Dragonfruit + Cheese Sandwich = Joy

Dragonfruits are a strange sort of fruit, one that I’ve only discovered recently. While here in the US their price hangs around $4 a pop, they’re at a much more reasonable 50 cents to a buck in Mexico, so of course I had to get one. In any case, they’re tasty. It’s like a kiwi [...]

Dang Quesadilla

I heart quesadillas. I have a bad habit of trying to be healthy, so generally when I make quesadillas, I bake them. I was feeling saucy this time, and decided to fry this baby up. Having since eaten the above item, I think that in the future, the small amount of oil used is totally [...]
