When asked about what he eats during cheat meals, he said he likes fried chicken but his favorite food is Mexican food. Especially on cheat days he tries to get to taco shops in San Diego, especially SDSU favorite Trujillo's Taco shop

No matter how often I eat this sauce I am never bored of it. Is it perfect? No, but what is perfection. Itβs not the hottest but it is a perfect mix of flavors. If it wasnβt frowned upon by society I would chug a bottle of the stuff. Great on vintage cheddar cheese.
Diablo sucks. Hot isnβt enough. Well played Taco Bell. Thanks for the addiction.

Not really too much to stay about this except I'm a huge mushroom fanatic and I'm always amazed at how meaty they can be.
Recipe here originally: Vegan Mushroom Taco Meat
Here's what I did for my meat-free burrito platter:
- 2 pounds mushrooms
- 1 onion, peeled and diced
- 2 teaspoons oil for frying
- Whatever kind of taco mix you like, I used a blend of cumin, chili powder, cayenne powder, paprika, garlic powder, and a touch of cinnamon. All told, it was probably about 2 tablespoons of seasoning.
- 15-ounce can black beans, drained
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 scallions, minced
Instructions:
- So, I like a little textural contrast so I threw about 24 ounces of the mushrooms in a food processor and finely chopped them. I quartered the remaining ones.
- Next, heat the oil and add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes until it begins to soften and just turn golden brown around the edges.
- Add the quartered mushrooms and cook for about 8-9 minutes until the mushrooms deepen in color and turn golden brown around the edges. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent them from burning. Season with salt and pepper.
- Throw in the minced mushrooms. They release a TON of water (you can bake them first in an even layer, if you want, but I prefer to just cook them over like nuclear heat on stovetop, lol)
- Cook, cook, cook until the water releases and evaporates.
- Season with salt and pepper and add your spices. Chuck in the black beans.
- Let it simmer for about 20 minutes more and then stir in the scallions.
- I served it with wild rice and cassava flour tortillas for like a weird little burrito platter and then I threw avocado on top (don't hate me but my grocery store had huge ones for 50 cents a pop!). That's it!
Sorry for formatting, Iβm on mobile. So this actually happened pre covid but Iβve been too embarrassed to ever post this, even with a throwaway, but here we go.
I am a uni student and like most who I know, love Taco Bell. I am always trying to beat my record of how many Doritos locos tacos I can eat in one sitting. For a long time, my record was 14.
One day after a track meet, I was starving and decided to try my hand at breaking my record with a few friends. After straining myself for a solid 30 minutes, I tapped out at 17 tacos! I was thrilled. On the way back to the dorms, I felt my stomach begin to grumble. It felt like someone was playing the drums inside me. I needed to use the bathroom ASAP and there was no way I was going to make it back to my dorm. The closest bathrooms were at the athletic center and I ran as fast as I could with my ass cheeks clenched as tightly as physically possible while my friends laughed after me.
I reached the bathrooms in the athletic center but the menβs room was taped off for maintenance. My only option was to use the womenβs room. My friend(f) went inside to make sure it was empty and stood watch while I ran to the nearest stall. My ass cheeks were so sweaty from clenching them shut for so long that when I slammed down on the seat, I slipped off and landed on the floor with my ass facing the gap of the divider to the next stall. I exploded into the next stall in a blast that would rival any military bomb. My heart dropped as someone in the next stall screamed βWHAT THE F#*k!?!?!β The person in the next stall hadnβt answered when my friend went in to ask if anyone was in the bathroom. They ran out of the bathroom swearing. After finishing cleaning myself up and cleaning up the floor the best I could while rushing to get out of there, I left the bathroom to see my friend sitting outside the door, confused. She told me that a girl ran out of the bathroom, stinking of shit, and ran to the showers in the room across from the bathrooms.
TL;DR I broke my Taco Bell Doritos locos taco record and accidentally shit on the person in the next stall.

QOTD: How do you prefer your coffee or tea?
My friends and I recently went on a road trip to rescue some farm animals who were displaced due to flooding. It was 13 hours there and back and we had limited planning ahead time.
Usually for a day trip I'll pack snacks and meals for myself and maybe others. I prefer to eat healthy and keep my calories tracked. I'm only 5'1 so the calories add up and I'm already pushing 140. Since this happened quickly I only had time to grab a few things.
On the way back my friends wanted to stop and get fast food. I didn't argue but thankfully when we found a spot there was a Kroger in the same parking lot. I told them I'd meet them back at the front just give me five.
I picked out a small hummus snack pack, an apple, and pretzels to share, plus a tall boy of seltzer, then finished up right as they were. When I started eating Abby made a face and said "Are you too good for Taco Bell or something?"
I honestly though she was joking so I laughed and said "Yeah, sorry guys. I'm a total Dawn."
She looked a little surprised at that but again I thought this was just banter. She was really prickly with me for the rest of the ride and after we got the animals situated I offered her a ride since she was on my way and it was late. She said "Oh are you sure I'm good enough to ride in your car?"
I was like "Hey are you mad?"
She said I was being snobby and fat phobic because she saw me entering in my calories and that it wouldn't be the end of the world if I just "ate a fucking taco like a normal person" instead of making a big show of buying food at Kroger.
I was really hurt by this, told her to get her own ride, and just left it at that. To me what I did wasn't any different than a diabetic needing to go away to get something healthy, or GF or whatever. I don't mind indulging in treats but we were going to be on the road for three more hours and I haven't had taco bell in 15 years so I don't know how my body would react!
AITA? Should I have just ordered from taco bell?
