3 bloggers can get a little strange.
Meghan’s husband can attest to this.
Lucie AND Meghan are in town (and Meghan’s husband who shall not be named or pictured). We’ve been touring San Diego and causing general shenanigans.
Afternoon beers, anyone?
We’ve also been cooking. All of us in the kitchen is a strange but good heaven.
(Vegas reminded me where the fire extinguisher was.)
Yesterday we decided to make lunch at home. I had tortillas leftover from our Cinco de Mayo feast and a bunch of eggs and veggies.
Breakfast tacos for lunch! I’m counting it as strange but good. Because eggs on tacos. For lunch. That could be odd to some… especially since bacon spread was involved.
Our toppings included: mango salsa, #yolkporn, avocado, red bell peppers, asparagus, cauliflower, spinach, mushrooms, and bacon spread.
One of my favorite things about living in San Diego is the abundance of local ingredients. 90% of our taco fillings (and our tortillas) came from somewhere in the SD area.
Picking this up to eat it wasn’t an option. We ate our over-stuffed tacos with forks like classy folk.
I’m going to be so sad when they go!

Vegas ran away to Vegas. Lucie and I leave today to hunt her down/do some birthday partying!
Are you able to find many locally-sourced ingredients?
What’s your favorite taco ingredient?
Juli @1000lovelythings says
Oh gosh I have a full-time job with liking all your Instagram pictures! It looks like such a blast! Meg’s hubby must be very brave. Mine would probably hide somewhere until the party is over just like Vegas 😉
Tacos are good anytime. Funnily enough I am fantasizing about tacos filled with wild garlic pesto scrambled eggs for some time now. Maybe I should give it a shot!
Laura says
LOL! Thank you so much.
I think that taco idea sounds #strangebutgood. 😉
Angela @ happy fit mama says
Second egg taco I saw today. It’s a sign – eat eggs now!
Jen @ Chase the Red Grape says
Nothing strange about that meal… It’s simply mighty damn tasty! Every meal can always be improved with bacon and yolk porn. Fact!
We do have some local produce available – we are lucky we can get a lot of local veg in our supermarkets and pretty much all of our meat comes from the UK itself. Fruit tends to come from warmer climes in Europe (I suppose the equivalent would be New Yorkers getting fruit from Cali!) but it’s our fish that isn’t so great – we ship our delish salmon, prawns etc all over the world and the locals get very little of it, instead having access to mostly imported fish. It’s crazy!
Allie says
I want some bloggy house guests who can cook!!! How soon can you be here? 🙂
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious says
Egg tacos are the best so is local produce. Glad you guys are having fun!
Laura says
Wish you could have been there too!
Dixya @ Food, Pleasure, and Health says
it seems like you guys are having so much fun!!! and these tacos look wonderful, esp with mango salsa.
Tara @ Sweat like a Pig says
I am in full support of tacos at any time of day! And I am super jealous of all the fun you guys are having!
Laura says
Come visit!
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
Beers in the afternoon… also called summer 😀 BRING IT ON. I like that you essentially created a taco tower of all the good things. Also what I call a pizza at my house!
Laura says
Taco tower. I love it!
Taylor @ LiftingRevolution.com says
Yum! Eggs are like the new Bagel Bites, good for breakfast lunch or dinner!
RavieNomNoms says
I see nothing wrong with this, actually I wish I was having breakfast for lunch tacos right now!
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets says
Ahhh San Diego. Parting is such sweet sorrow. You’ll have to cheers me with a cocktail in Vegas and I shall pour one out for the two of you when we are back safe and sound in Cleveland. I’m pretty sure I’ve still got a Kombucha Beer in the fridge.
Also, I fully intend to save all my winter squash for you, which means you’ll have to come to C-town to get it.
lindsay says
damn… I say forget blend, stay there. I’ll come in a few weeks and we can make brunch again. Mimosa’s on me!
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets says
Sounds like a plan. I’ll get your bedroom ready, with mimosa in tow.
Laura says
Everyone should just move here!
Sarah says
Ok I must be strange 24/7 because I go through phases where this is my lunch daily!! Haha! So excited to finally link up for Strange But Good. I know others think many of my creations are strange but I don’t so I have always been hesitant to link up but I’m jumping in this week… CANNON BALL!!
Laura says
I’m SO EXCITED you linked up! Your stuff is the #strangebutgood jam!
Kanoelani says
That all looks so good I’m so jelly!! All those bloggers in one place is dangerous lmao… In a good way haha!! Enjoy ladies ❤️
Laura says
Tell everyone hi at Blend!!!!
Lucie@FitSwissChick says
That was delicious. I love the bacon spread!
I am sorry I ate all the Appetizers and drank all the margaritas in the afternoon. I didn’t follow your order, I owe you something for that. Make a wish.
Laura says
Live here.
GiGi Eats says
I am counting down the milliseconds yo!
Laura says
Bitch.
GiGi Eats says
Kick me in the face and call me Aunt Sally? 🙁
I am making it up to you when you return from Greece. And I will come on a weekend so NO AUDITIONS will get in the way. If I don’t fucking BOOK ONE OF THESE AUDITIONS I MIGHT BREAK SOMEONE’S FACE… Which means I will probably get arrested and then I would be thrown in jail and wouldn’t be able to come to SD again, so um, fuck. I won’t do that then!
Choc Chip Uru says
I agree with this mealtime switch completely 😀 Delicious looking dish!
Cheers

Debra says
Luckily, no bloggers were harmed! ahahahahahahah
Lauren says
How fun! I would love to cook with other bloggers that would be such a treat and learning experience. Looks like it was a blast!
