It's a wrap!

Wow, today I had my first physics lab in 11 years! 11 YEARS!!!! I'm getting old. I was in English class the other day and when the teacher asked people to raise their hand if they were too young to vote in the last presidential election, half the class raised their hands. OLD!!!

To rejuvinate myself, and hopefully prevent myself from taking a nap when I got home from school (at 3pm), I put the latino music station on my satellite radio in the car. Which then got me to think about the movie Tortilla Soup. If you haven't seen the movie but you like cooking, it's a good one to watch! Food is quite a big part of the movie and it left me wanting to own a set of brightly coloured dishes.

Feeling so inspired I stopped by walmart on my home and bought the following ingredients: tomatoes, avocados, yellow bell pepper, red onion, lime, whole grain tortilla wraps, fat free refried beans and Uncle Ben's Spanish rice.

With these ingredients, and some chicken strips and lettuce from home, I made some mexican wraps. I made a homemade salsa using the tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, fresh basil and freshly squeezed lime. I spread that on the tortilla and added the lettuce, chicken, guacamole (made fresh) and a sprinkle of cheese. I served with a side of rice and beans.

Now, I only got the sides so I wouldn't have to listen to Matt complain of being hungry, but he didn't even eat it!!! He felt pleasantly full from the wrap. He did, however, finish his 'other side' the mango margarita!!

I loved the salsa I made, I'm happy there's left overs. I might make a meal around that tomorrow!
