Project 365: Day 88

Flew to Charleston today through Dallas. It was kind of a full day of travel, but was able to get in early enough to check in with work and make it to the hotel. I was starving so I ended up at Waffle House nearby. Oi, this is going to be a long work trip!

I think 2 tacos is plenty for a small meal at Crazy Coyote. The thick tortillas definitely fill you up. I was glad to find out that the large pieces of chicken were still tender and juicy. They could have been a little more flavorful but these tacos are amazing nonetheless.

It’s all about the tortillas here! I don’t know if they’re homemade (they taste like it) but these tortillas are amazing! They’re thick and SO flavorful. The steak in this taco was kinda dry so I was glad that the salsa helped moisten the whole thing.

Project 365: Day 64

I had to work in Oakland in the morning today so I stopped by one of the Mexican food trucks in West Oakland for lunch. One of my co-workers suggested El Patron Lonchera because they have tasty tacos and the food hasn’t made him sick yet, lol!

Carnitas and lengua tacos El Patron Mexican Truck

Two carnitas (pork) and two lengua (beef tongue) tacos on corn tortillas topped with red onions and cilantro. Served with pickled carrots, radishes, and jalapenos. Tacos $1.25 each. Diet Coke $1
El Patron Lonchera, Oakland CA

These were pretty good! Both tacos had great flavor and they didn’t get me sick, hehe. The beef tongue was in large chunks (yum) and the carnitas were nicely shredded with a few crispy pieces (double yum). The guy running the food truck doesn’t speak English so you either have to gesture or try and remember your pathetic highschool Spanish grammar!  🙂

Chicken tikka masala burrito – Curry Up Now

Project 365: Day 63

The weather has been really nice lately so Papa Chang and I went to grab some food at the food trucks. I really wanted to try a chicken tikka masala burrito so we swung by the Curry Up Now. We arrived early and were 2nd in line. Once we ordered there were already 10 people behind us. The couple behind us ended up ordering more than 20 things for their office. I’m SO glad we weren’t behind them, lol!

Morning fresh La Palma 12″ flour tortilla filled with methi pulao (fenugreek and turmeric rice), chana masala (garbanzo beans), and pickled onions with Fulton Valley organic chicken breast tikka masala (CTM). $8
Curry Up Now, Brisbane CA

The burrito is fairly large and filled with large pieces of chicken breast. I wasn’t all that impressed with it overall though. I liked the hint of heat in the sauce, but I think there was too much rice and there was also a lot of sweet flavor. It’s worth a try, but I’m not running back for more.

This burrito was nice and big!

Yes, the outside was a little greasy, but this deep fried morsel was delicious! I’m not completely sure what was in it, but I think it was spiced potatoes, onions, garbanzo beans.

Papa Chang called these samosas “starch balls”. He was right…

Mango lassi Curry Up Now

The mango lassi (yogurt-based drink) was creamy with a little tartness. I put a little of the yogurt sauce in it. Very refreshing!

So after a long night at a birthday party, Taj Mahaj bar, then Level we walk outside and find a pizza truck outside the bar, amen! I guess anything would have tasted great at that point. Although I had plenty to drink, I have to say that I wasn’t all that impressed with this pizza. I’ll pass next time. $3

Alambre taco El Huarache Loco

Mexico City style taco. Organic corn tortilla topped with bacon, chorizo asada, bell peppers, melted mozzarella cheese, cilantro, onions, and salsa. $2.75
El Huarache Loco, San Francisco

Wow, this taco had everything on it! Don’t know if I remember melted mozzarella cheese in there, but there looks to be queso fresco in there instead. This monster had SO much flavor, but I will admit that it was greasy! It’s definitely worth a try though. It’s pretty big so 2 of them would make a large enough meal for me. Mmm!

Project 365: Day 43

Today was pretty uneventful. WGL – work, gym, laundry. I worked another 12 hour day yesterday so I was feeling a bit tired all day. I also felt guilty for missing out on the gym yesterday. It’s less than a month until the cruise and I could afford to lose a little extra around the belly, lol! Maybe I should stop eating SO much. Well, that’s not gonna happen…

Macchiato Blue Bottle Coffee Mobile Kiosk

I’ve decided that I do like Blue Bottle coffee but only if there’s some dairy added, so this macchiato was pretty good. They only serve it “for here” at the Mobile Kiosk, but it’s nice to sit on their high stools, relax, and watch the Castro crowd walk by. $3

This was the second time I’ve gotten something from The Creme Brulee Cart and it was delicious! The Cart is sometimes parked at Market Street and Castro Street so I’ll grab something on the way home from the gym. When I saw the S’mores creme brulee on the their sign, I had to have one. They torch the marshmallows to order and you can let them know how charred you want them. I thought the graham cracker cereal was cute. Everything tasted amazing togther, not quite like real S’mores but delicious nonetheless.

“With everything” comes with grilled onions, jalapenos, ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard on a toasted bun!

I know, I know! This thing is a heart attack served on a bun, but it’s SO frickin’ good after a long night of clubbing. There are carts throughout the city, and it’s anybody’s guess where they’ll be on any given night, but The Mission always seems to have the lion’s share on weekends! I grabbed this on the way home from a late night out and I had to be careful not to squish it in the car, lol! (Don’t worry, I wasn’t driving.)Mmmm, so gross and so good at the same time!

2 piece (breast and thigh) fried chicken and 2 waffles with house syrup and powdered sugar. $8.50
Little Skillet, San Francisco

Farmerbrown’s Little Skillet location is very cute. It’s this tiny little window in the middle of an alley near the ballpark where are the nearby techies go for amazing chicken and waffles during lunch! Noms! The chicken is fried perfectly and SO delicious. The waffles are also amazing. I love combining everything together and eating them in one bite. Gotta have the syrup and some hot sauce in every bite. It’s good, people!

Project 365: Day 23

My bicep was still hurting this morning. I started noticing it yesterday so I didn’t do any arm exercises at the gym today. I hope I didn’t tear it or anything!

It was also very difficult getting out of bed. It’s Friday and the prospect of the weekend was so soothing that I wanted to just stay in bed and wait for it to begin. Alas, I got up and started my day. Baby Girl needed to be taken outside and fed anyway, lol!

Hoping that work flies by today. Going straight home afterward and getting some laundry done. I also need to start cleaning the apartment for my work party tomorrow night. So excited about it, but also dreading the work that’s got to happen before it can happen. LOTS of cleaning!

Shot of espresso. $2.50

This shot of espresso was a little sour to me! It didn’t have the depth of flavor that I expect in an espresso shot. I do love supporting Blue Bottle though and their coffee cart is convenient located near my gym. GCW – gym, coffee, work. 🙂  Rapunzel was chatting about Jersey Shore yesterday so now it’s stuck in my head. I called her a grenadine – that was kinda funny!
