Fiesta Day!

Today is Fiesta Day for my son's class. They've been studying Mexican culture and this is the grand finale. We were reminded via email from the teacher that they had enough chips and salsa but really needed some tacos or burritos and we could send these with our child in the morning. The only problem is that she sent the email at 5:50 pm to my wife's work email (she is also a teacher) and she didn't get it till this morning. I was called at work and told of this catastrophe at 8:30 and I immediately ran out to find a solution to the problem. I quickly realize there's not much in the area of bulk Mexican food to choose from in the frozen food section of Wal-Mart & Brookshire's. My first thought was to find some pre-cooked, heat-and-serve tamales but appearantly they were all sold out. I did find a bag of fairly authentic looking frozen burritos and quickly snatched them up, along with a diet Pepsi, and headed home to cook them (burritos not diet Pepsi).

Hopefully I won't be embarassed by having another parent bring the same thing that I worked so hard to get. Oh well, I'm just glad I don't have to stay there after twenty 7 & 8 year olds eat a Fiesta of Mexican food! Too many fingers to pull!

Hasta La Vista, baby!!
