Only time corn tortillas are equal to flour is when you fry them. They get much more pliable, and don't break so easily and I think they actually taste good.

grilling em over flame works too, but ya, 'corn' tortilla is best enjoyed when it's a combo corn/flour tortilla

Yea, I think it just involves heating them up. Get them hot, and they are so much better. I remember they weren't terrible when we'd wrap a huge stack in foil, and throw them in the toaster oven for a while, because fuck frying 20+ for taco night. Takes forever!

Had the leftover one. Less Firestone Tire-ee. Much better. I also read online that this happens when the corn sours or tortilla has been around too long as well. I don't think they were spoiled or anything, I just have sensitive tastes to a lot of stuff and I think I just got a huge burst of it.

Cilantro also tastes like soap to me 75% of the time.

Getting ready to hit Olive Garden for my first Pasta Pass pasta bowl. I've been fasting* for 24 hours. My body is ready.

I raise you a fried spam grilled cheese sandwich (melt).
That sounds delicious. I had never tried spam until I started dating my fiance just over 5 years ago. She's Filipino and those flips love some fucking spam. Fried up nice and crispy...I love it. The jalapeno one is probably my favorite. I'm down for the Spam grilled cheese!

Decided to swing by the frozen food section to try that Wicked Kitchen Mac n' Cheese in a box again and they had a new flavor.

Was better than the hatch chili flavor as is although I like my mac and cheese well, pretty cheesy, so I threw in a slice of pepper jack (because in spite of His Infernal Highness's mug on the box it's not all that spicey).

I can't stand them. Also cilantro tastes like bars of ivory soap to me

...

I learned that the whole cilantro = soap thing is a genetic variant. I am sorry you guys can't taste the true awesomeness of cilantro, but I can't make fun of you guys. Genetics and all.. it would be like making fun of a downie. You're just handicapped. Sorry retard bros.

Honestly it's not a big deal usually you just don't order it. It's when it's in something and they don't tell you. It's absolutely disgusting because the entire dish tastes like a bar of soap. I don't like tomatoes or onions really but it they're on some dish in generally fine with it. Cilantro is a hard pass

I ended up doing 5 bowls (initial bowl + 4 refills):

1. Rigatoni + 5 cheese marinara + 3 meatballs. Five cheese marinara is usually my favorite pasta bowl sauce, but this was kind of watery. Will get again to see if it was just a fluke.
2. Cavatappi + garlic alfredo + 2 sausages. Garlic alfredo was AMAZING. Definitely give this a shot if you go.
3. Cavatappi + garlic alfredo + 2 sausages.
3. Cavatappi + garlic alfredo + 2 sausages.
4. Cavatappi + 5 cheese marinara + crispy chicken. Again, the 5 cheese marinara was kind of watery. I don't usually go to this OG, so maybe it's just a bad location.

All-in-all, got my money's worth. I was a little upset cause the waitress brought the check at the same time she brought my last refill, otherwise I might have gotten another. That said, she knew exactly what to do for the Pasta Passes and she even checked our IDs as per the official Pasta Pass rules.

Gave these a try today. Really, really good, especially the spicy ones. They're not quite as good as the Doritos ones, but they're close. Then again, I've always been more of a Doritos fan than a Cheetos fan. Maybe some of you with worse taste will enjoy these more. Either way, my next binge is going to consist of 4 boxes, one of each flavor of each Doritos and Cheetos.

I dont know the Doritos ones were pretty shitty. These are now suspect as well.

My wife is out of town for the weekend, so I gave in to temptation and celebrated Shrimpfest at Red Lobster. All you can eat shrimp food porn commercials wrecked my brain and I have been obsessed all week. As always, the biscuits are the star of the show and I ate 7. The Caesar salad was well prepared and tasty. The shrimp scampi was on point, as ever. The Nashville Hot Shrimp was surprising delicious; fried crisp with a dusting of a dry, hot rub, drizzled with honey. The shrimp pasta was its normal greasy, messy self. The Cape Cod Potato shrimp was would have been the best had the Nashville Hot Shrimp not stood out as the clear winner. I ate at least 50 shrimp. Ordinarily, I will eat at Red Lobster once every year or so (however long it takes me to forget how mediocre the food is combined with their commercials making the food look so appealing). This was probably the best meal I have ever had at Red Lobster and would recommend it to all bros.

Oddly enough, I was not the only single male customer in the restaurant pigging out on shrimp. However, I was the only lone Caucasian male pigging out on shrimp.

I won't lie. I kinda want to do this.

I guess I'm an extra oddball - it just doesn't taste like anything either way to me - just parsley that people go crazy over but means nothing to me.

A couple of times a year I get a craving for Red Lobster. Last time I went I fiended on two orders of their mussels. Shit was delicious.

Mind you. Red Lobster is like the only real seafood restaurant within 30 miles of me.
