Breakfast Burritos

4 ounces Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage
1 Tablespoon re-hydrated dried chopped onion

1 Tablespoon minced mild green chilies (canned)
1 Tablespoon diced tomatoes (canned, drain liquid)
4 eggs, beaten to oblivion
salt, pepper
4 8-inch flour tortillas
4 slices REAL American cheese

On the side: Pace® Picante Sauce

COOKING your Breakfast Burrito:

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Crumble the sausage into the
pan, then add the onion. Sauté the sausage and onion for 3 to 4
minutes or until the sausage is browned.

2. Add the mild green chilies and tomatoes. Continue to sauté for 1
minute.

3. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and scramble the eggs with the
sausage and vegetables. Add a dash of salt and pepper.

4. Heat up the tortillas by steaming them in the microwave in moist
paper towels or a tortilla steamer for 20 to 30 seconds.

5. Break each slice of cheese in half and position two halves
end-to-end in the middle of each tortilla.

6. To make the burrito, spoon 1/4 of the egg filling onto the cheese
in a tortilla. Fold one side of the tortilla over the filling, then
fold up about two inches of one end. Fold over the other side of the
tortilla to complete the burrito (one end should remain open). Serve
hot with salsa on the side, if desired. Makes 4 burritos.

Alternatively, save yourself a lot of time and trouble by walking into
McDonalds and buying one.

The hottest salsa I ever had, including the whole state of California

There's a restaurant called Los Dos Molinos in Springerville, AZ that
was really seriously hot. They also have restaurants in Phoenix, Mesa
and New York City.
http://www.losdosmolinosnyc.com/
The food was good, not quite up to the standards of NM, but still
quite good. The salsa was...well, the green was hot, but edible. The
red was downright dangerous. I ate more of it than I should have, and
the skin around my lips burned for a long time.

I've had hotter, but that was intentionally made too hot to eat with
capsaicin extract:

Does their need to be an aversion to keep from doing things that waste
every one else's time? I'm sure the people on the fast food group want
to know how to *make* a breakfast burrito... right?

He can post away to the fast food group from now until the cows come
home. No one except a few xposters from here read it anyway. Most of
the other groups care or even know who he is other than an egomaniac
who is incapable of editing news groups and thinks everybody hangs on
his every word.

I realize she has a snarky personality <g>, but I was making a point for

I'm not incapable, but from now on I'll make sure that I don't. I was
leaning that way anyway. I'm not delusional, and believe that more
than half of the folks here pretty much ignore me.

Stopping there, I have never liked Jimmy Dean sausage, nor any other brand
of "raw" sausage meat I must cook to well done before consuming. It never
fails that I find bone chips, gristle and other nasties in it, no matter
what brand it is.

However!!! McDonald's breakfast sausage patties I'm usually pleased with.
Wal-Mart used to sell Country Cousins precooked breakfast sausage patties
that tasted exactly like the ones from McDonald's. Now they're sold under
the Great Value house brand, but still have the same quality, as far as I
can tell. So I go with those. Even for pizza, I can thaw one a little
and chop it into squares to distribute on a pizza for a "pork sausage"
taste, or I chop it up and put it in gravy for biscuits and gravy. Works
beautifully for that.

I just noticed he posted as Ronald McDonald. The thing about the
McDonald's breakfast burritos is that they don't contain Jimmy Dean
sausage, but pork sausage pizza topping.

I'm with you. Net nanny posting morality gone haywire. Some people like
to post and try to defend everyone else's computer screen. But nobody is
forcing them to visit the other newsgroups and download the message there.

Threads I've participated in have been broken and I've missed parts of the
threads when people posting in newsgroups I don't read, cutting out the
newsgroup I'm reading from.

I remember reading in alt.politics a message that was crossposted to
alt.drugs.pot. Someone replied to me from alt.drugs.pot, but since I was
reading in alt.politics, I didn't even find their message until months
later...because they cut the group I was reading from.

So I say to all these usenet nannies, stop harrassing people about
crossposting. It's none of your business. And don't change the headers.
The person you're replying to might not be in the same group you're
reading from.

Sometimes groups have low numbers of posters. By crossposting to multiple
groups, you get a larger pool of people contributing, making for longer,
more interesting threads. Probably one of the reasons usenet is dying is
because of the incomplete threads caused by people jacking with the
headers, thinking they know what's best. How about just leaving them
alone? It does NOT hurt to crosspost, because the server only stores one
copy of the message. It's not like 6 different messages are stored. The
only thing crossposting does is make the message available from more than
one newsgroup.

The bigger problem now is people overquoting. I'd rather see more
crossposts and fewer overquotes. If people want to police something,
police overquoting.

You want to eat parts of an animal that were used to filter waste from the
body? Sounds like they're deviled before they're even cut out to be

The color of curried eggs would make me want to gag. I even have a hard

I especially liked her post in ba.food replying to spam and
regarding the spongebob game.

I can't see the original post (probably because it was spam or
crossposted, but here in Austin you never make breakfast tacos at
home. It's like bread in France - you never make it at home.

Wait a second - why is this posted to alt.food.fast-food only? Tell
me sf doesn't read aff-f after she said we were all imbeciles.

Damaeus - I would not have issue with x-posting where there is synergy.
I don't see much of that in the groups being cross posted to.

If I was interested in fast food as I love In & Outs, and wanted to
argue that Culvers is in NO WAY as good, I'd post to the
alt.food.fast-food group, not the rec.food.cooking group.

If you have a subject title of "breakfast burritos" that I see in that
group, I'd find it highly annoying to find it giving a recipe on how to
make one.

Back to my "in the pool" analogy, if every one was doing that, what
would be the point in even having the 72 ~ 100K groups that exist? Lets
all just jump in the same pool.

If you can't stay within the common sense boundry of a group, you should
not be subscribed to it, or X-posting to others you are not subscribed to.

Common sense... just like driving.

Damaeus - You could always start a group... alt.Dam.and.Bryan.discussion
if you so like, than you wouldn't be annoying others with OT x-posting.

I know, I could just plonk, but a do like much of what you post, so I
would consider that my loss.

I wouldn't be. If I like fast food, replication recipes would be welcomed
to me. Until a usenet authority comes into being, I'd say it's a free for
all. If I had control of usenet, I'd go through and reorganize
everything, combine groups that obviously share the same topic.

Thanks. I don't start off-topic threads, but if someone else posts
something, I will reply. Why? Well, suppose someone makes a political
post. I don't mind reading about politics in a cooking newsgroup. I'm
familiar with the other people in the group as they discuss cooking
topics, and I like reading what they have to say about other issues.

Ever stop to think that the other news groups don't want to see your

Poor little you. YOU have to go to the other news groups to find out

It's up to you to do the research, since you're the one propagating
xposts. Nobody wants to hear from people who are xposting from other
groups.

Damaeus, you're too egotistical for your own well being. If you don't
subscribe to a group, don't xpost to it. We'll continue to trim and
it's up to *you* to figure out where a rely is located.

I think the opposite. I think that the breakfast burrito topic is on
topic to both rfc and aff-f. A xpost to alt.fan.calista-flockhart
would not be appropriate, but since that group is hardly active,
what's the big deal?

You are smart enough to realize you're fighting a useless battle.
When there are real conflicts, such as swinger advocates trying to
become dominate on rec.nude, I fully supported the creation of a
moderated group, alt.nudism.moderated. The latter is a very low
traffic group, but it offered a choice, and the moderator(s) were
real, traditional nudists who didn't want to shut down all debate, but
didn't want a newsgroup that was becoming dominated by those whose
beliefs were antithetical to their core principles to be the place
that they posted. Often posters xposted to rec.nude, but they only
*read* from the mod group.

I wonder if/when sf will realize that she's beating her head against a
brick wall.

Well, there's really no point in bickering about how people post. It's as
stupid as citizen's arrest. There's an old man in a town near here
(population +AH4-70,000) who, as stupid as this sounds, drives around in his
car with a big sign on it that says "CITIZEN'S PATROL". He is basically
an old man playing policeman in his car. He will cruise through parking
lots and first report people parking in handicapped spots without a
sticker, then when they come out, he'll walk up to them and claim they're
under citizen's arrest. He did that to one girl I used to work with and
she claimed that she laughed at him, got in her car, and drove away as he
yelled, "Citizen's arrest! Citizen's arrest!" She said the man got in his
"patrol car" and chased her around the loop.

Well, I see these usenet nanny posters as ridiculous as these people who
run around in 2009 trying to place people under citizen's arrest. It's
just stupid. People are going to do what they're going to do, and when
someone calls them on it, they're going to be laughed at.

The people who actually nag others about their posting habits are usually
never personally affected by them. They just think they're upholding some
kind of usenet etiquette by making public denouncements of other people.
But those rules are really archaic ideals. And what's more, the people
admonishing others of crossposting are usually people who never trim their
posts! If anything is going to be pointed out, I'd rather it be the utter
lack of trimming. That is until Forte Agent finally comes up with a way
to hide all quoted text beyond a certain depth level.

The newsgroup talk.origins is one of the worst for overquoting. That
bunch is so nitpicky about posts that if you trim something, the other
posters think you're trying to hide the fact that you didn't respond to
it. So there, you often find 800-line posts with only ten lines of new
text. Quite a bit of overquoting goes on here, too, but this is cooking,
not a debate about whether the universe evolved, was created, has an
immortal destiny or some kind of nasty death.
