Joe and I are eating tacos today. He got three tacos: two fish and one pork belly, with a side of elotes. The mayo on top keeps getting stuck in his mustache but I don’t tell him. Not cuz I think he’ll be embarrassed or anything. I know he doesn’t have any shame. I’m eating a shrimp taco and a steak taco. I secretly covet his pork belly and fried fish but I’m supposed to be watching my calorie intake >:( We both got margaritas. His is big and mine is small, but mine looks cuter. I am a little tipsy :)
