Happy National Taco Day!

Today is National Taco Day! Have you had your tacos yet? I'm a huge taco lover. I love tacos just as much as a crackhead loves crack. I usually order them beef fajita on corn tortilla. Add a bit of cilantro, onions, limon, salsa, *guacamole if available* and BAM!! Pretty average right?

Paisanitas to the mouth! 

I almost didn't eat tacos today. My mother was cooking non-taco food. I was like, "How can I NOT eat tacos on National Taco Day?" So on my way back from running some errands, I was determined to eat tacos.

I stopped by this taco place, which ironically is located right next to my gym *Sorry Mr. Gym I shall visit you soon, I promise* I ordered 4 tacos and an Horchata, yum. Because it was Thursday, the tacos were only $1!! DOUBLE WINNING!! They weren't the best, they weren't that bad either but they were under $5, near my house and did the job of fulfilling today's National Taco Day celebration =)   

My mother still doesn't know I ate before I got home -_-

How do you like your tacos?

It's Hump-bate Day!

It's been fun living the bum life. I get to sleep in, catch up on my favorite TV shows, and save $$$ since I kick it right at home. But I'm on week 2 now, should I hit the panic button?

Thankfully I got great people looking out for me. I just have to be a little patient and wait for "the" call.

Can you spot Max?

In the mean time, I've been hitting up the gym more often. I did some cross training today. The treadmill was not cooperating. I got bored so quick, I had to jump on the elliptical then exercise bike to keep it going. Once I got home I made this yummy sandwich. I love to add lots of lettuce and avocado!

Ham sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado and brown spicy mustard. yum!

After I took a shower I hit up a presidential debate watch party near downtown hosted by the Dallas County Democratic Party. There were over 1,100 people in attendance. Once the debate started the crowd was fired up and ready to go! I had a great time.

Grilled P&J Banana Sandwich

Today's morning run didn't happen, oops! **Gotta hit up the gym tonight** My bed was just tooooooo comfy, I couldn't get up! First thing that did come to mind, as I dragged myself out the bed, was what to eat for breakfast. I had the essentials to make a peanut butter and jelly OH-OKAY-YUUH sandwich. Just as I got started, I decided to chopped a banana and throw the whole thing on a pan!!

Hello, I am a p&j banana sandwich. 

The result was a mouth watering p&j banana bam-in-your-mouth wonder! The p&j melted all over the bread, orgasmic! I threw in an egg with tomatoes because I knew the sandwich alone wouldn't fill me up. I was right. Mission accomplished!

I google(d) this afterwards and found out there is a recipe! [Click here]

Enjoy!

Weekend Recap: Grubbing W/ Friends and Shopping!

I had a great weekend! It was so full of friends, laughter, and best of all food!! I kid, the best part was definitely hanging out with friends I hadn't seen in years!

Saturday:
I had dinner at Plucker's with Jarrah, Cruz and Armando. Cruz and Armando were PLUCKER VIRGIN but not no more! Instead of ordering the usual waffle fries as my side, I tried their 'Original Ceaser Salad.' It was 'oh-so-good,' I will definitely be trying it again. I was so full but not like 'ughh-I'm-full-I-hate-myself-full' but more like 'happy-full.'

Sunday:
I had breakfast with one of my good friends,Miriam. She was in town since she works in Houston. I first met her in 7th grade at Greiner Middle School. We both took 'folklorico' as an elective. We went to separate high schools but got back in touch during our years at UT-Austin. We had breakfast at Jonathon's, which by the was was my first time. The food is amazing. We did a little shopping, before she headed back to Houston.

Later on that night I met up with ANOTHER friend I hadn't seen in years! Exenia, or as I knew her in high school as 'X,' went to El Tozoncito. This is one of my favorite taco spots in Oak Cliff. The tacos are always full of flavor. We talked about her recent trip to Africa as a missionary, which had me amazed the whole time. I had great time catching up with her.
