Truly Desperate!

For crying out loud, get the desperate housewives out of my FACE! What is it with this show? How did these chicks become God's gift to television in 11 episodes? I even saw it written about somewhere using the word "groundbreaking." Are you kidding me? How can this show call itself "T.V.'s steamiest hour?" Put it on HBO and actually show me something, and then we'll talk. I don't watch the show. I dabbled a bit in the first few episodes. Eva Longoria is hot. The rest are forgettable. The writing is so "cheeseball cupcake calling itself saucy" it's ridiculous. But whatever, the show is a show and it is enjoyable for many people.

But ladies, please... enough with the public appearances!!

We're sick of seeing you walking the red carpet at the Deuce Bigalow: Eurpean Gigolo premiere.

We're sick of turning on ET and hearing your soundbites from Oprah's "Give money to my rich friends with problems" charity event.

We're sick of your "what I'm reading this summer" lists in the People Magazine "useless info" section.

We're just sick of it all.
Too much Nicollette!
Too much Teri!
Marcia Cross, sit down and wipe that crazy, smirky, "I'm a martian with sex appeal" look off of your flat face.

Eva, you can stick around a little longer.

It's not seafood, it's "surf" food

If only they made fish tacos in Gerber jars! (Eewww...) It would have to be a #3 so you could get a little of that crispy coating. Oh well, I'll have to wait a little bit longer for that. In the meantime, I'll just dress the part.

Do you realize how hard it is for me to leave this in the morning?

It was intentional...

Okay, for the smarties who thought that I had a typo in the last burrito post by leaving the "o" out of the word "tacos?"... You're wrong. The word was supposed to be "tacs." It's kind of like "Whatevs" and "Sevs Elevs" and "Chix McNugs."

You'll catch on soon enough.

Grill the burrito!!

Why can't anyone else take Baja Fresh's lead and grill their burritos? It is far and away the most enjoyable way to eat a burrito. We got all excited when a Q'doba finally opened up near us last month. No, they don't have fish tacos and they don't even have soft corn tortillas (they have soft flour and crunchy corn) but hey, this is massachusetts suburbia we're talking about here, beggars can't be choosers.

Anyway, Q'doba's "thing" is supposed to be their "signature burritos," so we thought that at least those should be good. But then they go ahead and STEAM the tortillas when they make them, creating what can only be described as a soft, sticky, humid, wonder-bread-stuck-to-the-top-of-your-mouth kind of burrito experience.


Granted, by steaming the tortillas, it prevents them from falling apart - an annoying problem you get from places like Mo's, who do nothing to their wraps. But grilling the burrito (post-assembly) is really the way to go. It makes for a solid burrito that doesn't fall apart but also adds a tiny tad of crispiness and just sort of fuses and consumates the entire creation perfectly. That is one of the big reasons why Baja Fresh has superior burritos.


Taco Bell is the only other place (around here) that has implemented the grilled burrito, but of course, the "taco bellness" of it makes it inferior in other ways. There are other places in SoCal that do it right (La Salsa, Pequito Mas) but they are not around here (sob sob). Who knows what Rubio's does b/c it's all about the fish tacs when you go there.

Anyway, Q'doba has a ways to go before mastering their art. Unfortunately I don't think the folk around here know any better so we manutia-critical peeps are in the minority.

The 'dobs can be worked to a decent product if you go when they are not crowded and give a little direction (they need to tone down the rice quantity, et. al.).

Will give more updates on other menu items when I try them.
