Homemade Grilled Stuft Burritos!!!

Well, for those of you who have never had a Steak Grilled Stuft Burrito with lime sauce from Taco Bell in Anderson, CA at 3 in the morning, I would suggest you go do that before continuing to read this post.
Ok, so I assume this means that you have now had a grilled stuft burrito in Anderson. Good! It was delicious wasn't it? I certainly enjoy them!
Due to my somewhat unusual love of Steak Grilled Stuft Burritos, Kevin, my brother in law, decided that he and I should attempt to make them at home. It turns out that you can get recipes for some of the ingredients online. We found the recipe for the lime sauce that I always add to my burritos so we made some of that. We then set out to make them taste as much like Taco Bell as possible. I was very impressed, while they were not exactly like Taco Bell, they certainly had a very similar flavor and I felt that they were likely the best homemade burritos that I have ever had! Thanks Kevin!!!! Here are a few pics of us creating the burritos.





Here is me enjoying my burrito!!!!





Yep, those things were pretty tasty!


On Sunday night we went to Trish Taff's birthday party and I saw Jeremy there, he told us about some sweet clearance deals at Target. The next day, Brenda made it to Target and bought two ceiling fans for $7.50 each! We were very excited because we have wanted a ceiling fan for our bedroom for quite a while! While it is not exactly what we wanted, we figured for that cheap we might as well get it and just upgrade later. I put the fan in tonight and I think that we will probably sleep better as a result.





For anyone out there who has heard horror stories about fans that I install plummeting to the ground and nearly killing people, I just want to say that those stories are untrue and Brenda and I are in no danger sleeping under a fan that I installed!! Until next time!!!

Something other than computers!

Today I chose to accomplish a lot! I set out this morning with a list of things to do and I accomplished all but one of them. I pruned my roses, got the new MacBook enrolled in Apple Care, took out the trash, hung up Brenda's towel holder, cleaned up my computer desk and finally, cleaned my aquarium. This last task is actually what I am posting about. Having turtles in my aquarium, I can't fill the aquarium to the very top. (the turtles will escape) My filter is intended to pour water in at the top of the aquarium, when the water has to drop before going back into the aquarium it splashes and I always have water mucking up my view and leaving spots on the glass. I finally got the guts to try cutting the aquarium today so that the filter could rest at water level and the aquarium would not have to be full.

I searched around on the internet for a while and figured out that I could probably cut the glass with a diamond cutoff wheel in my Dremel. I went to Home Depot and bought this little tiny cutoff wheel for $15!


The new one is the one with the cooling holes.

I thought that was a little expensive for a little tiny piece of metal, but I checked 2 other stores and they didn't have them! When I got home I carefully measured and taped around that area I wanted to cut and then I went to work. I used some 3 in 1 oil to cut down on the heat a little bit and after about 30 minutes of work I had it done. No, it wasn't perfect, but I thought it went pretty well for my first attempt!







The edges are a little rough and I did crack the glass up near the top (just a hairline crack), but overall, I am very happy with the results. I am now getting the water movement that I have always wanted, the splashing is no more and the whole system is much more quiet than it ever has been! Well, until next time, have a good day!


Oh, for anyone who is still wondering, the last thing on my list that I didn't get done was putting some fog lights up for sale on eBay!
