Once in a Lifetime TWOSDAY!

This week we celebrated the once in a lifetime calendar date 2.22.22 which fell on Tuesday aka: TWOSDAY! Earlier in the month I noticed that particular day was open on the meal train schedule so I signed right up and started planning how to incorporate TWOSDAY into the Bake & Take meal we would deliver. Tacos came to mind first since Taco Tuesday is already a thing and the date we chose was going to land on a Tuesday. It seemed perfect. Then the idea of creating a theme decorated  box to deliver the meal popped in my head. A party in a box sounded like fun so the first thing on the to~do list was creating some DIY graphics for small banners and signs to use to decorate the box.

While the signs and banner were in the works a couple other theme ideas were floating around such as TUTU’S and neck TIES. The list of ideas was long however time narrowed down what could actually be accomplished. First I thought it would be cute to make a shirt using a small paper bag and then put a tie on the shirt.

Templates were needed so to start I made a practice shirt out of a lunch sack. It seemed to work so I moved on and sketched out a few things such as a pocket for the shirt, the taco shell and fillings and the top part of the tutu. Once those were ready I looked for supplies.

There was plenty of pink tulle in my stash to make a little TUTU so that was finished in no time. It fit several bottles and jars but in the end I went with a water bottle.

For the shirt I found a gift bag in my supply that turned out to be the perfect size. I folded the top to make the collar as before and then made a tie using a wider more colorful piece of ribbon this time. Two shirt buttons glued to the collar, a pocket with a tag inside and the cute little shirt was complete.

Now let’s TACO ‘bout the menu.

Of course there were tacos however not quite the traditional style. They were fun Walking Tacos along with a batch of sour cream chicken enchiladas. 

The Walking Tacos came with Frito’s, seasoned taco meat and all the toppings including Mr. Wonderful’s homemade guacamole.

The Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas included Mexican corn and black bean salad, cornbread, of course more homemade guacamole and apple pie bars for dessert. 

This extra special Meal on Heels was a lot of fun to put together and deliver. And, because I had doubled the meal, we had a festive dinner too. 

It was a fun, crafty and yummy way to celebrate this special day with our friends.

Happy Friday!
