Day 2059 – Why You Should Try Other Things On the Menu

I’ve been eating at el Salto for about 13 years. On my first visit, I got a lunch special #5. I have since ordered a lunch special #5 for about 99% of my lunches….and the dinner special #27 (which is the same as the lunch except for an extra burrito) for 99% of my dinners. A few years back, I realized I could order extra shredded cheese (which is my FAVORITE thing on the menu). But I never strayed from my typical order. Never.

Yesterday, we wanted to feast. So we tried the nacho supreme appetizer. Never thought to try it. I mean, you get all you can eat chips and salsa…why pay for something more?

Well sir, after receiving and eating the nacho supreme, I now know why. Because it’s huge and freakin’ delicious! There was even oodles of melted cheese (same type as the shredded cheese). These nachos were so big, we honestly could have JUST eaten that. I had Bret hold up his hand to give them some scale.

So friends, try and order something new off the menu at your favorite restaurant next time….or take this to a deeper level and order something new off the menu of life. (ooooo, deep thoughts for a Sunday!) 🙂

Day 2010 – Delicious BBQ In Bel Air Maryland – or – Bret’s New Favorite Restaurant

Last year, while visiting Bret’s family, a friend took me to an AWESOME BBQ place. I was so impressed, I blogged about it. Since then, I’ve searched for a location near us, the closest was about an hour plus away….thankfully, that has changed!

Today, we visited the new location in Bel Air and Bret LOVED it! He was actually full after his meal! He said a few times, “that’s how you should feel after eating BBQ!”

Mmmmmm, can’t wait to go back!

Day 1946 – Benefits Of Getting Up Early

Getting up early has been fantastic. I love how much I get done in the very early morning. The only downside happens around 2….at first I was like, dude, it’s only 2, why do I want to take a nap/stop working already?! But then I realized, oh, right, duh, I’ve been working for 6-8 hours already! It’s been an adjustment, to be sure! Being aware of your working habits is so important to success (and not beating yourself up!)

So what did I do this morning? Why, make brownies of course!
