Leftover tacos reincarnate as...?

Jeez, I never heard of left over tacos...what you have are ones that just haven't been eaten yet.
Sorry I live in SoCal, we just keep eatin' the tacos.
You can make breakfast with them too, mix in some eggs.
How about Chiliquilies?

I'm surprised that everyone uses soap, I've tastings I've heard folks claim that soap can leave a residue that effects the wine flavors.

@jenilowrance- I assume the vinegar solution helps sheet the water off preventing spots but what about vinegar smell or taste?

Migraine Foods - Triggers/"Cures"

A related thread you might be interesting in- http://www.seriouseats.com/talk/2008/10/red-wine-headache-sulfites-histamines-or.html
Many of the sufferers complain of wine as a migraine trigger.

Red Wine Headache- sulfites, histamines or ??

I'm interested in wine and I'm interested in science. Before researching this I knew sulfites were in many foods we eat daily, and it seemed like I was hearing a lot of folks complain about headaches from the "sulfites" in red wine but not from other foods. I just logically doubted sulfites as the cause and began doing some reading. For folks that suffer from wine related headaches this topic and information is very interesting. And they are concerned with what causes the problem so they can address avoiding it in other foods and possibly find a remedy.

izatryt- It seems the that some folks claim to drink some wine with no problems but other wines cause symptoms in very small quantities. For some it can happen with less than one glass.

lemons- Thanks for the response. When you say from the standpoint of "most of us" who are you referring to? Are you an RWH sufferer?

Cognac and the classic cocktail- The Sidecar

You know I don't think I've ever had Tuaca. It's described as citrus and vanilla flavors on the website. How would you describe it? Is it just for mixing or can you sip it straight?
