I heated up a can of Old El Paso refried beans. They already taste good because of the spices in them, but I stirred in some queso blanco. Then I ate it with a bunch of Lay's Cheddar & Sour Cream potato chips. I liked the mixture of different textures, and the flavor and saltiness of the chips made the beans taste even better.

I had a baby. In my cake. Now I'm King for a day. Bow before me peasants. ;)  I hope my luck and prosperity holds out for awhile. Next week's cake is on me.

Lunch Sunday was pork loin seasoned with Lane's SPG and Fiesta seasoning.... in the crock-pot with taters, onions, mushrooms, and carrots..... it made a fine gravy too.

Had the leftovers today with fresh homemade biscuits. I had mine open faced with the meat and gravy on top.

A can of red beans & rice with half a bag of breakfast style bacon jerky diced up and stirred into it.

Bakery Shop M&M's. All 3 flavors. I like lemon meringue pie the best, but it would be better if it was kind of tangy instead of so sweet.

Spicy chicken breast chunks with Hidden Valley buttermilk ranch dressing. There was just enough in the bottle for the chicken on my plate. I like when things work out that way.

One third of a package, about 11, peanut butter Oreo cookies. I ate all the peanut butter creme first, then all the cookies. I bought 3 Peanut Butter and 3 Dark Chocolate last week. It was the first time I ever saw DARK chocolate Oreo cookies, and they were all on sale.

Wednesday was 40 lbs of pulled pork seasoned with Lane's Signature rub along with 35 lbs of homemade tater salad and 3 gallons of 'loaded' baked beans.

Yesterday was leftovers from Wednesday with a caramel frappe' thrown in mid-afternoon, just because.

Today was a pack of cheese crackers and a stick of beef jerky around lunch and an early supper of our favorite Tex-Mex in town.

Good times indeed.

I had a can of Wendy's chili with added chili powder. I should throw away the old bottle of spices and get a new one, but I'm too cheap. I threw handfuls of Cheetos Mini Cheddar Jalapeno in my chili, too.

My favorite Mexican restaurant, La Azteca, had a deal this weekend to save 15% off an order of $40 or more, so I got my food for the whole day. I think it's funny that my tip had to be exactly 5.56 to make the total an even $50. 8)  Subtotal - $47.10, Discount - biggame26 -$7.06, Tax - $2.40, Tip - $5.56, Online Platform Fee - $2.00, Total - $50.00. I saved $4.40 by ordering directly from them instead of a delivery service. It's <2 1/2 miles round trip and takes 5 minutes. I'm lazy but not too lazy to get dressed and drive that far. This is the oldest Mexican restaurant in Flint. It was the first Mexican restaurant to open here 60 years ago, and still run by the same family. Being the first of anything in an area settled 207 years ago is special, but staying in business 60 years is a sign of greatness. The ingredients are chopped by hand and everything is made to order.

The Tamale dinner had the option to add Cheese or (Wet) Cheese. Wet cheese? Huh? I guessed it was queso sauce which sounded good to me. I like cheese on almost everything, including tamales. Traditional or not, it's good. So, I had a Tamale Dinner (Wet) Cheese with an extra Tamale (Pulled Pork) for brunch. The dinner came with Beans and Rice and a small Salad. I think it's French dressing or Catalina that they always use but I'm not sure. It's red and really sweet whatever it is. The extra tamale was the real deal wrapped in a corn husk, wrapped in 2 pieces of aluminum foil. Condensed water from the steamer was dripping off the foil when I unwrapped it. They gave me 9 little cups of their home made hot sauce which they once told me was tomatoes and peppers ground together. It's really good, especially on the tacos that made them famous. My friend's wife told me that if you add extra cumin to a packet of taco seasoning, you can make tacos that taste like theirs.

I ate the salad first, then lifted up one of the 2 tamales covered with cheese sauce. I stuck the plain tamale under it and scooped cheese over it and put the other tamale back, then microwaved the whole thing to warm it back up. I have a Chicken Chimichanga Dinner with Queso Blanco for later, and a Burrito Supremo made of Stew Meat. Their stew is beef and potatoes, and I don't know what else, but it's amazing. I don't know if I ever had a burrito with stew meat before, but it sounded good. The other options for this burrito are Ground Beef, Chicken, and Turkey. Gravy is optional, along with extra meat and a dozen different toppings. I went plain with it, and just the burrito, not a dinner. The Chimichanga was available in Chicken or Turkey, with Queso Blanco, extra meat and a dozen other toppings. I put one cup of sauce on the tamales and one on the beans and rice. Look at the size of that burrito. I can hardly wait to eat it.
