Today it was about a thousand degrees outside and with just our couple of feeble window air conditioners, it was about two thousand degrees inside. Our afternoon rain was a pittance today; usually it is such a blessing to cool things off if only for a little while.
Back to dinner. I just couldn't bare the thought of cooking and didn't think ahead enough to put something in the crock pot, so I called hunny and asked him to please pick up Taco Bell. Now, before I start, Taco Bell isn't exactly cheap for us, but the way we order it is, of course, cheaper than usual restaurant fare.
You see, regularly, with everyone ordering à la carte Taco Bell for eight can run up to as much as $60. (We keep telling the kids that "some glorious day" we'll do this. In the mean time, they're more than thankful for Taco Bell at all.) When Erich goes, he gets three big boxes. The tacos come in 12-packs and the bean burritos (for me and the vegetarians) come in a 10-pack. He gets one 12-pack of crunchy tacos, one 12-pack of soft tacos and a 10-pack of bean burritos. Each box is $10.
So, that's fast food for all eight of us for just $30. Yea, I might be able to cook tacos and burritos for less homemade, but it's so worth it not to go have to venture into Sierra Kitchen.
