Dude, I like food. :) what an intelligent title

I haven't been posting much on here.  I've ate a lot of damn good food.  Every day I cook at home at least once on some days it can be up to 4 or 5 times depending on what i'm up to physically, most of the time I try and snap a photo if I can of the food that makes up who I am.  Right now I'm about to watch a movie but I figured I'd post what I ate for lunch and dinner.  Pretty soon I'll have a massive post. With everything  from the last month or so.

I came back for seconds with a roasted a jalapeño

The food is gone. All I am left with is a few sips of wine, a full belly and a smile.

Salt and Vinegar rant.

Lately my biggest weakness towards eating calories I don't need has been salt and vinegar chips. I buy a steady supply at Freah n Easy, Trader Joes's and Cost Plus.  Recently I found myself at Big lot's.  They usually do not sell any brand of salt and vinegar  chips.  Today they had 5 different types.  (Sweet) Then I read the ingredients and every single one of them contained milk.  WTF,  Why?  So I started looking at ingredients on other packages and flavors and none of them contained dairy unless they were  cheese flavored.    I don't get it.  In protest I will not eat any salt and vinegar chips for at least the next 20 minutes.

40 Burritos For $9

Burrito's oh how I love thee.

Along time ago I was in a polygamist burrito or pizza a day diet for about 6 months.  They were some of the happiest days of my life.  As time progressed the burrito and I slowly drifted a part as I spent  more and more meals with pizza.

Sadly Burrito and I were headed in separate directions and I went over 3 months without it in my world.

A few weeks ago  Burrito came back into my life and it was as if it had never left.  One night I cooked up 24 Burrito's for dinner and for the next 2 weeks it felt like we were on our honeymoon.  Pizza was still in the mix but burrito and I were now  together everyday.

24 Burrito's is not nearly enough for one man.  This time I decided to make 40.  My goal was to spend less than $10.  I Headed out to the $.99 and to the farmers market for my ingredients.

The assembly line

I wished I had bigger tortillas

Dinner

I also ate another burrito after I finished this plate.  By my calculations each burrito should be about 220 calories.  I put the remaining supply in the freezer 

36 burritos

That should last me a few days

Not a bad deal for $9 but I can do better

Next time I plan to make 50 burritos for $6 . I'm gonna try and make my tortillas's from scratch for the first time
