Lest you think we are the ugly Americans trying to recreate little America right here in South Africa (and you'd have plenty of reasons to think so given the recent posts about SodaStream and Wii), we are trying to find a South African meal to replace Friday night tacos. We had hoped to do something with boerevors - the famous South African sausage - but the kids haven't developed a taste for it yet. The search continues.

The Great Taco Story Continues
Good News -all Ortega products 75% off at Woolies. Bad news - this is because they are discontinuing them. They apparently weren't selling well - didn't they know we'd moved to town and are taco addicts? I snatched up as much as I could. Quince is going to have to up her spice tolerance as they only had Chipotle and Spice seasoning packets left. Sadly, Woolies does not sell the shells so we will have to continue to fork over the equivalent of $5.00/box at Pic N Pay for an inferior brand that are small and don't cook up well.

In Switzerland I just made my own corn tortillas. One bag of corn meal goes a long way. Would the kids accept the home made kind or do they need the crispy store brands?
ReplyDeleteYes, that has been suggested. But it seems like way too much work - and the kids (and I) really love the crispy kind!
ReplyDeleteSo shall I send money and tacos???
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, send money and tacos. And as it turns out bakers chocolate.
ReplyDeleteIf I bring the soft corn kind (which are more compact and won't break in transit) in December, you can toast them in the oven to make them the crispy kind. Whaddya think?
