Then dipped in mayo.


Last weekend, I stopped by Chipotle, and some rather, um, large woman, to put it very politely, ordered a burrito bowl (no tortilla, because that's not necessarily healthy, you know). And then proceeded to ask for "lots and lots of cheese and sour cream." *facepalm*

I was on Chipotle's site, and their burrito tortillas are 290 calories. I'm decided to get the bowls now. But I'm not fooling myself, the meal without the tortilla still comes to just over 800 calories with what I put on it. Actually, I think the bowls are have more stuff in them than the burritos, so it's probably worse off. Still, I can say that I tried to be "healthier."

Did she say no torilla because it isn't healthy or is that your interpretation? She may not be able to comfortably hold a burrito in her fat fingers and that's why she chooses the bowl option.

That might have been the reason. Not. Kidding.

I really think she was on a "diet." *stifled laugh* nah, f it, full-blown knee-slapper guffaw.

And honestly, Chipotle (and Subway) is a decent "fast-food" healthy option. They do have all the foods from the magical pyramid, no it's not the healthiest, but it's decent.

Edit: chicken burrito, no beans, med salsa, cheese, lettuce, corn. That's it. And of all the additions, I gotta have my lettuce.

It may just be too messy to eat it in a wrap when you load it up with "lots and lots of cheese and sour cream." Less mess in a bowl. Or she coudl be sesitive to gluten and not care for their corn tortillas like me. That's why I get their burrito bowls.

This is the marketing aspect that I love about Chipotle (and Qdoba/others like it) - because they tout the freshness and environmental sustainability of their ingredients, people are dumb enough to believe it's better for you than a Big Mac. It's like those 1000-calorie salad/bottled water combos that McDonalds peddled for awhile (It has lettuce! It's good for you!).

On the occasions I find myself in Chipotle, I usually do pulled pork, rice, black beans, and medium salsa. I figure that's do-able once a month.

Yay! It MIGHT not rain tomorrow, or threaten to rain, or look like rain at any point during the day! Finally!

Well, summer will be here this week, from what I've seen. And for the locals: Psycho Suzi's gets a thumbs up.

Because for some reason they now get away with open pipes with no muffler. Back when I rode, that was a quick ticket. Not sure what ever happened to the noise ordinances.

Depends on the city, from what I hear. Some enforce it, some don't.

But either way, if it's a real bike, not some crotch-rocket, it's a beautiful sound.
