ABC -- F!

ABC is hosted each week by Mrs. Denise Nesbitt and her team. It's a whole new way to learn your ABC's and it's fun!! Click on the icon, sign in and show how much you know! And the letter for the is --- F

F is for delicious Fish tacos!



The two
on the outside
so wrapped up
in themselves;

Shredded peppers
carrot slivers
streaks of onion
falling over each other
in delight
all whispering and gossiping
nestled amidst
cilantroed fish,
emerging from
a lashing of sauce.......

The middle one,
a bit older,
shrugs,
shoulder wide open.
The peppers
and onions,
and carrots,
wait;
Patience !
Life is more spicy
when enjoyed with
a green sauce
and a squeeze
of lemon...

(I've never had fish tacos; only had the vegetarian variety. But these ones looked like they had a mind of their own....I've approximated the ingredients..)

Fish tacos is one of my favorite things to eat. I have to admit I have never read such a beautiful ode to a taco before.
Nice family photos and gorgeous flowers.

You had lots of good F's, but your fish tacos made me hungry, and so I coulnd't concentrate on the flowers and flamingos.

Yum...

And of course, family is the finest F.

I definitely would eat fish tacos! Need more fish in the diet.
