Cinco de Mayo is coming

The Waffle Jr. and Mini-Waffle have been talking about Cinco de Mayo for weeks now. Weeks! They even went to recover a couple of piñatas from the basement. They want a fiesta! So I got excited when I received this offer from Mucho Burrito: For $26.95, you get 2 kids and 2 regular burritos for Cinco de Mayo! For $3 dollars more, you can get small burritos instead of the kids size. You also can add chips and salsa for an extra $9. Considering that a kids burrito goes for $6.95, a small one for $8.95, and a regular one goes for $9.95, you’ll save up to $7.85 with this family pack! You are alone? You can get Burrito Boxed Lunch (regular burrito, chips, salsa, canned drink and a cookie) for $12.95, a saving of $4.25! Alas for me, the closest Mucho Burrito is on the other side of the…

They are golden, they are crispy, they are delicious and they are bad for you! No wonder they are a staple food across the country. You may prefer to call them frites, fries, chips, finger chips or French-fried potatoes: no matter what, you are talking about deep-fried potatoes. They come in many cuts and styles, from the matchsticks to the wedges, and are enjoyed with different condiments like ketchup, aïoli, mayonnaise, vinegar or whatever you see fit. Why are they called French Fries? Blame the Americans. As the story goes, the term “French” was apparently introduced to the potatoes when American soldiers arrived in Belgium during World War I. Belgians are quite fond of fried potatoes, and…

Rubio’s surfing above the competition

, , 0

We were shoe shopping in Mesa. Time flies when you shoe shop with kids. Because nothing matches the cross-specifications required by Ms. Waffle and Mini Waffle – and when it does, the shoe doesn’t fit. Suddenly, a Spiderman shoe seemed to fit the bill. Alas, I noticed that the left shoe’s blinking light wasn’t working (a clear specification). In order to convince Mini Waffle to agree to the non-blinking Mickey Mouse snickers, Ms. Waffle tried to bargain lunch at a restaurant of his choice. He picked St-Hubert. Unfortunetaly, the closest one is a 37 hour drive away. Back to another pair of blinking Spiderman, previously rejected by Ms. Waffle because they were too heavy. But admitting defeat on shoes meant she got to pick lunch, and selected Rubio’s Coastal Grill. Rubio’s Coastal Grill, formerly known as Rubio’s Fresh Mexican Grill, is a fast food chain surfing on the growing “Fresh…
