My Christmas Dinner
Robinson family Christmas always involves crispy-fried tacos w/ shredded beef, cheese, onions, etc. Gramma brings homemade, fresh, flour tortillas, refried beans, and really hot salsa, which she simply calls "chile." The chile is sometimes red, sometimes green, but it always looks the same to me. And it always tastes good and HOT.

This year my mom got jiggy and decided to make a bunch of tacos with ground beef and mashed potatoes. I wasn't too hip to this development. I ate one later in the evening, after I'd had several whiskeys and it was tolerable.

Mom never salts anything while she's cooking. And then she wonders why her food is bland. This year, though, I did a lot of surreptitious salting when she wasn't looking. The tacos were better than usual.

Tony, it seems you are really into salting things: your mom's tacos, my game, etc. What gives?

Andy,
My mom's tacos NEED salt. Anything she cooks needs salt.
I thought you didn't have any game. It's okay to have no game. I have no game either. I am gameless. I've tried.
Yrs,
Tony
That picture is making me hungry.

I am a salt fan as well. I've been working on not using as much salt to avoid high blood pressure. Salt is almost like cheese because it makes almost anything better by adding it.
I asked for a salt lick for Christmas but did not get one. It might be because I've been more naughty than nice, or maybe because I was bad-mouthing Jesus on my blog.
You can bad mouth Jesus and get good gifts. Just don't bad mouth Santa, he'll f-word you up. I pray to Santa every night to ensure I get nice gifts.
Damn. I always get those 2 mixed up.
Maybe a really weird penis with a sprinkler head.
