Day 3: Fiesta in Yer Mouth....

Hey Party People,

Day 3:

We woke up this morning craving huevos rancheros but then reality struck like a candy-crazed five year old with a bat and a pinata.-----apple cinnamon oatmeal--yummy in your tummy on a hot summer's day --or a cold rainy one as it were.

Although gloppy as oatmeal tends to be---it was pretty damn scrumptous and the best thus far of our oatmeal extravaganza.

We do have to say that it's nice to have portion control in the morning and predictability. No guess work here; the excitement lies in our three flavors of oatmeal. Which one will it be tomorrow? Well, you're going to have keep reading our blog to quench your eager curiosity.

We would now like to take this opportunity to share with you the cost effectiveness of this challenge.

Here's the breakdown per person:

Oatmeal: .30 cents per packet. Hot water: priceless!

Salad: Average price: $4 (fork included!)

Frozen Entree: Average price: $2

Grand total Average per day: $6.30

What? What?

Forget Foodmax and Grocery Outlet---even Safeway---Trader Joe's beats them with a stick.

Okay---back to Lunch:

The Fiesta Salad:

Party Hardy--Oh Gawd it was Hearty. No really---full of beans, tortilla chips, cheese, salsa fresca salad dressing and lots of chicken. Tj's definitely put some thought into this one. Who are the Trader Joe's salad artists? Better yet--WHO is Trader Joe? Do you know Joe? Does he live in LA?

Please let us know with our very first comment as we have not received any yet:(

Dinner:

Chicken Enchilada: We would definitely recommend it! Rich, creamy, melt in your mouth--perfect ratio of sauce, to cheese, to chicken, to tortilla to yer mouth. aaaaaaahhhhhh.

Could use more spicyness, but all in all we finished it full but wanting to sport-eat some more!

That's it folks---another day eating our way through Trader Joe's Mexico. Can't wait for China!!!
