Let’s Eat

Taco Republic - Mexican is on my mind

500 County Line Rd Kansas City, KS 66103 913-262-8226 (taco) website: eattacorepublic.com

It’s a taco shop, taco joint or taqueria. This laid-back, original style taqueria brings guests a diversity of flavors from Mexican streets and marketplaces where homemade “street-style” tacos originated. Now the opportunity to eat “real-deal” tacos in a casual, independent, not-your-standard-Mexican restaurant is available to all. At Taco Republic we use traditional Mexican meats like Barbacoa, Cochinita Pibil and Tinga atop authentic tortillas and topped with the freshest ingredients. We create ethnic street food by slow cooking, smoking and braising meats to get the simplicity of freshness and exquisite flavor. Taco Republic establishes a new category of neighborhood taco shop in the Midwest, producing casual comfort and extreme value in a unique environment. For those on the run, Taco Republic has a walk-up, to-go window with morning & late night hours. This window is where you’ll find a little piece of our soul: WoodFired Chicken. Cooked slowly and with a passion for yum, it’s available in daily limited quantities, so watch the neon sign to see if your dream dinner is available. For those with a bit more time there’s a comfortable roadside space to sit, relax, and listen to just-right music while you sip your favorite beverage and even play a game. The street-style taco is home at Taco Republic, and you will be too. Mi Taco, Su Taco!

Let’s Garden

Native grasses

Grassland Plants Native plants help promote conservation and preservation. Grassland Plants are vital: “One of the most endangered ecosystems on our planet, the temperate grasslands cover only 8% of the Earth’s surface, and this area is fast decreasing due to rampant deforestation and urbanization. The Temperate Grasslands Conservative Initiative (TGCI) aims to protect grassland areas all over the world, and helps reduce the damage caused, as much as possible.” Read more at Buzzle: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/grassland-plants.html Blue fescue

Blue fescue are one of the smallest of the ornamental grasses (under 1 foot tall), which makes them perfect for many different uses in the garden. Plant them at the base of leggy shrubs, in masses as a groundcover, in rows as edging, as accents or in containers. Evergreen in all buts its northernmost range, the bluish foliage looks best in early summer. Seed heads turn tan when mature; cut them off to keep plants looking neat. ‘Elijah Blue’ has powder-blue leaves. Size: 6-10 inches tall and wide Conditions: full or partial sun and well-drained soil Zones: 4-8 Best for: its sweet little size

Blue oat grass

Refined and elegant, this grass has beautiful blue-gray, finetextured leaf blades that grow in a mound. It is stunning throughout most of the season and combines well with most perennials. In fall, brownish spikelets reach for the sky. Size: to 4 feet tall, 1-2 feet wide Conditions: full sun and well-drained soil Zones: 4-9 Best for: its blue-gray color and neat appearance Silver Grass Binomial Name: Miscanthus sinensis Family: Poaceae Also called South American elephant grass, this variety is also found in Asiatic regions like China and Japan. Its height is around 2 meters.

Let’s Garden

Fountaingrass

A mounding plant with a lovely shape, its name refers to its graceful spray of foliage and late-summer plumes of fuzzy flowers. The white, pink or red plumes (according to variety) continue into fall and bring an informal look to gardens. SomePennisetum self seed freely, which means they can become invasive. Although some species will reach 5 feet in height, the dwarf types like ‘Hameln’ generally stay below 3 feet. ‘Purpureum’ is grown as an annual in cool climates but has lovely purple leaves and crimson flowers. Size: 10 inches to 5 feet tall and 1-4 feet wide, depending on variety Conditions: full sun and well-drained soil Zones: 5-9

Maidengrass

Miscanthus cultivars are go-to choices in the ornamental grass market because of their sky-high, easy growth. Narrow, arching foliage makes a perfect backdrop to showcase other perennials. Silvery plumes look enchanting when the sun shines through them. This perennial’s dramatic plumes of spikelets rise above the foliage and last well into winter. Leaves range from green-and-white striped, yellow striped, dark green and greenish white depending on cultivar. Plumes emerge at different times. (Pictured: ‘Zebrinus’ miscanthus) Size: 5-10 feet tall and 2-5 feet wide, depending on variety Conditions: sun or partial sun and well-drained soil Zones: 4-9

Northern sea oats

This fast-spreading species is loved for its seed heads, which hang off the stems and look like bronze-color wind chimes, which are attractive in fresh or dried arrangements. Leave the plants standing in winter if you like. But cut off the seed heads in fall to keep this prolific self-seeder tamed. Size: 3 feet tall, 2 feet wide Conditions: full to partial sun, well-drained soil Zones: 5-9 Best for: lovely seed heads in fall
