the missus has a bunch of workmates staying at our house this week. we made steak tacos last night and partied like it was 1995.
Are you assuming Shakira likes steak tacos because she's latina?
not assuming that, but if she eats red meat i'd be willing to bet that she would have like these ones. the marinated flank steak was simply excellent, and we had some really tasty homemade toppings (mango salsa, guac, fermented habanero hot sauce, black beans with cumin seeds, etc.). cheese and tortillas were store-bought, tho
i was living in Ecuador when this album came out, and it was HUGE. you couldn't go out to a discoteca without hearing "donde estas corazon" at least twice during the night. she went from a complete unknown to playing the huge soccer stadium in Quito (i wanted to go but for some reason missed out, still regret it). anyhoo, it's an album i've listened to a million times and is indelibly associated with a formative time in my life (first time out of school, first time in a foreign country on my own, learning a new language and culture, etc). hearing it again last night open the ol' floodgate o' memories.
