Tacos!

Oh man. The Taco of the Month is the Ace of Spades. This is the BEST taco I have EVER eaten. 8" flour tortilla, jalapeno sausage, brisket, fried egg, cheese, queso, sour cream and diablo sauce. You only need to order this one.

http://www.torchystacos.com/ for the uninitiated. It's at Preston and Forest and at lunch during the week is packed (for good reason).

Pic (not mine). Looks like a mess, but it's a flavor explosion.

I'm sorry, that's not on my diet.

...will remember this for the next time we're in the area. We could do our next lunch meet here?

Cheat meal today (finally pushed a release we've been struggling with for about 4-5 months last night and this morning, so celebration was in order).

You can't be good all the time... and this was easily 5x better than a smashburger.

ETA: I also burned > 4500 calories both Saturday and Sunday, so I'm good Also as of right now, I've burned 2000 calories today and burned almost 3700 yesterday.

I remember the days when I used to burn calories. I bet I don't burn more than 200 or so per day now days, unless working on my car, then maybe 300.

I loved riding my mountain bike but I cannot get to my favorite park anymore, due to transporting it. I need to break down and put a hitch on my wifes CR-V and stop making excuses. I miss the days of doing a 90 mile ride and then going to Macaroni grill and eating about 2000 calories worth of pasta and bread, I used to scarf down 2 full loaves of bread and a monster pasta dish and then go home and eat more.

Now it takes me 3 days to metabolize a cup of coffee...

I think the "when you're drunk" has a lot to do with the goodness The times I've retraced my steps, the stuff I did never is as fun or tastes as good . Don't get me wrong, I love a roach coach taco... but that ace of spades is something special.
