I had a burrito a few Fridays ago and lost 8 pounds over the weekend. That was a bad burrito.

I am sorry that you like inferior burritos. I'll eat burritos with lettuce, because burritos are good, but why eat one with lettuce when it's automatically better without it? Leperflesh posted:When people in this thread say "good" or "bad" about a burrito, it's almost never qualified by any sort of description whatsoever. To me, the best burritos have good meat that isn't overdone or gristly or sitting around for a long time (I usually get carne asada or carnitas), and it has fresh non-poo poo pico de gallo with a lot of peppers in it (serranos are best) and/or onions and cilantro, avocado (guacamole is good, but I prefer plain avocado), beans (refried or whole pinto beans), and good hot sauce. Sour cream, cheese, french fries is optional if I'm in the mood for it, and as much as I poo poo on rice, it tastes fine...i just prefer rice to be replaced with more meat or beans or salsa or whatever, because rice doesn't taste like much. Thank you for listening to my very important burrito opinions. And speaking of pico de gallo, maybe I'm dumb and can't remember poo poo right, but I'm pretty sure people used to mostly call it "salsa" (because that's what it is), at least around here...until around 10 years ago, and then every white person in the US and Canada started calling it "pico de gallo" most of the time. I've even run into a couple people who tried to correct me when I called it "salsa", which is like correcting someone for referring to cheddar as "cheese". Leperflesh posted:Burritos are an American invention (well, invented in America, for Americans, by Mexicans, anyway). That's true for most burritos you find in the US, but there are also Mexican burritos: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrito quote:Burritos are a traditional food of Ciudad Juárez, a city in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, where people buy them at restaurants and roadside stands. Northern Mexican border towns like Villa Ahumada have an established reputation for serving burritos. Authentic Mexican burritos are usually small and thin, with flour tortillas containing only one or two ingredients: some form of meat or fish, potatoes, rice, beans, asadero cheese, chile rajas, or chile relleno.[14] Other types of ingredients may include barbacoa, mole, refried beans and cheese, and deshebrada (shredded slow-cooked flank steak). The deshebrada burrito also has a variation with chile colorado (mild to moderately hot) and salsa verde (very hot). The Mexican burrito may be a northern variation of the traditional taco de Canasta, which is eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.[citation needed] edit: I've never had an authentic Mexican burrito (maybe that sad burrito I had in San Diego was a bad example of one though). They sound good. Rah! fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Apr 29, 2015 |

Lettuce isn't there for flavor, it's there for texture or perhaps wetness, either of which can be desirable depending on the ingredient mix. A little crunch is great for mouth feel. I'm not saying it's a required ingredient, it absolutely is not, but it can be nice especially in a burrito that is otherwise quite mushy in texture, such as when using a pulled-pork wet meat, refried beans instead of whole beans, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. That's a whole lot of delicious melty goodness, but some lettuce gives it a little better bite. Rice is a very traditional filling to help boost the carb load, and because beans + rice is a complete protein. It is again not necessary, but strictly speaking you could live on nothing but burritos containing beans, rice, some source of essential vitamins including vitamin c (salsa will do this, guac probably does too), and water, for a really long time. (You also need a source of fat, but tortillas provide enough of that, and the beans have a little as well.)

Burritos are loving Mexican. The burrito everyone thinks of was invented by Mexicans, using Mexican ingredients, in California, which is Mexico.

It's true, there is very little to love in Oxnard. But if you're passing through, the Carne Asada Burrito at El Taco De Mexico on 5th Street is the motherfucking bomb diggity. Most of the time.

A Mexican restaurant that was run by Mexican people, that made some drat good Mexican food. Desert Hot Springs is over 50% Latino, dude (mostly Mexican of course). Also, I've never been to Indio....I'm sure there's great Mexican food all over the Coachella valley, I never said there wasn't. EDIT: also, since you mentioned poor areas: Desert Hot Springs has a poverty rate of about 30%, which is kind of high (it also has a pretty high crime rate). It does have tourists because of the hot springs and its status as a cheaper vacation alternative to Palm Springs, but it's definitely not a town overrun by wealthy people or anything.

I'd love to tell you what the place in Desert Hot springs is, but I was there like 15 years ago, and can't remember the name. It might not even be there anymore, and maybe I'm even misremembering how good the burrito was, I dunno...but it stuck in my memory this long, unlike countless other burritos, so I think I'm remembering right and am probably not an entirely crazy person. It was on a main street (one of what..two main streets in DHS?) and I think it was within a few blocks of a mortuary, if that helps at all. Which is why the meat was so good, no doubt

Wait, what is this magic liquid coming from the sky? Unrelated I was near Humboldt camping this past weekend and the sky was just brown and orange from all the smoke. Never saw any flames but man, it reminded me of living near the highway 41 and 46 fires of the early 90s.

Greetings Californians! I live here now. I have brought gifts of rain and humidity, and plan to muck up your culture with my disgusting Philly accent. Haven't bought a house yet, because holy poo poo, how does anyone live here? Thinking of settling down somewhere in San Diego county, Fallbrook/Vista/San Marcos/Escondido areas. Anywhere I should avoid? Also the DMV is confusing. I guess I have to get a license before I can register my car. I have to take a written test and a smog test apparently.

There are other places that are more expensive (San Francisco, parts of LA), but there's almost nothing that costs as much as San Diego while sucking as much as San Diego. I have a lot of family in the greater San Diego area, including a brother who is trying to find a good place for his sons to go to school, and the housing market is ridiculous down there. I'm saying this as someone who lives in the Bay Area.

If you're both making good salaries, I'd recommend living further west than Vista/San Marcos/Escondido. If I had to pick one out of those 3, I'd pick San Marcos I guess. Do not live in Oceanside unless you want to be surrounded by stressed-out military families screaming at each other and their kids all the time. Carlsbad has a lot of old people besides that one strip of bars that's a brofest trainwreck every weekend.

The property taxes are a lot lower, so that helps. But I think our upper limit on a house right now is like $450k, which doesn't get you much near the coast. But $3000 a year in property taxes here vs $6000 a year in NJ on a house that costs less, I don't know if you get more house for your monthly payment or not.

Property tax in CA is 1%, so a 450K house will be $4,500 a year. In addition there can be some local assessments, bonds for schools, that kind of thing. It sounds like you're picking San Diego but don't have to physically live somewhere in particular for a job?

My mate is buying a motorhome and I'm meeting him in LA and we are going to be roadtripping, I'm going for 3 weeks and he's going to be staying for longer. So starting in Los Angeles CA how far could I travel in 3 weeks? I want to book flights home to AUS before I leave and I don't know where I could be in 3 weeks. I know it depends on quite a lot of things like tourist-y stops and poo poo like that but a ballpark area would help me out.

You could conceivably drive across the country if you wanted to in that time. LA (4 days) to Las Vegas (3 days) to Denver (4 days) to Kansas City (3 days) to Chicago (4 days) to NYC (4 days). The first day of driving would be very short, the last day of driving very long. You could also do up and down the coast. It's only 2 hours to San Diego, then 9 hours to San Francisco and 9 hours to Portland. Then it's less than 3 hours to Seattle and 3 hours to Vancouver, BC (Canada).
