Muad’Dib, I’d like to help (so at least _somebody_ answers seriously), but I don’t know anything about burritos. Maybe you should look up the company that makes them and see if they have a web site? techchick68 said: > [@](#): > > Ferrous a bachelor that can cook gets laid on the first date. NOW she tells me.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Muad’Dib \* > I really do want to know why you can’t find been beaf and cheese burritos. Because beef and cheese are governed by the FDA, whereas beans are controlled by the Agriculture Department. In December 1977 a congressional committee was convened to decide which department would be in charge of examining a bean, beaf and cheese burrito. After much expert testimony Frank Church, the well-known senator from Idaho, and a staunch defender of the flag and the union for which it stands, stood forth and delivered an impassioned plea to stop the hearing so congressmen could go home to celebrate the holidays. The matter was shelved and has remained so ever since. Yet hope is still a flickering flame in the breast of the BB&C burrito lovers, as shown by the Kwizatz Haderach’s post. ---

Just to comemorate the occasion: [li]11-29-2001 06:21 PM, **Muad’Dib** tries this topic in **GQ** again.[/li][li]11-29-2001 07:33 PM (actually shortly thereafter) the thread is locked.[/li] Manomanoman.

The recipe sounds pretty good, actually, given that my husband loves those frozen burritoes and likes to have them on hand. But “flash freeze until solid”? How do I flash freeze? {Administrator hat ON} **Muad’Dib** , do not call moderators jerks for doing their jobs. Or shortly you will lose your posting privileges.

Lynn, It’s not what we would think…I thought you might need something like a bunch of dry ice but apparently it’s pretty basic: > [@](#): > > 1. Line one or more cookie sheets with waxed paper. > 2. Place items to freeze in a single layer, not touching. > 3. Place cookie sheet(s) in the freezer (uncovered) until the items are solidly frozen, usually 2 - 3 hours. > 4. Remove from the freezer and quickly prepare items for permanent freezer storage and return to the freezer.

[hijack] Flash freezing is great for things that you might only want a little of at a time. I did this for strawberries last season. Now, I can take out sliced strawberries to use in my “sweet” breads, cereals, and the like. I also used it for the field peas out of the garden. Now I can just open up my ziplock and take out what I need.[/hijack] ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by techchick68 \* > **Ferrous a bachelor that can cook gets laid on the first date.** In what universe? I’ve cooked for women many times, and very often I didn’t even get a godd-night handshake. (And yes, I’m damn good in the kitchen.) Though I must say, if I cook for my current sweetie, she often wants a hot dog for dessert. 😛 > [@](#): > > \*\*[Of course a lot of bachelors don’t even know what a pan is. 😉 \*\* Almost every single male I know can cook.
