Now that you have my Italian version of huevos, here’s a recipe that’s mas o menos traditional. You can throw this together with leftovers from last night’s fish taco party with hardly any prep at all. Feel free to sub V8 for tomato sauce and add some cilantro or guac on there too! For the bean lovers, refried pintos might be another delicious side and are generally spread over the tortillas before topping with the eggs and sauce. This hearty breakfast is definitely cause to rise and shine!

It seems like every time I turn around there’s a new taqueria opening. And, upon further thought, I can’t think of a single one that’s ever closed! America, or Atlanta anyway, is taco crazy! I don’t blame them, you, or me. Tacos are fresh fun fare that can be jazzed up as many ways as there are restaurants trying… Lately I’ve seen everything from tongue & goat tacos to tacos made of mashed potatoes and always the usual pulled pork and brisket in between. There are varying salsas, veggies, slaws, aioli, cheese, and other toppings yes, but all a taco make. Here’s my take on the taco that I believe started the craze, the fish taco. I jazzed it up with a chipotle mango twist on your usual salsa and slaw. Sorry taquerias, this one’s on the house!

Themes are important . Be it in a book, a menu, or a party, having a theme provides sense of congruence that sets the stage for things to come. Not only must one have a theme, but they must have a good theme as well. One that everyone can really get excited about and put their energy into. My old roommates and I decided to throw a party with such a theme and everyone really got on board. In turn, the result was another successful party.
What was the theme you ask? Senior Trip. Although it makes sense since I still live in my hometown, it never fails to blow my mind how many people from high school are still around and in touch. I’d say we had at least 5-10 people in attendance who were on said senior trip, to Cancun of course, and even more pictures of said people on display. Other party favors included a sound track right out of high school including the classic Kilo, Green Day, and Abercrombie & Fitch songs, leis, Senior Girls t-shirts, Graduation paraphernalia, Malibu and punch. Lest you forget, drinking at 18 is legal in Mexico!
I, of course, was charged with food and my (in)famous drunken pineapple. Despite the fact that we ate chicken fingers at Tony Roma’s more days than not, I went with something a tad more unique since technically we are grownups now. That said, I’m pretty sure some fried chicken cordon bleu bites made an appearance at some point during the night…
