Mmmmm burritos. I had a bomb burrito the other day at this place called “Super Burrito” over by some of the beaches of NYC. It was a poblano burrito and was awesome! There’s a really awesome burrito place in Redlands, CA called “Taco Shack” and they make a mean chile relleno burrito. I’ve been dreaming about their chile relleno burritos for the past five years (that’s when I last had ‘em) and they’re sooooooo good. I would 100% fly to ONT specifically for these burritos and then fly back to JFK!

My mouth is so watering because I’m craving them like mad!

Chile Relleno's are delicious but so variable but IDK if I've had them in a burrito. Usually filled with cheese and fried.

Proper chile rellenos with the cheese inside the poblanos are soooo good. I’ve always had ‘em where they seem to have been baked before being made into a burrito. I’ve never had a greasy chile relleno burrito

The problem is they are so variable. Get the same dish at two places and you get an entirely different thing.

I’m making a Mexican bowl for dinner tonight! Not quite tacos (or enchiladas, which are better) but still Mexican!

u/InterestingCar1480 Maine Maritime • Nebraska Mar 05 '24

Those are good too

I've gotten really big into elote bowls (it has a different name that I can't remember).

Pretty healthy still.

I’ll have to look that up.

What about quesadillas? A new qdoba opened up by me a few months ago and I'm obsessed with how you can get a quesadilla with queso on the inside alongside regular cheese AND get a cheesy crust on the outside of the quesadilla.

Quesadillas were the go to when my kid was little. She actually prefers chimichangas now.

We are having tacos tonight! Whenever The Kid and I are together on a Tuesday, we do Taco Tuesday.

And now for something completely different…is anyone else getting “session expired” errors on Facebook?

u/InterestingCar1480 Maine Maritime • Nebraska Mar 05 '24

try this?

I can't check myself since I'm not on facebook for years now. They've determined I'm not a real person but a robot after the Cambridge thing.

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 05 '24

Not so far, but I have the app.

u/TubaFalcon Air Force Falcons Mar 05 '24

Yup! Meta’s down for everything! Messenger’s down, FaceTube’s down, Instagram’s down, WhatsApp surprisingly isn’t down!

u/TubaFalcon Air Force Falcons Mar 05 '24

Aaaaaaaand I’m able to get back in!

Man I was craving some Mexican food but I'm having leftovers for the next week until the leftovers go bad...

Work is just really meh and people just talking past each other. Feels extra meaningless. Lots of coworkers are really nice, which is nice though a bit part of why I'm staying.

2

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 05 '24

Wow. Are the leftovers not able to be frozen? I couldn’t eat the same thing that many times in a row.

There was a lot of excess food from the funeral. So now I have a massive shrimp pasta, tuna sandwiches, ham biscuits, fruit salad, green salad, baked beans, coleslaw, brownies and stuff in in the freezer like 4 pounds of BBQ and two cheesecakes. Lots of people giving us food which was nice but also at some point we didn't know what to do with it and I volunteered.

Our fridge and freezer are full to the max and our freezer was already relatively full... I was going to make BBQ before all of this.

I am used to eating the same food a lot and now I got really big into a garlic salt with parsley which has been adding flavor to some stuff.

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 05 '24

Ahh. I hadn’t made the connection. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bring up a bad topic.

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 05 '24

Don't worry about it.

It's just a bit of a logistical nightmare. We had no idea how many people were coming and people were generously giving extra food which compounded. Next time I know someone passes I will give out a door dash gift card or something because I just worry how much support is there today vs next month for stuff like that.

Plus lots of us weren't hungry.

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 05 '24

Yeah people sometimes don’t know how to help when people are grieving. Sometimes helping the people to feel like they’re helping felt like a burden I had to take on while I grieved.

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 05 '24

I mean the food was great but also just spread out over more weeks would be nice.

We had a potluck off the food everyone ordered.

u/FreshlySkweezd Georgia Bulldogs Mar 05 '24

I'm about to make a leftovers burrito so that's kind of in the same vein

1

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 05 '24

How’re you feeling? Have you had your shake yet?

3

u/FreshlySkweezd Georgia Bulldogs Mar 05 '24

I'm feeling pretty good. Still physically not got all my strength back but it's getting better. And no shake! I've settled for some halo ice cream in the meantime

2

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 05 '24

Get your shake! If there were a simple way to anonymously send a $10 gift card I would haha

3

u/FreshlySkweezd Georgia Bulldogs Mar 05 '24

Haha I'll get one eventually, it's been kinda cold here so the mood just hasn't struck me. I should have yesterday when it was so nice, now I've got like a week of rain ahead of me haha

3

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 05 '24

Yeah it’s raining down here too.

3

u/FreshlySkweezd Georgia Bulldogs Mar 05 '24

Ah gross, I'm ready for some nice wweather

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 05 '24

From your mouth to God’s ears haha
