Yeah, yeah, I know. Except I’m lazy, so Ortega taco sauce from a jar. Medium or Hot, whatever is on the shelf, you can’t be picky when shopping during a pandemic.
I don’t know how our moms cooked all those meals from scratch. I mean, it’s a lot of work. If you enjoy it and are good at it, kudos, but it really is a lot of work. If I could cook while doing something else like programming radios or talking to customers, that would be great, but whenever I try it ends badly. You’d think I’d have lots of time on my hands now since I dare not turn on the TV, but somehow I’m not swimming in free time.

I’m not a good cook plus I’m lazy. And if I didn’t open enough windows, the house smelled like fajitas for a week. One time I tried poaching chicken breasts and then turning them into pulled chicken with 2 forks, based on some recipe. Again, too much like work. For ground beef tacos, I’ve found you can cook up the ground beef, drain off the fat, put it in a gallon ziplock bag and toss it in the freezer. When it is just starting to freeze, take it out and massage the bag a little. You end up with a bag of cooked ground beef that is the consistency of granola. Easy to cook with, you can take out what you need and put the rest back in the freezer. I also recently acquired a cheap digital kitchen scale, how I lived all these years without one I don’t know, I think it was like $20 on Amazon. Stores sell stuff like meat on the assumption everybody has either 4 or 12 people in their house. If you are cooking for 2, it’s really easy to overeat or else have more leftovers than you can eat. Ground beef comes in packages of 1.3 pounds or “family packs”. I should make half a package into cheeseburgers and cook up the rest to freeze for tacos. But my son and I end up eating the whole package as burgers, and then wonder why we’re gaining weight. I have come to love the little “slider” buns though. You don’t have to put tiny burgers on them, they’re fine for quarter pounders. Also good for BBQ beef sandwiches and fish sandwiches. And nobody will every ask “where’s the beef?” From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com <mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> > On Behalf Of Jaime Solorza Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2020 8:22 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com <mailto:af@af.afmug.com> > Subject: [AFMUG] OT: Yum Ground beef tacos with all the fixings . -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
