I asked Campbell what she wanted for dinner tonight and she said she wanted tacos..."but not the kind we had the other night"...Which means, hard shell tacos form a kit... :rolleyes: Hey, I can do that!


Fixins ready...I'll explain the rib rack in a minute.

When we do these inside we always have issues with the shells closing up while warming in the oven. I have a couple of rib racks that I never use so I took one and bent the rails inward to try and solve this. Worked great!

Thanks for looking and enjoy your weekend!!!
 
Nice job Don. Never seen basic tacos look so intriguing. Love that shot of the Dogwood tree. They won't grow out here but I'd give a boat load of tacos to have one. Have a nice weekend yourself. :)
 
Looks great, Don! Is that sour cream in the white bottle? Have you ever made your own? I found a vid that makes it look simple, it's on foodwishes.

Great pix, cept that last one. ;) :LOL: Great look'n back yard, too.
 
Don, I always love it that you get a beer pic in the beginning of the post! And your variety is cool, you never know what to expect!! Nice meal by the way!
 
Thanks, guys!!

Yeah, it's sour cream. I bought a six pack of those little bottles at a local restaurant supply store. I absolutely love them. Use them all the time. They have become one of my favorite "cooking tools". Never made my own sour cream...I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
