Burritos

Random question: Just got out a rise krispy treat to eat as I write this post and noticed something. I have some of the special rise krispys that have a chocolate drizzle on top, cool I know, but the package says "chocolaty drizzle." I didn't think much of it at first but then I began to wonder: Did they add the "Y" to make the name more enticing? Or are they covering their bases and hinting that the chocolate drizzle on your rise krispy is not chocolate at all but simple "chocolaty" in flavor? Oh marketing...

Anywho.

Some of my friends and I decided to go back to our hometown (good old Wilmington) for the weekend. The first thing we did? Ok, unpacked and probably went for a trip to the bathroom. But after that? We rushed to the local favorite- Flaming Amys Burrito Barn. and when I say "local favorite", I'm not exaggerating, in fact that might have been an understatement. Go into Flaming Amys on any given day and you are guaranteed to see at least one close friend or relative that lives in the port city. Why so famous? Simple. Hot, Fast, Cheap and Easy. (That's their slogan.) That and they have the best burritos on the East Coast.

So one of the blue haired, religiously tattooed, pissed-off Flaming Amys women was about to take my order when I had a panic attack. I always ordered the same thing. I always ordered a Bandito Burrito with honey mustard. Do you know what's in a Bandito Burrito? No! Of course not! But a Bandito Burrito has chicken in it. God forbid.

So, I walked right up to that frightening woman, honestly I have nightmares about the workers at Falming Amys, and asked for my same buritto But. With. Out. Chicken. The first bite was hard, it wasn't the same. But honestly after that, I didn't even notice my burrito was missing anything. I realized that even before this I would take out most of the chicken anyway.

So all in all being a vegetarian this weekend back at home was much easier than expected, even at Flaming Amys. The meal was still Hot. Fast. Cheap and Easy.
