She's way too much attached to me just like the strongest superglue/magnet on earth! Always ended up with me losing all appetites and had already felt full with anger. Even now that both are already grown up, occasionally they'd misbehaved while eating out. Running all around as if their butts are full of thorns, refraining 'em from sticking onto the seats or rushing us to hurry finished up the food and go off immediately. Sigh...<br /><br />PS: I'm glad to know that I always make you smile. ;)Lyñ (My Little Messy N Cheeky)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06026190016188794321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401936627856647043.post-10442174279316349402011-08-30T14:05:17.554-07:002011-08-30T14:05:17.554-07:00Pierre, you are right, sometimes cooking can be th...Pierre, you are right, sometimes cooking can be therapeutic, but then sometimes it just takes too long, but it seems to always taste good at the end...well most of the time;o) I can't help but put ajinomoto (msg) into everything...<br /><br />Thank you so much Lizzie, Ravie, Claire, Sandra & Peggy:o)<br /><br />Tiger, yes, I think we all need a Sous Chef in the kitchen...lol<br /><br />Claire, I think most people think Ground Beef Tacos are too Gringo and that's why it's hard to find in restaurants. The chorizo really adds some nice flavor to the tacos!<br /><br />Thanks, Eva!<br /><br />Lyn, I really am lucky to have such an understanding husband :o) I think it would be different if we had kids, it would be much harder to decide at the last minute to go out...lol You always make me laugh with your comments Lyn, thanks for always putting a smile on my face!<br /><br />Tes, sometimes it good to be retro and have ground beef tacos :o)<br /><br />Thanks, Mike! I'm not sure how you do it...cooking all day at work and then coming home to cook again! Well, at least you get to eat the delicious meal at home :o) I usually have my iPod playing in my ear when I cook...Hubby says I'm starting to lose my hearing because I listen to it too loud...lol<br /><br />Thanks, Torview, Nami has one of the best blogs!<br /><br />Thanks, Manu, sometimes we just have to be bad and cook a little unhealthy ;o)<br /><br />Thanks, myfudo :o)<br /><br />Lindsey, I really do have the best Hubby :o)KEckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384883465802410213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401936627856647043.post-777372840145217992011-08-30T13:53:35.327-07:002011-08-30T13:53:35.327-07:00Shinae, high five back at ya!

Sounds like you have a lucky husband!<br /><br />Thanks, Christine!<br /><br />Rosemary, sometimes we just gotta eat a little unhealthy;o)<br /><br />Nami, I was my mother's dishwasher too.

Well, I sure need a bigger kitchen like hers to freely do what I want, and a "sous chef" to pre-prep all the ingredients for me. Then all I have to do is just chop up carrot, celery, onions, then start to cook!tigerfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575213806359208350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401936627856647043.post-81000369519154315312011-08-26T10:11:58.941-07:002011-08-26T10:11:58.941-07:00Oh dear this is sooo mouthwatering..I love that it...Oh dear this is sooo mouthwatering..I love that it is spicy and colorful! really amazing looking tacos..Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183466872546715233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401936627856647043.post-24835217282611281822011-08-26T10:08:59.824-07:002011-08-26T10:08:59.824-07:00GORGEOUS tacos!!

Your theory could be right as Japanese kitchen doesn't have dish washer and we usually wash everything by hands, and I was the one who was responsible for cleaning (that was my "help" in the kitchen). What a great meal... 2 hours is worth it! You cook very "teinei". Did you know that? Maybe that's 2nd reason why it takes 2 hours. But from your pictures I can tell you are very detail in cooking too!
