"Firing up" an old favorite.

Another late-morning sitting sitting in our boring office and listening to our tummies grumble...Prompted by advertisements on the web, my coworker and I decided to save our typical microwave diet meals and go all-out with a lunchtime feast at one of our favorite casual restaurants, Chili's, to try some new items from their "Fired Up" menu.


Of course we weren't ready to get "fired up" until after we had secured a tasty beverage to wash it down with:

Her Presidente Margarita



My Hefeweizen Pyramid...which the server I suggested get served with an organge slice instead of lemon (good!!):


Chili's was out of one the items we wanted, the honey chipotle chicken crispers, but it worked out because we also wanted to try the Texas Cheese Fries.

Chili's describes them as "Homestyle fries topped with melted cheese, jalapeños,applewood smoked bacon & jalapeño-ranch dipping sauce." Here they are!!

So good...


The rest of our [huge] meal:

My coworkers Chicken Soft Tacos:



These were not bad, not super tasty either. Rather plain. Reminded me of Del Taco chicken soft tacos.

I tried the boneless "Blazin" buffalo strips with mango dipping sauce:


The mango dipping sauce was not very good, or at least a little too odd for my tastes. I preferred the ranch dressing :)

And we return to the office 34 pounds heavier...
