i just totally pigged out on chips & salsa

[avi]

at my desk that I took from the co. breakroom

this is how I feel:

 

[xfer]

chips and salsa!? NOT VEGETARIAN.

 

[avi]

i can't stop eating them

 

[lizard]

is it hot salsa! is your nose running?

 

[xfer]

since you live in the land of avocado wonder, i hope you're accompanying them with DA GUAC.

 

[avi]

it was kind of hot, but I like that stuff.

luckily the bag contained a very finite number of chips. I have vanquished them, but somehow I still think they won.

I am in pain. I need a nap.

 

[TheNewChupe]

i like making salsa with fresh stuff. plum tomatoes, cilantro, onion, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, some salt/spices. DAT IS DAT.

oh, and chips. i usually bake those corn tortillas because they're cheap and less fat.

 

[xfer]

also, pigging out? NOT KOSHER.

 

[avi]

*oink!*

 

[TheNewChupe]

wow, good point.

 

[Autumn Falls]

Not many people can understand the love I have for chips and hot sauce. My friends are baffled at how quickly I scream Mexican when asked what type of restaurant I want to eat at. There is almost nothing better. nothing.

P.S. so good...

I was going to tout the taquerias in Boston (Anna's and Boca, especially) but then I noticed you live in...Texas.

 

[Autumn Falls]

Uhh that's kind of close to Boston. Or not. When I'm up there this summer I will DEFINITELY check it out though as Mexican restaurants are on the top of my hierarchy of places to eat. The list is organized by which type of restaurant gives free food to start eating immediately upon arrival.

Also Boston trip will still be centered around a Kayo Dot show. Awesome.

Brandon

P.S. mexican food+kayo dot=awesome

this is the second time this week that the quality of boston-area taquerias has been evident.

the first: while watching a second hand purchased limited edition cave in - antenna cd with bonus dvd containing footage of the band in london chanting "Burrito burrito burrito..." and exclaiming how hard it was to find a burrito in London.

 

[xfer]

seriously the Colorado chicken super burrito or Chicken Ranchero super burrito at Boca Grande is just awesome.

also, when i went to my first taqueria in California...the guacamole was not as good as the guac at either Boca or Anna's!!! not by a long shot!

 

[avi]

hey eric, you should look into buying a tortilla press. homemade tortillas are super easy and cheap and so much better than (most) store-bought ones. Not to mention they'll lack all the creepy preservatives n stuff.

 

[TheNewChupe]

alex- those sound like wimpy burritos! in chicago, it's STEAK ALL THE WAY. of course the frequency of heart attacks in that city is probably triple the norm.

avi- yeah, i've seen them do it on tv cooking shows several times. if i could find one at a mexican yard sale, i'd get it. are they cheap?

 

[xfer]

well yeah they have steak and a bunch of porks, but the sauce they marinate/cook those two sorts of chicken in is amazing.

 

[TheNewChupe]

yeah, most of the chicken i've tried at chicago ones has been real stringy and bland, so spices would make it better. the one time i went to a supposed taqueria here in StL and asked for a steak burrito, they looked at me and said "Que?" IT WASN'T ON THE MENU. i got a $5 burrito filled with rice and beans. BUNCH OF CRAP.

 

[xfer]

i usually get rice and bean burritos instead of fleshy meaty ones--who needs dead animals when you can have black AND pinto beans?!
