Dear Humans,

My family’s taco night is pretty great. To go with the brown boring basics, we have all these little bowls full of colorful ingredients–red chopped tomatoes, bias-sliced green onions, chipotle-dusted sour cream, purple pickled onions. And you put it all together in your oven-heated hard shell and you have a spectacularly crunchy, spicy, greasy first bite. 

But then there’s the mess. Because all those little bowls need cleaning. And the pots and pans need scrubbing. Not to mention all the time that went into the chopping, dicing, and slicing. 

Most of life is preparing for and then cleaning up after. So we have to make sure that one spectacular first bite is worth it.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
