I'll Have a Granule Fajita Taco

I know I have said it before. I eat out most of the time and seldom cook at home. So this has taken me into many restaurants which I have enjoyed because of the convenience and adventure. I have no qualms about where I go and often try a new place if I see their parking lot full. This week I have tried fajita tacos on flour tortilla and have found a developing change. At both places I asked for the same thing and although they are on opposite sides of San Antonio, I found that the restaurants are now serving their fajita meat in granules; sort of slightly oversized BBs. Both add lettuce and tomatoes at no extra cost. The result is over-cocked meat, often dry and crumbly (crumbly ?). I hope this is not happening everywhere. I can't imagine the reason for this change but somehow I feel that they will blame the economy. The taco in this picture is not the one I ate.

Family and Friends are very important

About three years ago, I experienced a health scare that for a short time affected my vision. I was seen by numerous specialist and all but one was willing to give me a prognosis. I became aware that this condition also had an effect in the way I was living. Without any effort, I became more thoughtful and considerate of friends and family, realizing how significant they all were. This serenity was a welcome feeling. It was better than the fast pace and busy schedule that kept me going day in and day out. I also noticed that I was less likely to get upset over insignificant things and more willing to walk away from any argument or confrontation with others. However, as my vision improved my serenity seemed to diminish and now I find myself getting justifiably upset with rude or discourteous people. So when people ask me if I am better I am not trying to be flippant when I say yes and no.
