Not another Taco Bell....


Weird I should make reference to Steve Irwin in the last blog. Never really thought about the guy before and now through freak tragedy, a global nation of animal lovers and total hypocrites mourn his death. I never met the guy but if I can inject the same passion for something like wildlife that he did into his own children I will be doing something right. I'll try not to dangle my baby in front of a croc but when she is screaming endlessly, drawing on the walls or sticking a screw up her nose in the middle of the night that promise could be tricky...

We are on holiday in the USA where the choice of restaurants is as unlimited as the free refills that are derigour everywhere (unfortunately not on wine or beer.) How a nation can EAT so much is anyone's guess. How a nation can THINK about food so often is beyond me. But it is catchy...contagious even.

No wonder kids come bouncing out of schools like footballs. It is cheaper to munch on Taco Bell daily than have a packed lunch.

If we move here the difference for my baby will be the temperatures. Arizona heat means even the most hardy have to take a swim in the pool, sweat like a beast and at some point during their stay run screaming from a scorpion.

Just sleeping with one eye open over the baby's crib for fear of the desert creepies is enough to keep you slim -or hungry for a midnight snack....

....please join me in what Taco Bell describes as the 4th meal. Chow down nation. Chow down.
