I am on a guacamole quest. Apparently I crave it every single day. I truly believe I could live off guac, salsa, and a diet pepsi and be perfectly content.
It made me think of the random cravings I get from time to time. Where I will actually spend my last dollar (intended for gas) on something YUMMY or even something Imust DO!
Compulsive is what I would classify it as!
Here is a list of the items that I crave!!!!! If you know where I should go to try some of these items - please let me know - even if it is in another town/state/country!!
1. Guacamole. Now - I insist on the kind without tomatoes. Most important. The creamier the better. In Birmingham: Hacienda, Iguana Grill and La Fiesta. Yummmmm... In Macon - Polly's La Mesa. If you have more suggestions - please tell me!!
2. Salsa. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Salsa at Iguana Grill. Following with Hacienda.. then La Fiesta. The last two have lots of cilantro - a must for me. The first - (the one with black stuff in it - educate me, my latino friends, what is it - and why do I want to inject it into my veins??)
3. Coffee - STRONG coffee. Definitely with cream. Specifically a few items at Starbucks: Caramel Macchiato (sp), Cappuccino, White Mocha, Frapps, hell... who am I kidding - the whole damn menu!!
4. Diet cola. Yep. Ice cold. I like the way it burns your throat going down.. the icy cold splash on your tongue... *sigh*
5. Sour Cream & Onion chips with a ranch-style dip. Holy Moly - that is da bomb.
6. Margarita.
7. Mac & cheese - Kraft. In the box, with the orange powder. Oh yeah. Get this - I put a little cayenne pepper in mine or vinegar to spice it up, and woo hoo - heaven in a bowl. LOL
8. NuWay hot dogs in Macon, GA. That oniony, chili topping on a red stroke-causing hot dog. Lord.. I would drive home to get one now if I had the gas in my car!!
9. The Orange cheese dip at Polly's La Mesa. This is true TEX MEX.
10. Rotell cheese dip thingy - the way Lynn makes it.
11. My mom's layered Salad.
12. tiramisu - I love to get the kind made at Publix
13. Tatziki sauce. - the best remains in a Greek restaurant in Alexandria, Egypt
14. Tahina - yasser's mom's. Though, Hesham's recipe runs a close second.
15. Hummus - The kind I buy at Whole Foods in the can.
16. Goat cheese with dill sprinkled - My creation
17. fried pickles - The best are the chips.. not the spears.
18. Prime Rib at J. Alexanders
