Tacos

Once upon a time, I was a Girl Scout. This was a while ago, and I didn't keep up with it for very long. But at one time, merit badges held a certain allure, and I'm sure my parents were quite happy to see me socializing. I was a bit of a loner, even then.

One of these merit badges was some sort of house keeping or cooking thing. The important part was that I had to make dinner for my family. I think I was about 9 years old at the time. I made tacos, and my parents were really proud of me. I was always surprised at that because even then, tacos were something I didn't have much trouble with, and I don't recall thinking it was a big deal. I served brownies for dessert.

I didn't stick with the girl scouts. There was the 'incident' on a camping trip involving a large fireball and the unfortunate loss of some of my hair, and I always felt like the boy scouts had more fun.

However, I still know how to make tacos.
