Happy Bday YESTERDAY landon

Choco Honeycomb

I got a chocolate covered honeycomb yesterday at Sprouts, this little weird grocery store in Flower Mound. I was expecting it to be oozy honeyness but it wasnt at all. It was very dry and crunchy. But it still kind of looked like a honeycomb. Maybe that's what happens if a honeycomb dries. I am going to have to ask Landon because he is the only person I know that has eaten a real honeycomb before.

TC Breakfast Tacos YAY

Taco Cabanananana

I went out with a bunch of the twins friends to celebrate one of their birthdays last night. It was kinda lame since it was a Sunday night there wasn't much to do. So we were walking into the bar next to gachet that isn't the beagle and they ID there? So I just handed the guy my driver's license that clearly states I'm not 21 but he let me in any way. That was pretty trill.

The point is afterwards we walked across the street to go to taco cabana and I finally had one of their breakfast tacos. It was pretty good. I took the strip of bacon off and just had the tortilla with eggs. It was amazing. But really greasy at the same time so I couldn't eat it all even though I wanted to. And Chips and Queso duh.

Some More of What? You're Killin Me Smalls

smores

Smores first won my heart in the movie The Sandlot for obvious reasons. Now I think they're making a comeback. Your coffee shop is majorly lacking if you don't have a tableside smore roasting kit. Not to mention the fact that camping is seeing a 20% rise in popularity compared to statistics from the same time last year, due to nostalgia for the smore.

Anyway Annick bought smore making stuff and we've been making them in the microwave which means we're probably going to all get cancer but Mark is building a fire pit in the backyard which will be cool and then we can roast marshmallows old skool.

Chipotle

I don't eat Chipotle that much when I'm at home for several reasons. For one thing, I usually eat three meals a day here instead of cramming them all into one like I do when I'm in Austin. For another, Chipotle is a personal thing that I like to eat by myself and there are usually at least nine people at dinner here. Finally, the Chipotle's in Dallas SUCK. They are truly awful. As soon as I finish this post I am going to e-mail Chipotle and complain.

Okay so, I ate Chipotle the other day in Dallas. Actually Becky and I were visiting Matthew and his mom and his new apartment in Irving and we decided that's what we should have for lunch. So we went on a wild goose chase through Irving (actually not really thanks mom my memory is impeccable) and found one. EWWW. It was like walking in to Chipotle's evil twin. It didn't even smell right. I didn't completely lose faith until I watched the girl making my burrito completely ruin it while trying to wrap it and squeezing all of its guts out and ripping the tortilla. I had to ask three times (and two different people) for a bowl to throw the disgusting mess she made into. I'm so mad. I'm going to email them right now. Never go to Chipotle on Beltline in Irving.

Grandma's

Grandma's Roast Beef

My grandma, god bless her, insisted on making a yank meal for us Texans during her two week stay at our house. The ultimate yank meal, in my grandma's opinion, is roast beef with mashed potatoes and noodles.

I have to stop right there and ask, have any of you heard of eating noodles on mashed potatoes? It seems really ridiculous and carb happy and bland. Well it doesn't seem that way, it is. So why would anyone ever want to eat this?

Roast beef is like 110% fat. I hate bad cuts of meat and that's pretty much whatever the cut roast beef is made of is. AKA Maggie got all of mine.

I still love my grandma though.

Baby Gross

Baby Greens Spinach Chicken Wrap

WARNING: Don't eat here. A vegetarian burrito from chipotle costs less than twenty cents more than this and is far superior in every way. This was bad. so bad. Becky and I got these and we were really excited about it because we always pass it on the drive to visit Matthew is south Austin and I've been wanting to try it since we went to to food show in january and FINALLY we were going to have it for real.

It was so bland. It was just a bunch of lettuce and some other ingredients (dry chicken for example) that leave your mouth begging for juice and flavor. In short, this wrap made my tongue want to weep but didn't let it because there was no liquid to weep. I don't know what I'm talking about anymore. But really, if you love yourself, don't eat here. The only good part was the cute boy working. But he totally rushed us through the drive-thru (that's all there is- no dine in option) and didn't give me any time to decide what kind of tortilla I wanted.

Tuna and Fro-Yo

Cipollina Three Salad Sampler

Gooze and I went back to the place where we shared our first restaurant meal many months ago tonight, Cipollina. Feeling adventurous and indecisive, I ordered the three salad sampler which came with yellowfin tuna salad, mediterranean orso salad and Cipollina slaw. This who know me well know that I usually try everything I get at the beginning and then eat what I like in ascending order, saving the best for last. That didn't happened tonight. I ate the slaw, which I have no objections to because it wasn't smothered in mayonnaise and really only consisted of cabbage, but it didn't blow my mind. Then I couldn't help myself: I ate the tuna, not saving the best for last. It was irresistable. If you could only have tuna salad prepared one way for the rest of your life, this is the way you would want it. And it's funny, I don't remember what was in it. It's fading in my memory like a dream.

Then I ate my Mediterranean orso salad. It was romaine, rice, olives, some cheese. It was good. Not tuna though.


TCBY

Then we had TCBY for dessert! White Chocolate Mousse was the perfect way to end the meal. I love that old familiar taste. I almost tried Fudge Brownie but when it came time to order I chose my favorite.

Lucky Seeds

These seeds weren't lucky at all!

Chipotle X 5

Burrito Paradise

As you can see, when I'm not studying I'm eating burritos. This is the most ideal way to live. Hopefully if I get my raise at work I will be able to afford to just sit in the Chipotle downtown and eat burritos constantly. My friend told me the other day that I'm going to get burned out on it soon. HAH. we'll see about that. Also, one of these times I ate there with my family, and that was awesome, so I took a picture of all of our burritos.

Taco Bell

7 Layer Dip Crunch Wrap

What was I thinking? I saw a commercial for this and I was like "sweeeeeeet!" I like seven layer dip. So annick and I had taco bell the other day. ummmmmm. why is fast food so disgusting? I'm never eating again. First of all, the grill marks on the outer tortilla layer were obviously airbrushed on which is nasty. Second, it tasted like they scooped all the ingredients out of a big can and threw it together and nuked it in the microwave. SICK. never again.
