OK I am venting today. I was so looking froward to tacos and bought 2 boxes of hard corn shells, got them home, prepared the meet, cheese etc and opened up the taco shells to put them in the oven and BAM, 100% broken. I am serious. They were the last thing I did, food was on the table and I have no shells! This is so frustrating. I did not drop them or anything so they cam from the store shelf like this. Ugh! I wold have taken them back but by this time it was not much of a choice as I had dinner prepared and we were all starving!
We ended up having moon shaped tostadas (sp?). It was he best thing I could think of and we did not waste the shells this way.
I am buying an extra box next time so I can take them back, this has never happened to me before!
I do the same as Candice and just use them as chips and we have Nachos!
Glad it all worked out in the end as it is something as simple as "don't cry over spilled milk" in this case broken taco shells but it is a pain. Now you will never know if you will get home with broken shells or not when you buy them again.
Candice:
I have done that and did consider it but I was so peeved about it I was being stubborn. Don't know why I just was. I think I may have been PMSing…seriously!
Bummer. When this happens to me, I break them up and use them as chips to scoop up the toppings.
