Growing up I always asked my mom to make tacos for dinner. What a simple, yet cool dinner. It took her like 9 years to finally make my dream come true. I think she was afraid to mess them up?? Not sure why. I just always though making Mexican food would be fairly easy and still real yummy. Yet, even myself I never really made much Mexican food even though its one of my favorite kind of food. Ive made simple cheese and chip nachos or some killer veggie chilli in the past. But that is about it. So when I was having my friend Melissa, whom I met at the ACHD conference (and lives 10 mins away, lol), over I wanted to make something yummy, yet good for you. Spaghetti was on my list, but I wanted to make something different than what I usually make. So, I created in my head some killer quesadillas! I finally made my first official Mexican food dish. I made it of course with a twist, which I tend to do. I made them with wraps, shredded cheese, chopped veggie burgers and sliced shrimp. I baked them in the oven and they were extra crispy. For dipping I used ranch dip, creamy salsa and olive spread. It was DELICIOUS and surprisingly the olive spread tasted devine with them. Yum!
My mom's favorite amusement park ride is the carousel. I never understood why because I use to just sit in the sled on the ride and go around and around. The ride just wasn't cool to me. Although, I do own a 14K gold carousel charm in honor of my mom's love of it. Today Miss Em and I went to Seabreeze amusement park (http://www.seabreeze.com/default.asp) in Rochester. So at 19+10 years old I finally rode on of those horses that go up and down. I can't explain it. But the old fashion music and the wind in my hair on top of a fiberglass horse hit something deep inside. I was in love and now have a goal to go on any carousel I see. So after we left the park we ended taking a nice stroll at the local pier and behold they also had a carousel, which I so had to ride! This one had exotic animals and I rode a moving ostrich! I was in heaven... just species away from a dodo.
