The Editor's Mess

Don't know what I'm in the mood to eat for lunch today.  The thing is, ever since we moved into our new offices I've been a bit overwhelmed by my new lunch options.  There's a Subway pretty close, and that's cool, and there's that awesome Mexican place down the road, but I don't feel like driving too far.  There's also that Thai buffet, which is really awesome, but it's a bit pricey and I don't wanna spend that much.  Yeah, I'm thinking Chipotle.

It's spicer than Qdoba, although one time I did find like three pieces of bone in my chicken burrito.  The rest of it was delicious.  For a long time I thought they were owned by the same company: I mean they're basically identical except for the spices.  But they're different companies.

Been watching the calories lately, so this will be a nice indulgence.  I like my soup n' salad ritual, but every now and then you gotta treat yourself.   Otherwise, what's the point?

This morning, I was watching this infomercial for something called the "insanity workout."  The guy pitching it was really high-energy and I could tell how he got all those people to sweat so hard.  He was in really good shape, and even watching stuff like that can motivate me to eat healthier and work out an extra ten minutes.  But I was watching that at like 5am this morning 'cause I was up with the baby. 

Yeah, I'm still thinking Chipotle.

Don't really get selling workouts like this to people.  You can see what he's doing, pretty much just copy him and you got it right?  What do I really get for my $50?  Maybe it's more motivating to watch it over and over?  I suppose.

Anyway, I was reading someplace that Mexican food has become the most popular food in the United States, which makes it even more confusing that Arizona is trying to stop Mexican people from coming here.  I think they totally should!  Who knows Mexican food better than the people who eat it everyday?  Plus they know how to cook real Mexican food too, which just has to be better than a lot of the stuff Americans call "Mexican food."

I don't know that for a fact, but isn't that always the case?  Still when I was in Mexico about ten years ago, I did have some amazing tacos, and the tequila was totally off the chain!

That was the first time I ate the worm.  It didn't taste like chicken.   It totally tasted like tequila.

I think I'm gonna have the chicken burrito like I had last time.  I love mixing some pico de gallo and hot salsa together; the taste is amazing.  Plus I might even splurge and get some guacamole too.

I love it when avacados are in season!
