Girl I've been dating made me cinnamon roll tres leches cake last weekend.  I think she might be a keeper.  It was delicious.

Mine made me Chicken n Dumplings from scratch.
Yeah I'm keeping her

Tried BK's new Impossible Whopper today and for over $6 I was not impressed..

Wasn't impressed with the last regular Whopper I tried, but I took that more as a reflection of the BK by my house.

 I think I might go to Chili’s today to get a good burger. Here’s the weird thing, there’s all types of great green chili cheeseburgers here in the great state of New Mexico. I just wonder why Chili’s doesn’t have their own green chili cheeseburger. The closest we have to that is the chicken and waffles which is oddly topped with jalapeños but there you go.

That is kinda weird. If our McDonalds can pull it off, you'd think a restaurant named Chili's with a Chili Pepper as its logo would make a green chili cheeseburger.

That said, the best in town is the Ranchero burger at Bob's Burgers.

Ever tried Laguna burger Pak? Their Green Chili Cheeseburgers pack a punch. Whataburger's Green Chili Cheeseburgers are also awesome. Yesterday I went to Chili's and they still AFAIK don't have a green chili burger, so I got the Alex's burger which has all kinds of good stuff on it including pepper jack. It was pretty delicious. You know I can pretty much universally vouch for them as always making some of the best food I have ever had in a restaurant.

We had enough eating KFC so I tried something different last night. It's called cozido and simply a very good mixture of boiled meats, sausages and vegetables. I took this recipe from an old woman in a small village in Algarve when we've been to Portugal in 2013 in order to buy house in Algarve. My wife loved it so much but I can't be sure if she really loved it or talking like this to make me cook more frequent..

I might be the only one who cares, but the Honey Barbecue Chicken Wing has returned to KFC. It's my favorite fast food item of all time.

That is so awesome! Not for my diet, but it is awesome!

there are two garbage fast foods i still crave from back home: beef & cheese burrito from taco time, and honey bacon club from quiznos.

I really miss Quiznos, we had 2 of them in the area something like 6 years ago, now the nearest one would be a 2 hour round trip.

Okay, those of you trying to cut sugar out of your diet... yah, it totally sucks. Anyway I found out that Werther's sugar free candy is actually pretty damn good. I mean it still has calories which seems to all come from "sugar alcohols"... which for me begs the question "uhhhh I thought it said sugar free?". Apparently under the law and FDA standards sugar alcohols somehow don't count as sugar.

sugar alcohols are alcohols derived from sugars. they aren't sugars. you don't absorb them in the same way, and that difference can lead to diarrhea.
