When I said "mini-cleanse," what I meant was, "I should stay away from bourbon for a few days." Um, and burritos.*I would never give up food. And I don't even know how to work our juicer.**
*I was in San Francisco for the weekend. Wheat is a migraine trigger for me, and you can't make a burrito without a big flour tortilla. But it's impossible for me to leave SF without eating at least one. This time I had two.
**Basically, I'm the husband in the marriage. I act all bumbling in the kitchen so that H-town is forced to wait on me. Every once in a while I slip up and prepare a meal and he remembers I know how to cook, but usually it works like a charm.

gah. I bought my bf a juicer for his bday last june. You're right carrots have magic in them.
ReplyDeleteI pretend to not understand the big flashy machine so he cam make me the lovely carrotey ginger skin healing potion.
exactly.
ReplyDeleteSee, I assumed that by "cleanse" you meant vodka and grapefruit juice. What? It's healthy.
ReplyDeleteVodka is def one of the "cleansing" alcohols. Can be used as a toner, an odor remover (far superior to Febreze), and certainly as a bourbon detox.
ReplyDeleteWhat about bean burritos? Beans are good for you, just forget they have a ton of lard in them.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't give up Maker's Mark, though Mouse has a very good point...
It's the *wheat* that I really can't eat, sadly. But I'm only off Maker's until the weekend :)
ReplyDeleteNext time you're in SF, consult BurritoEater.com -- it's hilarious and right-on.
ReplyDeleteWow. BurritoEater tells me La Cumbre was "the de rigueur choice in the Mission through the mid-’90s." I left in '91, so maybe I'm just clinging to the past.....
ReplyDeleteBut glad to know Joey Ramone was also a fan: http://tiny.cc/9XLxj
My boyfriend lived in San Francisco for a while and all I heard about was the burritos there! He lived in The Mission and couldn't get enough of them :)
ReplyDeleteburrito bowl. I know the totally amazing hole-in-the-wall places don't usually make em, but you can get all the fixin's on a plate and save the +200 and the headaches by skipping the tortilla!
ReplyDeleteWheat is a migraine trigger for me as well! The smell of those flour tortillas alone gives me a headache. I'm more of a steak torta kind of gal.
ReplyDeleteOh my. I just nearly fell off my chair at the 'act all bumbling in the kitchen' bit. I feel like someone's been spying on me.
ReplyDeleteBesides, men in aprons are hella sexy.
