I'm a PIG

On our anniversary Rodney took me out to lunch. Of course I was craving Mexican (I think I could eat chips and salsa for every meal and snack everyday). We decided to try a new restaurant, so we stopped into one by 121 called Abuelo's. From the interstate it doesn't really pop out at you, so I was a little worried that we might be spoiling our anniversary by going to some dive of a chain, but I was feeling adventurous so we went. As we drove up we realized that it was a nice building with great landscaping- the only problem was that it was located at the very end of a strip mall next to a vacant restaurant. When we walked inside I was so excited, they had a big fountain in the middle and painted skies on the ceiling- it reminded me of Si Senor back in New Mexico. As we sat down I told Rodney that I knew I liked the place already. The chips and salsa were GREAT, and then the kicker- the menu had a burrito for $5.99 that could be covered in any sauce- AND THEY HAD GREEN CHILI!!!!!! Oh beautiful, wonderful, succulent green chili. How have I lived so close to you for 3 years and never know you were within my reach! I was bouncing in my seat as I waited for them to bring me my burrito. And then it came- the mother of all burritos- Huge and beautiful! The waiters laughed when they saw my face as I looked at the sheer size of the thing. They told me they had only seen one person eat the whole thing. I was so ecstatic that I would have left overs to savor that night, and probably the next day. Rodney put his next to mine (he ordered a different, more expensive burrito) and asked why he got the baby one. He tried a couple bites of mine and we both decided it tastes like Taco Box (another of my New Mexico favorites). I was so busy enjoying the lunch, company, and conversation that when I looked down and discovered that I only had about three bites left I was stunned. HOW DID I EAT THAT WHOLE THING! Plus I had two baskets of chips and salsa, a side of beans, flan, and three Diet Cokes. The check said 1 lb Burrito- $5.99, so when I got home I had to weigh myself. To my dismay I found that I weighed 2 lbs more than I did that morning! No worries though- today I am a pound less than I started that day! Boy- I can not get in a habit of eating there though!! And of course the rest of the day was QUITE A GAS!
