This evening, I prepared a Weight Watchers taco salad with black beans, vegetables, salsa, seasonings, and avocado, which I can’t classify on my own, but I do know that it is a serious food that people only use with purpose. This entire venture, which included following a simple recipe, quartering the recipe, chopping an array of vegetables, and opening two cans, took me about forty-five minutes. Now I’m eating the salsa with my fingers. Two steps forward, three steps back.
