Glad I'm not the only one who likes them (or even knows what they are!)... I know what you mean, though; too acidic is no good, and sometimes they can get too oily as well.

Been really really lazy cooking-wise. Thank GOD for Trader Joe's frozen dinners... Last night it was Chicken Gorgonzola and tonight it was Chicken Serenada, with steamed broccoli with garlic and onions.

Last night I made something like a nachos.

Used jalapeno & aged cheddar flavoured corn chips.

Fried up some sliced beef, chopped onions and sliced sundried tomato in some garlic salt, pepper, and cumin.
Added a little Neapolitan sauce, and habanero paste.

Threw that on the cornchips, added some vegetarian cheese and some mozarella, into the flavourwave oven it went.

While I did that...
Fried some chorizo and sliced it, doused it in lemon juice.
Chopped cherry tomatoes.
Added salt/pepper.
Threw in some coleslaw salad (no dressing) with celery, corn and spring onions.
Mixed that all together, into I guess a strange salsa type thing.

When the cheese melted and browned, I took the hot part of the dish out.
Put the aforementioned mixture on top with some light sour cream.

Had some lemonade that I made in the sodastream machine, with minimal syrup and actual lemon juice squeezed in. Nice. Tasted "real".

I'm probably taking my life into my own hands, but I'm eating some tuna rolls I bought at a Check Cashing place. They're actually pretty good!
