Thinking Outside The Bun

I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I have Taco Bellophobia. Now, let me clarify. I am not afraid of Taco Bell itself. I want to love Taco Bell. Rather, I'm actually afraid of their menu.

When I hear "Can I take your order, please?", I go into panic. I'm completely overwhelmed by their menu. What is Baja? Supreme? Why do they have a volcano menu? And, what the heck is an Enchirito??? I breathe deep and order the same thing I've ordered my whole life. "2 Beef crunchy tacos, please." *sigh*

So, last week we drove through the drive-thru and I let Nathan order for me. He got me a chicken chalupa supreme, and it may have changed the way I order.

I think I'm finally ready to think outside the bun. Please, educate me. What do you order at Taco Bell?

Think outside the bun with me. And, no refried beans, please.

Just don't have a repeat performance of yacking up a chicken soft taco in a minivan. I never will forget having to hose the rugs off.... in case you don't remember, those things look about the same after eating them as before....

No one should ever eat taco bell! Sober, anyway.

Beef meximelt, nacho supreme(no sour cream), Mexican pizza, or crunch wrap supreme (no sour cream). Any will fill the tummy nicely! Good luck!

I don't understand the menu either. I oredered "Baja" once and it tasted okay, so I say Baja now every time.

At the hospital - LIVE UPDATES

Image
Hello, blog readers! I am blogging live from the hospital with Nathan as my guest blogger. If anyone is awake out there, you can feel free to check out my blog for updates throughout my hospital visit. I was having contractions at home so we were sent to the hospital around 10pm for observation. I was dilated to 3cm when I arrived. They made me walk two 40-minute rounds which felt like a marathon for me. I didn't have any shoes on and got to wear a super cute hospital gown though. Essentially, I'm here for false labor. But, they are afraid to send me home because of how quickly I go into labor so I'm staying to be induced. ---- This is Nathan - it's 2:11 AM. Amber just got her epidural. She's at 4 cm. Her blood pressure just dropped to 80 / 43 and we had a bit of a scare. She thought she was going to pass out and had some nausea. Feeling better now. 2:35 AM. 2:55am Working to start Pitocin (drug to speed up contractions) because the ba...

Kennedy's Corner: The BIG FIVE

Happy birthday, Kennedy!!!!      To our sweet & fun girl! She's 5 today!  She LOVES to dress up whether it's jewelry, fancy clothing, or princess stuff.   Here's her latest-- a pink fur coat and sequins skirt.   Classy! She's nurturing.  She loves playing "mommy" to her baby dolls and caring for other people.  She loves to sing ( and I mean constantly ).   She is thoughtful and compassionate and loves to pray for others.  She can be headstrong and difficult too (just like her mother) but we're working together on that!    She goes to Pre-K 5 mornings a week and loves her teacher and school.   Her favorite foods are cheese quesadillas, pepperoni, and Ritz crackers.   Her favorite show is Curious George.   She's also obsessed with dogs whether it's pretending to be one, begging us to buy one, playing with a toy one, or asking every stranger in the city if she can pet th...
