[283/366] tacos
Oct. 9th, 2020 10:51 pmI'm so grateful I could outsource takeaway decisions to someone whose brain was working better than mine this evening.
We got Mexican! Which I hadn't had forever! It's almost impossible to get good Mexican food on this benighted island (true story: when I went to a drum clinic with my drummer boyfriend and professional drummers were giving master classes about drumming, a thing I know zilch about, I did ask a question...because one of the drummers was from California and mentioned there are only three places in the UK to get good Mexican food and one of them was his kitchen; I couldn't resist raising my hand to ask what the other two were (one I forget, but the other was a place![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
innerbrat had already taken me to in London). It's not even easy to get bad Mexican food here -- easier now that Chiquitos has enough veggie options to be worth my while.
When I can go places, I can get good burritos...so I haven't had any in ages. (diffrentcolours and I used to go to Pancho's for lunch on a more or less regular basis, and I really miss it now; we checked right away to see if they're on JustEat or anything and sadly they're not.)
I ordered soft taxis because I was really in a mood for something simple, and I had veggie nachos too. Everything was fresh and delicious (even if all the jalapeños on my nachos had been fused together by melted cheese into some kind of Jalapeño King that I accidentally ate alliin one bite!)
I'm relieved that with that meal that meal I had gone from "struggling to eat all week" to "almost eating too much because it's delicious!" I lose my appetite when my anxiety is bad, and the lack of food leads to both a direct lack of energy and indirect increases in anxiety because it triggers disordered eating thoughts so that's a nice little vicious circle. Tonight was a delicious way to start to feel like I'm pulling out of this latest trough in that respect.
