Tacos vs. Burritos

Most sane people enjoy Mexican food.

While discussing tacos and burritos with my family, we wondered what is the definition of a taco and a burrito? Now, we have had many a taco and burrito, but what is the difference? We came to this conclusion.

The Taco

  • Small corn tortilla, either hard or soft. 
  • Meat. Typically beef, steak, chicken, or shrimp.
  • Lettuce
  • Cheese
  • Salsa
  • Guacamole
  • Typically, you need more than one taco for a meal.
  • Always folded in half.
The Burrito

  • Large flour tortilla.
  • Beans
  • Cheese
  • Meat. Personally, there should be more beans than meat.
  • Lettuce
  • Salsa
  • Guacamole
  • Typically, one or two burritos will suffice as a meal.
  • Always completely folded, so none of the stuff will fall out, even though it usually does.
  • If it is fried, that is a chimichanga.


Although they are a bit different, they are both delicious foods hugged in a tasty tortilla. If I were to choose one over the other, that would be like asking your mother which child she likes more. The answer is all of the above.

Learning

For a lot of people, school is starting soon, or has already started. Some people love school, and others loathe it. I love it mainly because I love to learn. I found a quote about learning. "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether this happens at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps on learning not only remains young, but becomes constantly more valuable regardless of physical capacity."  - Harvey Ullman  I think this is really interesting. Even if you are not in school, we should still continue to learn. The thing about learning on your own is you can explore anything you want. You can go at your own pace. If you find something that interests you learning can be fun. I enjoy learning about gardening, history, and many other things. One website that is really cool is Khan Academy. They have lots of videos and articles that you can read. I recommend it, no matter how old you are. Going back to the quote, if we learn we are valuable. Knowledge is amazing.

Work and Play

Lately I have been thinking about work and play. I think both are important. This actually reminds me of a poem. Work M. A. Stodart Work while you work, Play while you play; This is the way To be happy each day. All that you do, Do with your might; Things done by halves Are never done right. I love this poem. It is short, but so true. When we are working, just work. Don't do half of the job.  I have a job at a garden shop. I just water plants and do other little jobs, but I really enjoy it. I like how I can get sweaty and tired. It makes me feel like I was working hard. I also think it is interesting how  M. A. Stodart (the poet) mentioned play. Play (in my opinion) is just as important as work. There needs to be balance though. Everyone can have different ways to play or have fun. For me, I find reading, crafts, and hiking fun. I think if we have a good balance of work and play, we can be happy. What do you do for fun? ...

This poem is a nonet. It has nine lines and the first line has nine syllables, the second has eight syllables, and so on.
