| Trader Jose's
It's been a while since I've eaten something that's been blog worthy!! HOWEVER, last Wednesday as I was cooking for the 4th Annual Thanksgiving Potluck my roommate was making lunch and offered to make me one. Being the one making the food for the evening, knowing what was going in the dishes....I figured I should save the calories and just wait till dinner. HOWEVER, my roommate insisted, and after careful consideration (i was STARVING!!! and the thought of waiting another 5 hours till dinner was making me feel sad....(i LOVE food)...) ONE BITE and MAAAAAN OH MAN I WAS SOLD!!!! Trader Joe's (or rather Trader Jose's as the packages label read...) Truly Handmade Flour Tortillas are THE BEST TORTILLAS IN THE WORLD!!! They taste so fresh!!! and AUTHENTIC!!! my roommates even said that it tasted like the tortillas that her grandma and mom made when they were little.
Whether eaten plain, or with cheese as in a quesadilla, or with bacon & cheese as in a wrap. In one sitting my roommate, SANDRA, and her fiancee, ricardo, ate the WHOLE PACKAGE....each package comes with 12. I ate two of the 12....so between her and her fiancee....they ate 10!!! dang!!! So SINCE I've been thinking about her tortillas, pondering other various ways to enjoy said tortillas........and TODAY i spent an HOUR driving to different Trader Joe's and i tracked down those tortilla's. I bought 3 packages and my roommates (sans Brenda....she was out) and PIGGED OUT!! yummy!! they taste GREAT with queso fresca, regular cheese, turkey, and I haven't tried it yet...but I can't wait to try it with a fresh turkey wrap!!! YUMMY!!! and WHILST trolling around on the internet I found out they make burrito sized tortillas too!!! YIKES!!! Sandra and I both DROOOOOOLLLLLLLLED over it!!!
So!!! If you like mexican food...REAL mexican food.....go out to your neighborhood trader joe's and pick yourself up a pack of Truly Handmade Flour Tortillas!!! I HIGHLY recommend it as do my roommates, who've actually eaten real handmade tortillas!!!!!

| Make a run for the border...
As the days get progressively less bearable my diet become evermore indulgent and DEFINITELY less healthy!! So, one of my ALL time favorite foods at the moment (although its only MARGINALLY ahead of my other favorites) is TACO BELL!!! So after yet another long hard day at work filled with unusually unpleasant events i was finally pushed OVER the edge upon reaching my apartment....so of COURSE....i headed back out after i put my stuff away in search of the infamous 4TH meal....although for me it wasn't my 4th meal....it was my 3rd...even though it was PAST 9:30PM.
After getting lost (i thought it was on Pico Blvd....when really i was stinking driving up and down OLYMPIC!!) i finally reach my destination and order my usual!! 3 crunch tacos!! I usually order less to control my appetite because I'm SURE i can put away a whole family meal of crunchy tacos (thats 10) all by myself in one sitting! I felt adventurous so i got a quesadilla too. MAN were the tacos YUMMY!!! just the right amount of "meat" filling the lettuce was still crunchy, the chese was JUST right!! not too much, not too less. and the taco shells were PERFECT!! not cracked in half, not soggy and DEFINATELY not soaked in oil like some other places!! :D it was SOOOO delicious!! i always opt for the FIRE sauce....but then i LOVE spicy foods. The Quesadilla was a mistake though...it was gross!! instead of the real cheese inside...(like the cheese on top of the tacos) they use liquidy cheese...kind of like nacho cheese...which is MAINLY why i dont like nachos!!! i HATE cheese i can drink....(unless it's melted cheese....then its DELISH!!) Also i ordered the grilled steak quesadilla and they gave me the grilled chicken on instead...so bad i didn't realize till i got home...but it's all good.
I should have opted for the grilled taquitos!! it has real cheese inside and the "steak" is just the right amount. I've also tried the soft tacos which was pretty good...but i think theres too much tortilla...but some people like that. (although this may be blasphemous to taco bell fans...i personally enjoy the soft tacos at del tacos a little more...simply because their tortillas are a little smaller...). I'm all about moderation...not too much, and not too less!
So some other tasty treats at taco bell that everyone should try (besides the foods mentioned above) include the mexican pizza, the gordita, and the grilled steak (or chicken) burrito! YUMMY!!
Two things i DEFINITELY want to try in the future are the Crunch Wraps! It looks so tasty and convenient too!! and the fiesta salad express!! It has everything i like about the tacos in it EXCEPT no shell... :D (i dont like tortilla chips...i dont know why...) I'll have to order that on a day I don't feel like eating shell...but without the beans and sour cream!! bleh... :D
- Happy indulging!!
*edit*
of course i kicked back my ENTIRE meal with a COLD tasty COKE zero!!! :D yummy!! what else would i drink?

| Ode to Food - a Panda Experience
I just had my first Panda Experience since my office moved to west hollywood and MAN ALIVE do I didn't realize how good it was. After a loong hard day at work...and randomly getting lost on my way back from work (i drove for too long on sunset and missed my turn onto veteran....it was dark...i didn't see....its a long story). So after circling around for what seemed like hours...but really was only 20 minutes...i FINALLY made it back to my apartment. Feeling quick STARVED and disgruntled and GRUMPY...i followed my mom's suggestion and decided to go buy dinner instead of making the usually I got home to late to cook a real dinner meal which consists of a variety of ramens....and what else did i decide to eat but PANDA EXPRESS!!!
It's always such a TREAT to get yourself a TWO ITEM combo to GO to eat in the comforts of your own home!!! I got the chow mein...along with the broccoli beef and mandarin chicken (which really is Teriyaki Chicken). Although, if my day was WORSE i would have gotten the broccoli beef with ORANGE chicken!!! it seems more indulgent to me....it being battered and fried..*SLURP* YEAH well...i'm one who EATS my emotions...so i take MUCH comfort in food!!! YUMMY!!! by food we know that there is a GOD and that He is GREAT indeed!!! i was tempted to try the "new" thai spicy chicken...but i decided against trying the new stuff and sticking to the old faithfulls....i didn't want to risk it tasting YUCKY which would in turn leave me grumpy again!!!
I dont know what it is about Panda Express's Chow Mein....it's SOO GOOD!!! the noodles are a GREAT consistency and texture, and the flavoring is soooo uniquely panda!!! other places either have their chow mein....too soft and mushy, or too bland, or tooo much veggies, or too GREASY (ew some places the chow mein sits in a POOL of oil!! its gross...and not a yummy gross). But Panda's has the perfect bite to the noodles, not TOO much veggies...but enough to have that satifying CRUNCH...and it's not too salty and DEFINATELY not too greasy (although im not fooling myself...they probably use lotsa oil too!!!). their broccoli beef always comes with broccoli thats been marinating in that beef juice so its soft (but not mushy yet...) it still has a bit of BITE left to it...and the beef eh...well thats typical...and the two chickens? YUMM-O!! the orange chicken has got a really YUMMY tangy-ness to it!!! and the batter is NOT ridiculously thick like some other places have!!! Yum!! what a YUMMY way to end a otherwise CRUMMY day!!!
