Pssssst **Euty** I actually had a tuna salad sandwich for dinner tonight but all this talk of burritos makes me want to go to the store tomorrow to make a bean and cheese burrito smothered in green chile and lettuce and some sour cream Friday night…wanna come for dinner? You bring the Corona and the movie and I will make burritos. \< and they aren’t degassed \> \< snicker \> ---

I don’t like lettuce in my burritos, but it is essential to my enjoyment of a taco. Don’t even get me STARTED on the topic of Cheddar on pizza. Even when I am experiencing a blood sugar crash, I cannot bring myself to eat such an abomination. ---

Whoah, whoah, _whoah!_ I make an innocent and highly accurate remark about the importance of beans in burritos, and someone freaks out and jumps to the conclusion that I’m talking about _pinto_ beans? Gag me with a spoon! (But not the same spoon **techchick** used. That’s unsanitary.) The basic ingredient of any burrito is the black bean. Everything else is just garnish. ---

Well, listen, people, if you take beef and wrap it up in a tortilla, whaddaya got? A **fajita**. And, it’s not Paul’s fault he’s so obsessive about this–his sister _told him_, while she was still in the womb, that you couldn’t get bean, beef, and cheese burritos, so he just wants to know if she’s God, or just some really weird little kid. ---

Actually you know what’s nice? Replace the beans with those big thick wavy french fries. I was shocked by how much a liked it. Potato, tomato, lettuce, sour cream, nice chunky guacamole (made by mom preferably) and cheese. mmmmmmmmm And food is meant to be played with, otherwise it would be so much fun. I mean you just have to, like eating noodle soup with a straw. Until you do that you haven’t really lived. ---

And here I was going to have a lovely day of my usual attempting to find food somewhere at some point in time. And now I want to make real burritos. (with black beans and pico de gallo (I don’t know how its spelled either.)) Hmm…Gullifty’s has that, come to think of it. If I go up to work early and eat a sit down lunch…mmmm… Damn you all. ---
