4. Okay. I just can’t do the birkenstock thing. I think they are so hideous. I would rather go barefoot. BUT. I have zero sense of style (unless glitter trash neon late 90s counts) so what I think means nothing. You?
5. My friend Tessa has come out with the best book ever – this ultimate cookie handbook. It tells you why your cookies are flat or fat or look different every time and how to make them a certain way… it’s pretty much GOLD. Everything you want to know about chocolate chip cookies? It’s there. Last Saturday night we made the ultimate chocolate chip cookies annnnnnnnd ate them all by Sunday night.
6. Who else is having the worst allergies of the century? I basically want to rip my head off.
7. OMG MAD MEN. For some reason this week’s episode GUTTED me. I wish I could say more. Have you seen this theory that the whole series is based on DB Cooper? After reading it last week I definitely thought it could be true. But due to the circumstances of this last episode, I can’t imagine it would work. Unless it just makes Don be a bigger piece of crap that he already is. But I still love him. Whyyyy? Like why do we fall in love with jerks like Don, Tony Soprano and Big?!
8. Pitch perfect music video. I can’t even wait.
9. I may just be a weee bit excited that it’s hot dog season. And I might have smothered one in guac this past weekend. LIFE.

Um, your turkey taco nachos were the bomb last week!
Birkenstocks are ugly, agreed.
Allergies are kickin here in Michigan, feeling your pain.
Birkenstocks are to summer what Uggs are to winter – totally ugly, but once you wear then you make a deal with yourself that it is cool to wear clouds of comfort cause they feel that good!
Hot dog!! Hot dog!!! Hot dog!!! I too have been getting the Hot Dog Itch!!! A big, fat, Polish dog, caramelized onions, sweet pickle relish, mustard and a big whoop of sauerkraut on the top! Yes please!!
I am with you on Birks. They make me gag unless I look away quickly.
I really don’t see how this week’s Mad Men gets us any closer to a finale (besides wrapping up 1 character). I’ve been saying this for weeks, but I really need a neatly packaged ending for my soul.
OMG! I can’t wait for Pitch Perfect. I love your Tuesday Things post.
Honestly, can I just say that I feel like you’re the most genuine blogger I follow? I just love you! :)
Have a great evening!

Most recent taco? Oh, YES! We do this one with corn tortillas (not tostadas) about 2 or 3 times a month (it makes a lot and is super delish left over). I use 1/2 green & 1/2 red Herdez salsa (plus a tablespoon of chipotles in adobo sometimes), but if you can find Herdez Taquera salsa – DO IT! I also don’t do the jalapenos, but I keep a full size batch of the Smoked Paprika sauce on hand at all times (literally – it’s that good). Since we buy chix at Costco I throw in one bag of skinless/boneless breasts and one of skinless/boneless thighs – I think that’s about 2 nice size breasts & 6 thighs? I make my tacos with some chix, some pan sauce (that’s where all the salt is), some smoked paprika sauce & a drizzle of crema. I fall in love every. single. time. :) http://www.foodiewithfamily.com/carnitas-style-chicken-tostadas/
You are literally discussing my life and struggles for the past 4 months.
Okay. The birks.. I knowwww I was totally right there with you. And then I moved to Australia and sprained my ankle on the 4th day because I was wearing cute but not so practical whatsoever sandals. So I drudgingly dragged myself into a Birk store, spent $80 on ugly sandals and was so embarrassed (mind you my hippie mother couldn’t have been more thrilled).
I went to Bondi Beach, which is the IT place; think hot, sexy people everywhere, and everyone is just so cool. Low and behold, Birkenstocks are EVERYWHERE!! They are the coolest thing you can wear out here. Don’t ask me why but it just works down unda.
Also I thought I escaped allergies moving here…. They’re worse. Ugh.
And I rented pitch perfect on iTunes the other night even though I’ve seen it three million times, just to get excited for the premiere. No shame!
hahaha birks. not the cutest, but seriously the most comfortable. also, can i just say how upset i am with nashville? i actually started watching bc you raved, but i feel like they try to throw too much into every episode now?! wth?!
Best taco was definitely a fried cauliflower taco! I can’t stop thinking about it, it was amazing!
BTW, those brownies look so delicious!
Best Taco – Corn tortilla, chorizo, egg, pickled onions. YUM.
