Back in the Saddle
I've been semi-away from the Sift for almost a month, holed up with my family in New Mexico after my Dad passed away. After a long 15-hour flight, I'm back in Australia- and back on VideoSift.
I'm probably about 10 pounds heavier. Huevos rancheros, Sonic onion rings and cherry lime-aids are responsible. A new health-kick will start soon- but not until I've exhausted the supply of good corn tortillas and salsa verde that I smuggled in my duffle bag. I can say with no prejudice- that we make the best huevos rancheros in all of Australia. (which is not saying too much)

Welcome back. We've left everything in tip top.. uhm, don't look in that closet with the big red X.
And we have monocles!
No need to eat healthy. You age as your body metabolizes food anyhow, so what's the point?
@blankfist: Eat less, mostly raw vegetables, so we look like the monkey on the left, not the right: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/10/science/10aging.html?_r=1
If it tastes good, it's trying to kill you.
Just do what the supermodels do. Shove your finger down your throat, and throw up 'til you're skinny!
But seriously...huevos rancheros are your guilty pleasure? I can understand the onion rings but...ah well I eat sardines and people look @ me like I'm insane. *raises glass* to each their own. Good to have you back!
Also, because I'm the kind of adventurous foodie who will try something again even if I don't like it, I looked up a couple of huevos rancheros recipies I plan on trying and came across this:

As far as I can tell, it's a cartoon about two gay Mexican cowboy eggs. While their sexuality will proably be determined by a good translation, I'll decide what is and is not delicious.
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Huevos rancheros are the best breakfast around, and if you say differently, I will fight you.
If you do egg breakfasts - the two ultimates are eggs benedict and huevos rancheros - both can be done poorly, but both are awesome when done well.

@dag & @JiggaJonson Continent fight!! Continent fight, everybody!
Huevos rancheros? What is this? As a breakfast connoisseur, I demand links!
And glad to see you back, sorry for your loss mate.
I still say that Melts are the best breakfast ever.
Roasted potatoes, cut up into homefries size and fried up until they're nice and crispy, with cooked maple sausages, fried mushrooms, onions and shredded cheese, all mixed into a pan. Then layer the top with more cheese and broil it.
Top with two fried eggs, and nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, will ever compare.
Like this. sorta.
Remember, you are what you eat.
What do you use for hot peppers down in Oz?
Our leader, a smuggler?!
And please, our condolences for your and your families loss.

That does sound good - if maybe a bit too "pre-digested" if you know what I mean?

We Get some hot peppers, but they are mostly the asian variety- which are pretty good, but I wish we had more habaneros and jalapenos.
