I haven't posted pictures of my crazy dog in a while and believe me it's not because she's suddenly turned into a "normal" dog.  She's definitely been displaying her usual neurosis - rock eating, chipmunk chasing and UPS truck racing.  But, she's recently added an even more unusual habit to her list of neurosis - lizard stalker!



She and this lizard stood nose to nose the other day for  a solid 5 minutes.  I'm pretty sure they were checking each other out because neither of them moved a muscle for a very long time.  They followed this Mexican stand off with an extensive game of hide and seek.  (The lizard did all of the hiding by the way.)

While Mia and her new found friend played on the porch, I was busy getting lunch together in the kitchen.  These chicken tacos were really tasty.  They took a little more than 30 minutes prepare but it was definitely worth it.  We all liked these tasty little tacos.

I gobbled up this delicious plate of chicken tacos in no time.  The rest of my family made their tacos on flour tortillas.  I prefer the corn tortillas but if you're family prefers flour - by all means - go for it.  Either way, these tacos are delicious. 

Ciao!
