Good evening everyone.  Well I’m trying to get back in the swing of things. Friday through Sunday was rough.  I was busy and just was too lazy to update my blog.  Since I have been doing this for awhile I believe I’m doing very well at watching portions and just not stuffing myself.  I wanted to start fresh this week and try to stay diligent to my postings ever evening.

I went bowling tonight on my normal Monday night league. Shot a 146 for the 1^st game, 200 2^nd game and a 203 the third game. Tough night and I didn’t feel very good. I’m feeling a little better but I’m going to bed pretty soon here. Got my 300 ring tonight which was the highlight of the evening. 

Today was an absolute nightmare at work.  Nightmare in the since of being extremely busy and everyone wanting something today. I’m very blessed though to be busy and to have a very good job.

Listening to a new album tonight by the 90′s band Enigma titled “Seven Lives Many Faces”.  Just started listening to it so I don’t have an opinion on the album yet.

Taco Bell Volcano Taco:

(Nutritional Facts – 1 taco – 240 calories)

Taco Bell Cheese Roll-Up: 200 calories

Why must Taco Bell insist on painting the taco shell red for their Volcano Taco to let you know that it’s spicy? Most people are probably functionally retarded during the times people are eating there at two in the morning, but it doesn’t give them carte blanche to rub it in their faces. We shouldn’t take this lying down, no matter how fat and lazy their food has made us!

This is Taco Bell flipping us off with one hand and biting their thumb with the other. We already knew that their product wasn’t healthy, but now they’re basically admitting the food is by no means real or to be taken seriously. You might as well swing by the drive-thru window and ask for a cup of Play-Doh so you can make your own taco shells at home.

Aside from the food coloring, I was excited about the prospect of a new affordable taco with a “cheesy lava sauce” that would allow me to spew fire and blow smoke from my head.

With the Volcano Taco, the cheese sauce overwhelms all of the other ingredients and leaves you with a rather tangy aftertaste. I wouldn’t say that it tastes like bad mayonnaise, but it does have a pretty thick and heavy mouth feel which threw me off a bit. In regards to the heat, I’d say that the red shell warning was unnecessary. It’s moderately spicy, but it’s not anything that will have you blowing fire or reaching for the nearest icy beverage.

Unless, of course, it’s to wash the taste out of your mouth.

Item: Taco Bell Volcano Taco
Price: 89 cents
Purchased at: Taco Bell
Rating: 4 out of 10
Pros: Cheaper than most of their items that come with cheese sauce. Moderately spicy. The ability to breathe fire.

Cons: Not nearly as spicy as advertised. Tangier and thicker sauce than I expected. Sauce masks the taste of lettuce, beef, and shredded cheese. Aftertaste is not pleasant
