A Taco Inlaid Pond

It’s time for another one of these tremendously pointless posts.

So the new blog description is A Taco Inlaid Pond. This is great for a number of reasons. Here are the reasons:

  • Nobody eats tacos in Ireland, they are too small for our mammoth appetites, and are far too fiddly for our huge blunt hands. We prefer other, more wieldy Mexican and faux-Mexican cuisine, such as the mighty burrito (exemplified by the weighty examples purveyed by La Salsa in Galway). What better to do with tacos therefore, than to inlay a pond with them - perhaps by encasing them in a translucent resin at the bottom of the pond.
  • Apart from tacos, other materials used for inlaying include wood veneer, shells and niello. Perhaps a combination could be used to spruce up the garden furniture near your pond.
  • A pond can be anything from one meter squared, to two hectares in area, so why be constrained by tradition - supersize your taco inlaid pond.
  • Beware, eutrophication can really fuck up your pond (see diagram above).
