We don’t have fresh raw meat in our fridge? Who’s in charge around here?
Well, it’s that time again around here. Maybe the warm winds like Baja started mama thinking about fish tacos and corn tortillas (which she had just put in the freezer for a Tex Mex day), but the only drawback was that she had no cabbage, no honest-to-goodness hot sauce, no really good fish (it’s frozen around here still–no fish market and I’m certainly not going out there with a pole!), no Jack cheese or Cotija, the real McCoy, no sour cream, no sriracha, that fermented jalapeño and serrano chile sauce, BUT she had ONE ripe avocado and that cinched it.
Still, it’s disturbing not to have all the Mexican ingredients that mama had so readily in Los Angeles. And the shop here that carries imported things is closed. Hey, around here it’s innovate, create, and oust the irate, haha.
SO, the bottom line here is that I got some of the frozen fish before it became a taco, and I was pretty happy. Mama did it very simply in a little butter and boy, that was a treat. You see, she has been reading Jackson Galaxy‘s book and I’m supposed to have fresh raw meat just like my ancestors, but I don’t see any around this house. Sigh…
Still, fish is a dish.
Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I’m goin’ out and eat grass 🎶🎶
I think fishies are good, LouLou, I don’t mind going fishing out of a can😸Enjoy your delicious grass. Pawkisses for a Happy Day🐾😽💞
Hey, can-fishing, the best!
We don’t get fish at all! Our mom hates it and won’t make it. 🙁
Oh, maybe she needs a little cooking lesson with my mama, who can get ANYONE to eat fish. Where do you live? Mama grew p on…excuse the expression…catfish, all crispy with corn meal and dipped in a wonderful creamy sauce. Are you drooling yet?
Did someone say fish? Sounds dee-lish!
Better than knish!
Awww, Loulou – your family LOVES you and so do we!!! I don’t get any meat either but mama is going to thaw out some cooked chicken chunks after reading this. Wish you were here – I would share. And you are the ONLY one!! Maybe I’ll talk her into cooking me a steak?! Charral, from Super U. I’m drooling on the keyboard!
DROOL to you, too. STEAK? WOW…what is that? HAHA
As long as you got some fish then all is well 🙂
Yes, I’m not a hot sauce fan.
Cabbage ? Oh dear, we thought that was lettice in tacos. Hmmm. Well, sounds good no matter what ! Especially with sour cream and shredded cheese.
Yes, cabbage is used in the USA so maybe it’s a twist on lettuce. We always used lettuce so we did! Mama is not big on the cabbage thing, either. But maybe marinated would be better, softer.
Hey, fish on a plate is always a win!
Yes, you are right on. And I did get a tidbit, just no hot sauce. Sigh….
