tonight, i did my good deed for the month, visiting the local donation center to part with a pint of blood.

as such, i felt i should reward myself...i had been looking for an excuse to visit jimmy's corner, which is, from what i can tell, the only nearby establishment that serves gyros. it's been about 18 months since i've had gyros, and i've found that i miss gyros greatly.

sadly, when i arrived at jimmy's corner, around 6:55, i found that it was closed. things close early here.

this left me in a bind - - alas, i had banked on gyros for dinner, with no alternatives. i had pasta last night, i had no thawed meat, i didn't want to settle for cereal.

no, i'd settle for fried potatoes. good thing about fried potatoes, though...burning them is inconsequential---they'll taste about the same, i've found, regardless of how long they're cooked.

so, after 10 minutes of frying--boom--lightbulb. i diced some onion and red pepper, and threw them in a smaller pan. i threw some tortillas in the oven. i microwaved some leftover turkey, and...

success!! a turkey-potato-onion-red pepper-jalepeno burrito. i'll probably never duplicate it again, but i'm proud of my minor brainstorm.
