Pianos and Nebraska taco salad?

We had taco salad last night for dinner.  Nothing too exciting you say?  This is the taco salad I remember having at my grandmother's house in Nebraska.  You need to brown and season 1 lb of ground beef, add 1 can of refried beans.  You also need lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, (optional) sliced olives, grated cheese and a salad dressing that is simply known as "Dorothy Lynch".  The dressing is fantastic!  Its origin is from Nebraska.  Columbus to be exact.  A company called Tasty Toppings  I think it's loosely based on french dressing but so much better!  You also need some tortilla chips.  Dorritos are best.  Nacho cheese. Mmm.  Start by placing a handful of Dorritos on your plate and crush them with the palm of your hand.  Layer the beef mixture, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and olives on top.  Drizzle with Dorothy Lynch and enjoy!  Thanks Grandma!

Finished product.  Mmm, Mmm!!

It's not available at every grocery store, but it's available online too.

Skyler also is fascinated by the piano.  I'm not a huge fan of the piano after being forced to play at a young age, but if he wants to learn, we'll encourage him.  Altair still takes lessons.  It's really the one of the cutest things about her.  Refusing to grow up and stop learning.
