EAU CLAIRE, WISCONSIN—A statement from local mother Sandra Johnson has been obtained regarding the Johnson family’s dining options this coming Tuesday. The contents outline a plan to “whip up” tacos that evening.
The statement was initially sent via text message to Sandra’s husband Brad (44), daughter Margaret (16), and son Kyle (13). Sandra began by noting “Tuesday is full of fun!!” She proceeded to highlight a budget meeting that Brad had been preparing for, along with the middle school play where Kyle had landed a role, and Margaret’s soccer practice in the afternoon. “I’m so proud of you all, love you, xoxo”, she concluded in the first message, before continuing on to the main topic of interest.
“She likes to try different cuisines”, said Margaret when asked about the typical dinner at home. “A new restaurant will open up or she’ll watch some video online, and suddenly it’s Thai food for a week. But tacos are pretty common when we’re busy.”
An employee of Taco Cabana, the local Mexican restaurant with a 3.4 star rating on Google, gave a statement regarding Sandra’s excitement the previous week during dinner and drinks with a friend. “She was effusive, very positive. She complimented us on not being too spicy.”
Sandra continued her stream of text messages, explaining that tacos would be ready by 4:30 in the afternoon and could be assembled as everyone arrived home. “I have black beans, cheddar cheese, an avocado, shredded lettuce, some tomato, and a poblano pepper if anyone is feeling adventurous!” She also claimed to have sour cream available, but didn’t want to “hurt Kyle’s tummy” with the dairy.
Brad initially did not respond for a request to comment. Just before the time of publication, he sent in an email that only said, “I have a frozen pizza out in the den.”
