And Then Arnold Says "I'll Be Bach"

I am back by popular demand. Okay, it was one person, but that was enough to persuade me. I have been following more and more blogs lately, which I love doing, and have been thinking about getting back to keeping mine.

The only problem is, I don't know what direction to take it. With Nate being home, I have less time to craft, and I feel like I am constantly at work during sunny hours, so I haven't been able to do much out doors. On top of busy work weeks, we have had busy weekends lately, but I think things are finally beginning to smooth out and we will have more time to do the things we love. Granted, I love watching tv with Nathan, all snuggled up on the couch in the evening, but that doesn't give me much interesting stuff to blog about. Either way, I am back, and I will probably be all over the place as far as topics go, but that should make it all the more interesting.








First up- our killer fish tacos! Tacos have become a staple for us and we have 2 very different award worthy types we usually make. I am going to share the newer edition with you. So good!

Meat: We like to use this frozen crusted tilapia that has a tortilla/lime/jalapeno crust. We have used another flavor too, but this is our favorite. Just follow directions on package and flake with a fork. We have also used tuna steaks, which we cooked on the stove top. Any fish would do. Just season the fish with 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, and a little salt. Cook over medium-high heat until it is cooked thoroughly and flake it with a fork.

Filling: Chop 1 small white onion, a big handful of cilantro, about 1/2 of a jalapeno (remember the seeds and white part are the spiciest, so we leave most of them out), and add the juice of 1/2 - 1 lime and a little salt, and mix.

Shell: The very best tortillas are the ones you buy uncooked so they are nice and fresh. This recipe is good with corn tortillas, or what I prefer, flour tortillas.


Toppings: Lettuce, tomato, avocado, and sour cream.



Assemble and enjoy!!! (Champagne optional.)

Oh, wondering what the title of this entry was about? If you know me at all, I have probably told you this joke, that has stuck with me since I first heard it over a decade ago:

Film producers wanted to make a movie about classical music composers starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Hugh Grant, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. They ask Leonardo who he wants to be and he answers "I want to be Beethoven because I've always liked him." Hugh says "I want to be Mozart because I've always liked him." Finally they ask Arnold and he says "I'll be Bach."
