Tacos and Pie

Shirley: Shut up, Leonard; I found your YouTube page. What's the point of reviewing frozen pizza?
Leonard: You're talking about it.
Shirley: That is true... 


I'm using the above quote from Community to argue that the following entry is not entirely irrelevant. You can decide for yourself whether or not the argument works.

Sometimes I don't feel like going upstairs for a sandwich during my lunch break, and I won't eat from anywhere in the food court other than the sandwich place, so I just skip lunch or grab a pretzel from next door. Yesterday was one of those days. I ate my free pepperoni pretzel and then told myself I'd go across the street after work for some tacos. Del Taco has a 3 for $1 deal on Tuesdays, and tacos always sound good to me. I texted my boyfriend saying I'd bring him lunch too.

As it turned out, the deal is a "Taco Nights" deal. I panicked for a second, but at Del Taco it seems night starts at 3, which is luckily when I get off work. I noticed that the "regular tacos" were 3 for $.99 and the "classic tacos" were 3 for $1.99. The only difference is tomato. I don't know why Taco Bell and Del Taco charge extra for tomato (but the Taco Supreme at Taco Bell has sour cream too, right?) but I bought three of the classic tacos for my boyfriend because unlike me, he likes tomato. I still got six tacos for $3.19 total, so I don't really care. That's a deal even if their sauce is a little spicy for my taste.

Then at home we had chicken fajitas for dinner. Tacos and the recipe we use for chicken fajitas are two of the few Mexican meals I actually enjoy, so it was a good day. I ate the leftover fajita chicken while watching MasterChef. That show makes me hungry for some weird reason. As if it's about food or something....

Tonight I worked the closing shift which ends at about 9. I told my boyfriend I wanted to try to get out of there as soon as possible and make it to Pie Rush at Village Inn. If you have a Perkins in your town, you probably don't know what a Village Inn is, because they have a hard time existing in the same area. Same basic place though. Breakfast and pie. Village Inn does this thing where you can get a free slice of pie every Wednesday between 10 and 10, but it's only good for their fruit pies and the featured pie of the month. This being the last Wednesday of the month, I wanted to try the Peach Supreme before it was gone. It was a good idea, but they were out by the time we made it. I had Lemon Supreme instead. The one failure of this pie is the whipped cream on top. You give me lemon pie, I want meringue. Enough said.

To sum up, I really like food. I also had a delicious grilled Italian Sub today from the sandwich place in the food court. The girl whose name I don't know makes the best sandwiches.

That's all I have for today. I hope you like food too.

  2. Tacos and pie are two of the best foods out there. I'm not a big taco bell fan, but I do really like their mild sauce, so I feel your pain with the whole not liking the sauce thing. A lot of them are really too spicy. Also I completely agree about the pie. Lemon was made to be paired with meringue. Too bad they were out of the peach.
