My Breakfast Is Better Than Your Breakfast
Since I'm stuck here while the DISH TV guy is on the roof I thought I might as well make some kick-ass huevos rancheros!

Don't be jealous, YOU can have some for dinner. Better than good -- good and CHEAP especially when your neighbor has an avocado tree.

Here's what you do: Fry up a corn tortilla (or two if you're really hungry!), heat up some beans to put on top of it (Trader Joe's Caribbean Black Beans are my fave.) Then on top of that, you put poached eggs, diced tomato, onion and jalepenos and slice avocado.

Ay, Que rico!

5. Trader Joe's Appreciation Day
What would I do without TJs??? Perish the thought....I sent some of those peanut butter-filled pretzels to my pen pal in Iraq, those went over HUGE!

6. The One With The Syrup In the BREAD?
That always looked so gross!! I will admit to a fondness for Egg McMuffins however, but I wish they had them at dinner time, they are kind of heavy in the morning.

9. Well, it is more like a pancake with syrup.
I will admit, I thought they looked gross too. It was months before I tried one and like you was fond of the egg mcmuffin. I would never buy the mcgriddle. But, I took a taste of my moms and it was really, really good! Unfortunately, I am hooked.

11. McDonald's Has Really Good Coffee!!
At least in the morning....and like the cup says, "warning: hot beverages are served hot!"

You know what I believe you and for that reason I'm not trying it!! I once worked at a place where there was a McDonald's next door and I got in this horrible phase where if there was good traffic and I got in 20 minutes or so early I would end up there having the damn "value" egg mcmuffin thing...for some reason IT'S CHEAPER WITH THE HASHBROWNS!

Then I got on the scale at the gym and it was like....GAK!! Three months after I started working there I gained 7 pounds and that was the only thing different I was doing...so I switched to only coffee, the coffee there is really good I think!

16. Those rule...
I lived three years in Malaysia, which, being a Muslim country, it is difficult to get any pork products. I would come home to the US two weeks out of every year, and I would head straight to McDonald's for either one of those, or for a sausage mcmuffin.

Yum, but, grits...What is that anyhow? I've never had that! It sounds....gritty. Must be better than it sounds.

Think Polenta(Italiaan grits)

It is ground hominy...sort of like cream of wheats with a corn taste.

It doesn't taste like chicken.:P
