An exchange while eating my home-made tacos tonight:
Me: I could make these more often, you know. They’re scrummy!
Debbi: “Scrummy?” Is that, like, scrumptious and yummy?
Me: Yup.
(pause)
Me: It sounds better than “yumptious”.
The taco recipe, by the way, comes from an ex-girlfriend. “Fitzy’s Special”, she called it. It’s ground beef, refried beans, browned onions, and spices, served in tortillas or taco shells. If I ever hear from my ex again, I’ll have to tell her how much Debbi loves it. (Okay, maybe that wouldn’t go over so well.)
The tacos are one of the few things I cook which I can make in 30 minutes or less. A lot of recipes I make take several hours, especially the Indian food which takes 30-60 minutes to prep, and then 2-3 hours to simmer. It’s scrummy, too, and makes several meals’ worth of food, but I pretty much have to make it on the weekends.
Gee, I oughta make some sometime soon!
