Taco To-Day: Baguette Way

My ex and I had exchanged gifts the day before Christmas and then broke up the day after. I'd seen the break-up coming, but I really liked the watch I'd gotten for him and wanted him to have it. He gave me an equally awesome gift by paying for knitting lessons. So while the lessons ended up being about a month after we broke up, I knitted him a scarf.

I finished the scarf in March and still haven't given it to him. I sent him the following email this week:
I had a dream about you last night that you had shaved your beard and were working as a concierge in a Vegas hotel. It was awkward.... some of that is coming from the fact that I'm about to hire this 24 year old kid who was a concierge in a hotel in NYC for the last year... at least I can only assume that's what my subconscious was tying together. 

This is better than the dreams I've been having about trying to rescue puppies running across the highway.

I have something I'd like to mail you. Can I have your address? I promise it's not scary or evil even though I've blown you off for the last 9 months. It's okay if not. 

Hope you're well.
To which he replied:
Hey...good to hear from you. I've been mending up nicely...started a new job last week...plan to move back from suburban hell in a month or so. Hope all is well for you. Take care. No bombs, body parts or fecis (sic) please. XXXX Baguette Dr.,  XXXXXX, CO 
Can we take a step back and talk about the fact that we were actually together when he moved to Baguette Drive and he didn't think it was important enough to tell me he was going to live on FUCKING BAGUETTE DRIVE?

To which I replied:
You've been living on Baguette Drive? I might lose my mind with that. Why not Croissanwich Way or Sourdough Parkway? Wow... 
For some reason he hasn't replied. Could it be that making fun of the street he lives on with his ex girlfriend is inappropriate? Could it be that after blowing him off in May after not seeing him since December he's just not ready for me to question anything?

Fucking Baguette Drive.  (Shout out to Katie for confirming this is awesome since he wouldn't...)

Moving on...

I barely had tacos at all this week. I did make these great quesadillas with goat cheese, shrimp, salsa, and spinach.

Technically not a taco
And then I made this really amazing shrimp, pineapple, curried fried rice which is super totally not a taco, but is definitely three meals worth of food that I meant as just one.
Asian Taco. 
But I did make breakfast tacos for lunch today and an orange carrot and ginger juice. Yum.
100% Taco.
Have a good week.
