Quest accomplished y’all. Quest accomplished. There I was, not even actively questing when my sister and I stopped into a Taco Bell for lunch in Ft. Worth, Texas. My eyes were instantly drawn to an item on the menu “Chili Cheese Burrito $1.29″. It was like in a dream, I questioned whether or not I *was* in fact dreaming. Surely, surely, I was reading the menu wrong. I read it over and over again until it dawned on me- this Taco Bell for really real sold Chili Cheese Burritos. My quest had come to an end.
I’m not going to lie to y’all. I may have gotten a bit overexcited. I may have high-fived my sister more than once. I may have called Captain Thoughtful, all a a-twitter with the excitement of accomplishing my quest. I may have eaten two Chili Cheese Burritos. I may have cried. (I didn’t cry).
This is the face of someone who has completed a quest…and also someone who is eating a burrito.
After 16 years, it was everything I had remembered and more because accomplishment tastes really freaking good. (And so does chili and cheese in a burrito)
You know, I just set this quest for myself like 1 month ago. I am obviously excellent at questing. I may be the world’s best quester and it would be foolish to squander such a gift so…..
Next quest: To find my favorite and therefore the best BBQ in Central Texas.
Totally awesome! Congratulations on a successful quest. Did you buy extra, take them home and freeze them?
No, but I’m planning a return road trip.
Congratulations on the accomplishment! I think we should get you a trophy of some description.
I’m a little bit disappointed you didn’t mention the feat on Twitter: it’s never an inappropriate time to tweet about burritos.
You’re absolutely right. Unfortunately, I was twitter-less at the time of burrito consumption because my phone wouldn’t let me log-on. I promise to be better next time.
Hail the conquering hero!
Thank you! Thank you! (Bows humbly)
Haha! You look like you’re about to burst into tears of joy
Well done!
I almost did!
That picture is amazing… if only I could convey my excitement without conveying creepy… nope, not possible. I will just have to keep it to myself because my reaction to your photograph is clearly inappropriate (just take my word for it)… wait, now this sounds even worse than my actual reaction… oh bother…
No worries! Words get me in trouble too.
YOU GO GIRL:)
Thank you!
Ha! I love that you’re gripping that burrito for dear life; you really conveyed the emotion of finding a sought-after treasure in this picture.
Can we come up with things for you to quest? (Like, I don’t know, Darren Criss.)
Ahhh yes, the quest for your second husband. I’ll see what I can do about that, but if I go to jail you totally have to bail me out.
yay congratulations
you did it…
Thanks! I was so excited!
The question tough is, was it as good as you remembered? Now that you’ve fulfilled your quest, I’m not sure if it’s available in Texas, but Taco Bell has a new menu item is here in NY. I personally haven’t tried it and cannot even imagine it – Beefy Nachos Burrito. Aburrito with nachos inside? Ay Carumba!
Yes, it was delicious! Also, I *have* had the new Beefy Nachos Burrito and I liked it a lot.
Best barbecue in Texas?? That’s a tall order. Plus, can one circulatory system even survive such a quest?
Well, I grew up here so I think if anyone can handle it, it would be me. Of course, I am going to pace myself. Only one BBQ place a week….that’s actually cutting back for me.
Good for you! Accomplishment does indeed taste really freaking good.
It really really does.
Congratulations. Satisfaction at only a $1.29; boy, that’s cheep…would that make you a ‘cheep date’?
I’m a super cheap date. For real.
Cant beat the price, true, but I am shocked that somewhere in Texas there isnt a better burrito available than Taco Bell !
There are definitely better burritos here but that was the burrito of my childhood and I just had to have it again.
Congratulations! Next time I loose my truck keys, I know who I’m calling.
Or *lose*. I hate when that happens
Not to worry, I do it all the time.
I’m super good at finding lost keys.
Even when they have been “loosed” upon an unsuspecting and unprepared world? You really are an amazing quester…
I am in awe of a) the impressive decor in this Taco Bell and b) the sheer size of the $1.29 burrito. Everything IS bigger in Texas! Congrats on your quest and good luck with your BBQ search…
I know, it was a particularly nice Taco Bell. Thanks so much!

(Actually, they all said ‘yea’, as in yes, because someone had just asked a ceremonial question, but when I first heard that on audiobook I heard it as ‘yay’, and it amused me to no end. )
Haha, awesome!
You win questing, lady.
You know it!
LOL…that is great. Good luck finding the best BBQ that will be hard there are tons of good ones.
So true, but I love a challenge!
Te quiero Taco Bell!!!
Me too. All the time.
