Pet Peeves: Monday Stomach

Props to http://afuturesuccessstory.blogspot.ca/ for the pic.

Okay, this time it is technically Tuesday Stomach. You know what I mean though right? That feeling when you get back to the office Monday after being free-fed all weekend and are forced back into a lunch-hour, no-snacking regime?

I have many pet peeves. Some would say I am border-line unbearable to live with sometimes. But, this is a selfie in the world of pet peeves, one that no one can control but lil’ ole’ me.

I just got back from an extended weekend on Friday, after two seven (plus) hours back and forth to Calgary not only do I feel entitled to eat whatever I want my body is out of its adapted eating schedule and wanting to eat ALL the time. There is no such thing as full right now, nope not even close. I am trying to reign-in my gorgalling (that’s the sound it is making, say it out loud you’ll get it) tummy by not snacking all day and it sucks. Not only did I enjoy being able to eat whatever and whenever, I reveled in it. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday this girl ate it all.  So of course Tuesday my stomach feels like it is part of a famine. Just a few days off the normal eating schedule and it is like it never existed! The Superbowl snacks definitely did not help!

Rant over, time to get supper going. Hello steak, cauliflower and sweet potato, time for Mama to stop complaining. 

My First Visit to Confusion Taco Food Truck

Have you been to Confusion Taco yet?

Stop reading and track that food truck down right now if your answer is anything less than, “not this week”.

Serious taco game rides around in that truck everyday. I FINALLY got to lunch at Confusion Taco during the food trucks visit to Castlegar this Tuesday.

Boy was I impressed; friendly staff, an impressive collection of hot sauces and amazing food at a great price. It was the perfect treat and it makes me want to skip packing Tuesday lunches all the time.

I always ask for a recommendation on my first trip to a new spot, I asked them to give me their best; the fan favorite and they presented me with the Baja Fish. I LOVE a good fish taco and this taco was better than some of the fish tacos I have had in SoCal. Seriously, you won't believe these bad boys are served out of the back of a truck. My big thing is that a taco has to be moist with salsa and sauces and not messy. Not a drip from this taco and it was still full of amazing flavor from the cilantro slaw, salsa and avocado mayo. And the tempura pacific cod was perfectly cooked, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. I would never have picked a fish taco for myself (I usually stick with beef and chicken outside of California), but I am sure happy they picked it for me!

Next time I am going to have a heavy dose of Confusion, I think I will skip breakfast and wait till lunch for the Sloppy Jalope. And, maybe even a Great Canadian Taquito for a 3 o’clock wall snack. Here is a look at the menu (right).

Thank you Confusion Taco, you made my lunch delicious, the best way to start a short work week!

Here is snapshot of their spicy schedule:

-Castlegar: Tuesdays (across from Kootenay Market)

-Fruitvale: Wednesday and Friday

-Salmo: Thursday
