Today, my work did a potluck. This potluck included one of my favorite foods in the world--mac and cheese. Someone also brought in lumpia (I haven't had really good lumpia in over a decade) and another person brought in brownies (some slacker guy brought in fried chicken from Popeyes. That made me laugh).
I have four foods that are my kryptonite--mac and cheese, pizza, doritos, and chocolate. Doritos can actually be put in a different category for me (I swear, they're a drug. From what I have read, their flavor profile is such that you can't eat just one. I totally get that), but that mac and cheese looked GOOD! It was a crock-pot recipe and the crock pot just has a way of transforming mac and cheese into straight gooey deliciousness (if done properly, and this looked done properly).
I was ready. I brought in my crock pot chicken fajitas. They're made with fresh lime juice, bell peppers, onions, diced tomatoes, chicken breasts, garlic, and home made fajita seasoning. That's it. They sit in the crock pot, absorb all those juices, and are your guaranteed green and red containers. Put the contents on two corn tortillas or over a bed of greens and it's all over. You don't need anything else. These things are so juicy that you can't rely on the corn tortillas to maintain their structural integrity, so you just have to eat them with a fork.
I resisted brownies. I resisted mac and cheese. I came prepared.
We sat together, ate together, joked together, and got some good training. And I used 1 red, 1 yellow, and 1 green container.
Man though, I'm still thinking about that mac and cheese! My kind of mac and cheese can not be contained with one mere blue container. I'll indulge...one serving after the Diet Bet.
Gotta finish up work, then off to do the Core De Force sneak peek!
