I obliged to the pregnant desires and found myself tracking my way to the delightful Kroger for taco supplies. The plus tonight was that i did remember the elusive Kroger card. Why i use the word 'elusive' is another story. As i walked into the produce and vegetable section, i came behind another gentleman who kept buying the same items i was, shredded lettuce and tomatoes. Coincidence? Did he have a pregnant wife with similar desires? I proceeded to the meat without difficulty- Angus beef, yummy. Then i hit a snag on the specialty isle. There were thousands of people there in my way, well perhaps only 5-10. With much trial to my patience, i obtained the shells and the seasoning. I then proceeded to grab English Tea (not on the list) and then got sour cream, cheese, and the pot pies (also request). I checked out and discovered my cost was $20. subtract $4 for the pot pies and $2 for the tea, that leaves $14 dollars for 12 homemade tacos. I believe that taco's at Taco Bell do run under $1 a piece- 99 cents according to Katie. I feel too lazy to figure out tax- Ill leave that to Kristin. Then I had to make the tacos which were very delicious and much appreciated by the requestee. Taco Bell vs. Homemade. I would never imagined it would be more expensive for homemade. Yes it is for #12, but WE are pregnant. Now we have consumed 10 between the two of us, we are fat and happy. The quest for Tacos was successful, but i began this quest at 5:30, and finished at 7:00. Taco bell approx. 30 minutes for purchase and consumption.
After the tacos i was delighted to hear the quotes of the day.
"the car is not the only place to get affectionate"

A critic of "The Quest For Tacos"
While it was emotionally stirring, and heart wariming in the end, the reader is left with a few lingering mysteries. Who was the taco ingredient copy-cat? What, exactly, were his motives? Why, if Katie realized both expense and time commitment required by homemade tacos, did she not request the Taco-Bell variety, which she has been documented as loving? Why does the author have so much trouble counting the difference between a thousand people and ten? Also, if said author is, in fact, married to this author's sister, shouldn't he know by now that she spells her name K-R-I-S-T-E-N? So, while the escapade is enjoyable, I only reccommend it for those readers who will not be haunted by these mysteries...
And M would totally grant a cow 00 status...Punk
An accomplished reader would make several inferences regarding "The Quest For Tacos". First the misprint was intentional. How else would you spell Cristen. Obviously the editor of this blog is either lazy or overly humorous in a creepy, confounded kind of way. Second, it was implied the intent of the so-called "copy-cat" taco ingredient buyer wass not "copy-cat" at all but was indeed in front of the author. This would lead the accomplished reader to question if the author was really a copy-cat himself. One would expect that since the author is an accomplished cook then the author's wife would prefer the loving home preparation over the hasty (the author's wife preferred the word 'hastily'), thoughtless crap one could potentially contract hepatitis from.
I would also like to point out that your editor also needs to be fired as the supposedly intended word "warming" was spelled "wariming". As i am not familiar with this spelling, its intent seemed evident. Also the goal of any writer is for the intent of the writing be established. You yourself said it was warming, and thus i am now an accomplished cook and writer.
Aparently i published my comment prematurely. I intended on hitting the preview button but failed.
To clarify the last statement:
The purpose of writing is to establish a theme to convey an idea to a reader. My goal was to be emotionally stirring and borderline pointless. I feel i have accomplished this.
Ahhh...random pointlessness. Who doesn't love that? No one, I tell you, no one.
By the way, if you want to hear an awesome song that will inspire lots of random shouting about pants, check out the song 'I wear the pant' (or something like that) by Avril. It's on the 'girlfriend' album and is very 'heartwariming' in a shrill, shouting, offensive to people everywhere kind of way. Piper and Lincoln like to join in our random arguments about who, in fact, wears the pants round here.
Also, from now on, this editor will refer to said author as Sa-mule, because it's the same basic idea and whatnot.
So there, punk...
I feel the pointlessness has been lost. I appreciate the very Kristenrific response but feel the need to switch to new topics.
