What? What do you do when your spouse goes out of town?

I make delicious Mexican feast... *updated* perez hilton style

All this - and it's made with turkey meat and 2% cheese...but 100% delicious...mmm...

Disaster at Lunch (brought to you with lots of INTERNET YELLING)

I'm on(well, was) on a tight deadline today. Had much to get finished before taking off for the rest of the holiday week. Plus, I have to make sure I'm outta here to pick up a certain family member from the airport by 3:30...doesn't fit very well with the tight deadline (but obviously I got it done early since I'm blogging about it now).

ANYWAY, I had to make a quick lunch decision. I was starving, my creativity was flailing, something had to be done... IMMEDIATELY.

Now, internet, I usually would just run down (okay, okay I'd drive) to the Subway less than a mile from the SC offices, however, that would involve 2 stoplights AND getting out of the car - obviously taking up too much of my precious time. In fact, it would take up so much more time (probably a whole 7 minutes more) that I rationalized that the Hardees/Red Burrito (the one that is only 2 doors down WITH a drive thru) was the only option. I mean, really, how bad could one, yes ONE bean and cheese burrito be? I mean at Taco Bell it's only 7 WW points, so I'm willing to blow up to 10 or even 12, after all this is a food/work deadline emergency.

Well, it's only after enjoying my delicious burrito and completing my deadline that I find time to look up nutritional info online. Imagine my HORROR when I discover that it is not 7, 10, 12, 15, or even 18 points. No, friends, it's 22 points - for ONE, (did I mention that?) ONE burrito = 22 points.

Guess this means I won't be able to eat the rest of the week.. such a pity with Thanksgiving in two days and all...

PS - To clarify, this was not a burrito the size of your head. It was only a little bigger than a 7 point Taco Bell gem.

PPS. - THIS IS NOT FAIR HARDEES.

For your viewing enjoyment/dismay, I've decided to share my perfect Chipotle/Qdoba burrito:

It's a work of art, isn't it? Although, I do at times feel challenged by the black vs. pinto bean debate - usually managing to royally pi$$ off the 18 people in line behind me as I oscillate back and forth between the two (indecision may or may not be my problem).

Too bad you really can only eat about 1/8 of it without using up all your calories for the week in one shot, so, please sign this. The world needs smaller burritos, people!

Happy Mexican Food Monday everyone and, no, I really do not have this much time on my hands in case you were wondering.
