    If you go to Matt's, get the Bob Armstrong dip.  Oh so yummy.  And their cheese stuffed poblano's are the best I've ever had.

    We have it on a record so I don't have much choice but to listen to the whole thing however it's so awesome I don't mind.

  • imagebobbileighb:
    I like the restaurant question because it may give us some new places to try.  Also, I just thought TN and facebook were givens, I may even have an addiction lol.

    That was kind of my intent.

    Natalie, we were just at Enchilada's on Easter Sunday and they changed their queso.  It's now chalked full of onions.  I mean a lot.  They make me ill.  Boo.

    1.  Hmmm, well I love "Beggin'" by Madcon (and the original by Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons).  I can listen to the "Wicked" soundtrack all day long too.

    2.  We like going to Angelina's in Corinth.  It's really very good but I also still enjoy going to On the Border.  

    3.  I joined a Disney board (your gasps and surprise of shock here) and I really like the Hyperbole and a Half website thanks to Brianna.  Alot.

    4.  My mom and I used to email each other specifically because of this next quote:  "Hmmm, I'd have to say April 25th.  Because it's not too hot and not too cold, all you need is a light jacket."  It's from "Miss Congeniality".  

    5.  Well, I really liked those Mambo Taxis the other day but my favorite drink is a really good Tom Collins.  Sonic Diet Cokes though make me very happy too. 

  • @ Michelle I will keep that rec in mind

    @ Jaymi I am exactly the same way with movies, I rarely even remember what they are about

    @ Julie great intentions :)

  • Julie- Ewwwwwww I HATE onions. Despise. I mean....ridiculously hate. That makes me sad.

    Sarah- Yes, one of my all time favorite movies. Eva.

  • 1.  Favorite song right now.  I can honestly say that I don't have one.  I hate everything on the radio right now pretty much.   Although, I did hear "Wanna be a Baller" on my way home yesterday and it gave me a great amount of joy. Old School, yeah!

    2.  Favorite Mexican restaurant.  - I don't eat Mexican food much, but we went to Anamia's in Coppell last weekend and it was really good, and relatively inexpensive.

    3.  Favorite website - Hyperbole and a Half.  Totally.

    4.  Favorite quote from a movie. - Uhm...I'm not a movie buff at all.   Dolce Far Niente?  From Eat Pray Love.  Means "the sweetness of doing nothing" ... that stuck with me for some reason.  Also DH and I randomly burst out with "SQUIRREL!!" and "POINT!!"   from "Up"  on a regular basis. Does that count?

    5.  Favorite drink with or without alcohol.   Margarita, on the rocks.  It used to be Long Island Iced Tea, but I had an unfortunate birthday experience with it two years ago that I haven't completely gotten over.

  • 1. Favorite song right now.  I would say "Marry Me" by Train

    2. Favorite Mexican restaurant.  Esparza's in Grapevine

    3. Favorite website.  Hyperbole and a Half, Facebook and TN (and TK... sorry)

    4. Favorite quote from a movie.   "Beginnings are scary. Endings are usually sad, but it's what's in the middle that counts. So, when you find yourself at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up. And it will."


    5. Favorite drink with or without alcohol.   Sweet tea... hands down

    2.  Favorite Mexican restaurant.  - I don't eat Mexican food much, but we went to Anamia's in Coppell last weekend and it was really good, and relatively inexpensive.

    We have gone there a couple times for work since its right down the street and its pretty good especially for the price.

  • 1.  Favorite song right now."Tonight, tonight" by Hot Chelle. It makes me really happy. I also actually like the new Dr. Dre song "Doctor" or whatever it's called. 2.  Favorite Mexican restaurant.Glorias, for sure. Also El Fenix and Los Lupes. 3.  Favorite website.Sadly, Facebook. But also Smitten Kitchen. Everything she makes looks delicious and her son is the cutest thing ever. Any time I want to make a new recipe, I go to her first to see if she's made a version of it, because I know it will be great. I can't wait for her cookbook to be released!4.  Favorite quote from a movie.Oh, goodness, too many. Last week, with the royal wedding, it was "Mawwaige is what bwings us together today. Mawwaige, that bwessed awwangment. That dweam, within a dweam." -Princess Bride5.  Favorite drink with or without alcohol.Diet Dr. Pepper. Like, I love it to the point that I have to force myself to drink several glasses of water between sodas or I would drink them all day long. 
  • Sarah, I love Family Guy! Courts and I are always saying "Oh yeah! ....Oh, no..." 
  • Summer,

    I'm so glad you are with me on the anti-onion bandwagon.

    I love "Family Guy" but there are sometimes that, while I laugh a little, I am physically repulsed.  I can't explain it.  

  • Oh, and I forgot about this but I do love Anamia's.  There's one in Southlake.  There's also Christina's (the one in Southlake is the only one I've gone to though). 
  • imageBanannaP:
    Sarah, I love Family Guy! Courts and I are always saying "Oh yeah! ....Oh, no..." 

    Haha!  I usually have a ton but can't even think of any right now!  But I do love when hes like "Go to sleep crazy lady"

    That's why it's actually hard for me to eat much mexican food. Because that's like trying to find italian food without pasta.

    I can eat salsa that has it in it because I just dump them off but they seriously give me heartburn within like two minutes of eating one.

    Oh yeaahhhhhhhh, see mine is more like a "phobia" of onions. I don't even like touching them. If I order something and didn't realize it had onions, I won't be able to eat it. Unless they're like huge uncooked onions that I can pick off of a burger or something, I can't do it.

    It completely creeps me out. I have to check labels on everything pre-made that I buy at the grocery to make sure it doesn't contain onions. Like frozen stuff.  I know. I'm weird. And it sucks, because everything has onions. And, and, if I bite into one unknowingly, which, doesn't happen often because I inspect my food, I will gag. And not be able to eat the rest of said food even if the onions are picked out. 

    Seeee, weird.

    Ugh, I agree with you two.  But only raw onions gross me out.  Sauteed ones are okay.

    When we eat mexican food, I just order it without onions and I've never had a restaurant tell me no.

    Wow really? I have had them tell me a lot of times "it's already mixed in" to whatever I'm ordering. Like if it's chicken enchiladas or something, they say it's already mixed into the chicken. I'm like...... ? ::side eye::

    Ew, yes it does. Most of my friends are the same way as you. And they all give me a hard time. "Hey summer, I brought some extra onions just for you!" haha
