If you don't mind eating off TV trays in our living room, we've got you covered.<BR/><BR/>You picked a good meal to try out on Papa. It is one of our favorite meals. We've had a few people make these and they really like it - one of our blog readers even made some for her meat eating roommate and he decided these were tasty and that meat wasn't necessary.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps just don't tell him there isn't meat in it ahead of time... ;-)Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-64329633206929210932008-08-12T15:00:00.000-05:002008-08-12T15:00:00.000-05:00Hi Jennifer,I believe you really need to come cook...Hi Jennifer,<BR/>I believe you really need to come cook a meal for your Nana here.

I really liked how everything was simple to cook simultaneously and keep hot- I always have trouble with timing. I also thought it lent itself well to a variety of fixings- depending on whats lingering in the pantry or veg drawer.

Maybe next time, I'll add cucumber and really mix it up.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Alice - :-( Like I said, jalapenos are EASY to grow in a container, if you want to and need help, just email me if you have any questions.<BR/><BR/>I have to be honest, I didn't know how to approach your 'how to eat a taco' question at first. I couldn't believe it possible that someone has NEVER had a taco. Anyways, yes, some of the stuff will fall out. If it's a hard taco I've found the best way to do it is to hold the taco upright and angle my head as I eat it. Soft tacos, just roll 'em up and eat them like a burrito.<BR/><BR/>Chocolate Covered - :-) I have many more ideas where this came from.<BR/><BR/>Chickpea - Can you believe that before I was a vegetarian, I didn't like olives? They are awesome!<BR/><BR/>Bianca - Lentils and potatoes were meant for each other.<BR/><BR/>Catherine - Thanks so much.

I mean... physically? don't they break? because I'm thinking they're sort of crispy, and don't see how to eat a taco without breaking it!
