I love tacos. I could eat tacos every day and never get tired of them. All varieties are good with me. Corn tortillas, flour tortillas, crispy fried tacos, taquito, even crunchy taco shells. There used to be a dive bar near where I lived in 2015 that would do $5 for 5 beef or bean crunchy tacos with cheese, lettuce, dice tom, and sour cream and I’d easily polish off 10-20 of those with a beer or two (I don’t live near there anymore and the bar closed down right before COVID due to the building be demo’d)
My wife isn’t big on eating the same thing for more than 2 days in a row and I miss the days of eating tacos 4-5 times a week by choice.
You’re not dead inside. You’re living a dream of mine right now.
Depends on what you’re cooking.
For example: I can throw together some pasta and have it be done in 20 minutes, 45 minutes, an hour, 2 hours, or 6 hours. All depending on the type of pasta I’m making, how many people I’m serving, and how complex I want to get and how many layered flavors I’m trying to build or if I want to make my own fresh noodles or use some dried noodles in the pantry.
However, no matter the process I use, at the end I usually only have one pot, serving utensils, and dishes used for the meal. I clean while I cook very effectively, but there are times where timings of cooking techniques prevent that and I’ll have to do some quick cleanup before serving.
