Overheard in the Office:

The instructions on the Patio burrito instruct one to "wrap loosely" in a paper towel when microwaving. I thought about cooking a second one, changed my mind, balled up the paper towel in my hand, then changed my mind again and wrapped the now-wrinkled towel loosely around the burrito-flavored texturized food product. Setting the microwave, I wander back towards the office.

Meanwhile, Bobbi goes into the kitchen...
RX: "What are you cooking?"

Me: "Huh?"

RX: "It looks like you're microwaving a used kleenex!"

  1. Used Kleenex might be just as good.

  2. Used kleenex doesn't come with Beans and Cheese. Or maybe it does....

  3. NUMMY!
    BTW - they improve markedly when actually fried and served with enchilada sauce, like a chimichanga!

  6. I just toss mine unopened into the microondas for two minutes on high. Slice open, insert thick slice of sharp cheddar, and enjoy.

  8. Why microwave? Because boiling would just ruin it...

  9. I sure hope Guffaw is talking about frying burritos and not used kleenex.

  10. Just straight traditional open one end and leave in the wrapper 10 pm length-of-the-state roadtrip style for me. Wrapping in paper towels usually sees some of the tortilla stick to the paper towel, and get pulled off.

  11. Microwaving a used kleenex is apparently not a routine thing in your household. I wonder, how do you disinfect yours for re-use without microwaving them?
