Mexican Food Snob

So busy at work. Too many things going on, and it feels like I cannot catch up.

I made chili beans this morning, and it came out better than expected.  Immediately after finishing this, I then prepared breakfast for the little brats.  All in all, it took me from 8am until just a few minutes ago to do these two things, including the time it took me to go to the store to buy the ingredients for the chili beans, and the time to clean up all the dirty dishes.

Wow, it has been a little over two years since I've updated this thing. I had to wipe off the dust forming on the post entry page.

Of course, a lot has happened since I last updated. Most notably we now have two kids: a four year old boy, and a one year old girl. I've found a new job in downtown L.A. as a data analyst, which pays about 22% more than my previous job. The job is slightly further away, but I am commuting by metrolink train. And it had given me to take naps or do some reading. Currently, I'm working on finishing The Count of Monte Cristo.

Well this is my two year update, and I'm not sure when I'll write on here again. Most likely nobody reads this thing, but I do enjoy going over these old posts of mine and reading about things that I forgot about.

I think the antman had a bad dream this morning because he inhaled sharply, then he woke up.

YYZ by Rush has been on constant replay ever since I heard the song a couple of days ago.  This song just puts me in a good mood.

 Am I a pervert for seeing this in a youtube title "...booby trap prank," and thinking it is a prank involving the trapping of boobies?

I love eating jalapeño hot salsa sunflower seeds at work. It makes my job tasty.

I wonder; are bay leaves just a big scam? I've followed so many recipes where they call for two bay leaves. Two bay leaves? That's all? In some cases I've forgotten to add these mysterious leaves, and I did not notice any difference. Maybe my taste buds are blind to the taste?

A tamal + coffee = breakfast bliss

After eating lunch at Connal's in Upland, we walked over to the Goodwill store just to browse.  I ended up getting three short-sleeve shirts for about $11.  Not bad.  Had I bought these shirts at Macy's, I probably would have spent around $40-$50.
