The Impossible Whopper Challenge

Had a restless night, kept on waking up just about every hour.  At one point even got up and went outside for a while until Paquito saw me, he was coming from somewhere down the road.  I do not know why he would want to leave the safety of the house as he is fixed and has no business roaming around.

Went back outside around 6:10 a.m. and was surprised that none of the neighbor's lights were on.  Today was the first day of back to school but people seemed to be sleeping in.  Went back inside to get ready for an early appointment.

Had the same problem as this past weekend it was too early to pick up the mail at the post office.  Stopped at the Stripes closer to the house and found they had nopalitos con huevo (cactus and egg) tacos something not available at my favorite StripesNopalitos are a great vegetable that brings down high glucose levels.

Had to make another trip into town later in the afternoon so decided to stop at Burger King and try their Impossible Whopper...you know the one that tastes like meat...but does not contain meat.  I could not make my phone App work so one of the employees graciously gave me his mobile coupon...thank you!

The coupon gives you a regular Whopper as well as an Impossible Whopper for your test challenge.  I cut both hamburgers into four portions and tried the Impossible one first.  It tasted just like meat but when I tasted the regular one I could tell the difference.

Would I consider eating it again?  Maybe, but I much prefer REAL meat.  Made me long for the Chili Cook-off where my friends grill delicious steaks.

We had a high of 103, a low of 80 and a heat index of 105 degrees.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
