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.

Celebratory dinner last night for surviving tornado apocalypse.  Quick Al pastor tacos with grilled pineapples.

This is most fucking excellent. I love branzino.

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

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)

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.

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.
