Year of The......

Every year my sisters and I find ourselves in a food theme. 

It's not selected before hand, it's just something that comes with the cravings we get, 

that turns into a year long venture of finding the best one.

For example: 

One year for me was The Year of The Oreo. 

I couldn't get enough of that delicious cookie and even discovered that 

I could live off that one food item for an entire month alone.

Another year was The Year of The Nacho. 

We tried several different locations in search of the best Nacho and to this day 

the champion is still Red Iguana's Killer Nacho's.

A few years ago was The Year of the Hamburger 

quickly followed by The Year of The Burrito.

This year I am pleased to introduce to you.......

while eating gyros in Greece, 

we realized that there are several different versions of the taco.

Greece = Gyro

America = Hot Dog

France = Crepe

Middle Eastern = Pitas

Asia = Lettuce Wraps

Now there is some sweet history to this delicious food item, and some sweet pics,

but I think my love started a few years back at Sizzles Aunt and Uncle's house-homemade goodness.

But that was as far as I got to your typical Taco Bell version of the hard shell.

I want the real stuff that look more like this:

sold in something like this:

but not as fancy.

I even think Nancy Reagan loved this back in the White House.

Why else would she have came up with this addition to her original slogan:

So if any of you are craving Mexican food anytime this year, 

you know who to call because i'll tell you what......
