Taco Bell

I had the brilliant idea to take the family to Taco Bell tonight to avoid having to cook.  Remind me to NEVER do that again.  It might have been the most disgusting meal of my entire life.  I have become my mother.  She used to call McDonald's "McDoo-Doo's" (sorry, mom, you know it's true).  Cooking a nutritious meal is worth the time, hassle and clean-up.  Lesson learned.

Sidenote:  When I asked Jacob where we should go for dinner, he replied, "Anything that's not Chinese, Asian, or Italian is fine with me.  I only like food from Mexico and America."  Note to self: Teach Jacob that China is part of Asia.

    Amen! Glad to know I’m not the only one with affectionate names for fast food restaurants…I can’t think of Jack in the Box without saying “Jack in the crack”…it always stuck and b/c of it I just can’t eat there. I’m sure my heart thanks me! 🙂

    So funny, just last night Caroline and I were trying a new Italian restaurant close by to us and out the window I spotted a Taco Bell. I even said to her “I’m surprised they are still around” and her reply was “Mom, that’s the best LATE NIGHT fast food around”! I guess their unhealthy tacos and burritos are truly appreciated by the college students these days….yuck?!?
    P.S. I miss Luby’s for “not wanting to cook nights”. Unfortunately people in the Midwest associate cafeteria food with Cracker Barrel restaurants; now that’s a sad fact!!

    Ya, he told me during piano that he doesn’t like Chinese food. Then I explained I was Chinese. 🙂 Next time, I’ll tell him I’m Asian as well!

    Meredith: I love Taco Bell. I ate there that very day and had their superb Three Crunchy Taco Supreme Meal, which means you get a large drink with it. I put two FIRE hot sauces on each one. I could eat there twice a day every day and never get tired of it. Your post makes me hungry for it right now.
    I note, by the way, that you do not SHOW why Taco Bell is disgusting, you only TELL it. Your usually vivid writing SHOWS what you are feeling, but a description of Taco Bell’s claimed disgustosity is oddly lacking in your post. I think you still have some fond feelings for Taco Bell and I am pleased to see that Jacob is developing some sophisticated junk food tastes that will stand him in good stead well into his late teens.
    Much love, Pops

    I think I might be able to top your Taco Bell experience. We had Little Ceasar’s last night. There is a very good reason why they only cost $5.55 each!
