Actually, yeah -- I think the frozen dinners you're referring to had more to do with getting me interested in the real thing than my couple of Little Rock dining experiences did.
For awhile there, we had a Peruvian place. Really good stuff.

Just kidding, I love big burritos. Taco Bell is the only place I over eat when I go. It's just so delicious. It's like the only food that can tempt me even when I am not hungry.

I found the school's nerd club today at the school club showcase today. I can't wait for the first meeting!

Either adam is being sarcastic with that Taco Bell remark, or all the alcohol has seriously damaged both his brain & his taste buds.
(Young adam knows I love him, & for that matter I have no particular problem with Taco Bell, though I have been miffed for a decade or so over their discontuation of bean tostadas. But this -- the only place I over eat when I go. It's just so delicious. It's like the only food that can tempt me even when I am not hungry -- borders on the perverse.)

Nice Weird Al reference there. Almost flew right under the radar, but I caught you.

I don't think I've been to Taco Bell in 15 years

Taco Bell was what the doctor ordered back when I was working as Sunday editor in Little Rock. There was one about 4 blocks from the newspaper, & I'd pick up a couple of tostadas &/or bean burritos via the drive-through around noon, when my shift started. Not many places were open downtown on a Sunday.

Served a week on a trial and a follow up trial for the same person and feeling good that I was doing my civic duty, though I did try to get out of it. I appeared before the judge and explained I was self-employed and had 4 children in college, which was true.
Anyway, it was a murder trial and very clear to me that the guy was guilty. What's was shocking was when we, the jury, went to cast our preliminary votes how many, 5, did not think he was guilty.
Eventually we won out giving him a life sentence without parole.
It was not easy not talking with my wife about it or looking up anything concerned with it on the internet. Later, I took her to the crime scene, an above garage apartment. She freaked and didn't want to be there at all.

I wish I could say that somehow there is something to blame (though the alcohol could be it, but I eat there sober a lot too) but I just really like Taco Bell. I don't eat there often because of my over zealous appetite, but when I do, it's always too much. Comedian Chris Porter did a great bit on it in one of his standups that was on Netflix at one time. I can't seem to find the clip on youtube. Jim Gaffigan's bit on McDonald's would probably be the gist of how I feel about Taco Bell. (I even risked making a comment on youtube, something I don't do often.)

Not many places were open downtown on a Sunday. Actually Taco Bell and Jack In The Box both seemed to stick with me for fast food favorites, as I worked at a convenience store in St Louis out of high school and till I moved here, and they were the two things open at 2-3am when I would get off work and be hungry, cause I couldn't stand the taste of the microwave sandwiches we had at work.
