Amherst

Heather, Connor and I went to Amherst to visit my sister on an overnight trip. She is going to be a senior in college at UMass. You might think that seems young for being my sister (since I'm so old, thanks, jerk), but thinking back when I was 15, and poking her soft head when she was an infant, to me she seems all growns up and I miss those head poking days. 

Anyway, Connor mostly slept on the way and we got to Amherst. The first place we went to was Bueno Y Sano. Here's what Heather got:

El Pelon Tacos

Connor and I went to the Fenway open house the other day. It was madness. People were everywhere, lines were wihckad lahng. The people on the field looked like human cattle.

In contrast, Heather and I went to a Mother's Day open Fenway thingy a few years ago. We walked on the field and there were maybe 50 people on the whole field. It was fun, and we took a bunch of pics in the dugout. We walked up to a table and Mark Kotsay was there signing things. We got an autograph and I said "Hey, good luck this season Mark!". He was released a month later.

Anyway, Connor and I went to El Pelon. I decided to branch out and get tacos. I got the Americanos which I think means "awesome order".

It is two chicken tacos with lettuce, salsa, cheese and sour cream: a true awesome order.

El Pelon Taqueria

Hey Jeff, what's your favorite burrito?

Who are you? How do you keep asking me questions? No one knows about this blog. Ah, whatever, I'll answer it. If you made me pick I would choose El Pelon Taqueria. Though Anna's is close, so I feel bad about not mentioning them.

I went to El Pelon the other day and got my usual order, the Chicken Burrito with hot sauce. Here it is:

This is my favorite burrito because all of the ingredients are good. It has rice, beans, cheese, chicken, salsa, and lettuce. All of which on their own are really good (though I don't know what "good lettuce" means). The hot sauce is a little too hot for me, and I'm pretty good about handling hot things, so it's pretty hot. I usually regret getting the hot sauce, but not really.

El Pelon burned down a few years ago (again), then just reopened last year. I was happy. They have lots of other good stuff besides burritos.
