Tank's Moustache March Blog

Well here I am again with another problem in our society. Those that know me, know that I love me some Mexican food. Whether it be Taco Bell, a taco truck, or my personal favorite, Thursday night tacos at mom’s house. There have been periods of time where I have eaten some sort of Mexican food at least once a day for weeks at a time.

One of the aspects of Mexican cuisine I have come to enjoy is Guacamole. I love the added texture and flavor of the avocado mixed in with everything else. But I must stop at this point and talk about my least favorite food in the world, tomatoes. There is literally nothing I dislike eating more and trust me I have eaten some odd things. It is mostly just fresh tomatoes of any sort. I can handle the cooked varieties.

So here in lies my problem…for some reason many guacamole recipes have tomatoes in them. Now I do not claim to be any sort of expert on mexican cuisine but, I mean SERIOUSLY there is no reason for this, 9 times out of 10 there is salsa and/or tomatoes available for those who want the red devil on their palette. The only place I could possible understand it is if you are preparing it purely as a dip for a party and don’t just want a bowl of green stuff on the table.

A good friend of mine, and fellow tomato hater, always said the 86% of teenage males don’t like tomatoes. If that is true there is a good chance that a large percentage of them continue to dislike the things into adulthood. So all you aesthetically pleasing guacamole makers out there take a minute and think about what you are ruining for the rest of us.

So after returning home from a trip to California today, I finally got motivated to start my new blog series called Seriously… now if I could I would use the “/s” sarcasm tag everytime I say seriously but I will skip it. I would explain the series more but I think the following experience will help you catch my drift.

I have now decided that my least favorite part of airports is the baggage claim. No it’s not security and shoes off and lotion bags and crap, it is the idiots at the baggage claim. I mean SERIOUSLY, do you need to run down there and get your spot right on the line, so then when my bag comes I have to run down the line like a kid running with the parade to catch a peek, just to get my bag. I know that a lot of people have a hard time remembering that their are other people on the face of the Earth but this one doesn’t seem too hard. Every one just take 3 steps back and problem solved. Yeah it might be a little embarrassing if you go up and almost grab the wrong bag but I will forgive you I promise.

Now I realize that we might have to get the Dept. of Homeland Security to step in and help with this. Maybe an armed guard and some paint on the carpet would help people get used to this concept of other people.

So yeah I am hoping things will continue to piss me off as much as that did today so I can keep this series going.
