TABLE FOR TWO: College girl invents one-handed breakfast burrito

I would think all the large women would be happy. Eureka seems to have a lot of well fed people.

wow a "breakfast burrito" i only knew of the kind with beans in them.

As opposed to the skinny-ass tweaker beanpoles that run around town? Real women have curves and meat on their bones!

Any cook, of any age and ability can see this is a starting point in its simplicity, its ease and possibilities. Run with it, but not into the ground.

Obesity and poor nutritional habits are out of control in this country amongst the younger generation, for a fact. Jennifer, and many like her, reach for the quick, the cheap, the sweet and gooey for a breakfast on the go and that quick sugar rev in the afternoon.

Kudos to Jennifer in seeing the error of her ways and creating a quick and easy, girl-on-the-go mend.

I dare say there will be many a busy mom or dad reading this simple idea, its range of flavorful and healthy tweaks, and many a kid enjoying a warm, fun and nutritious meal on their way to school or soccer practice. That they can be made ahead (all the better if the kids help make them) is quite the bonus. Try them on whole grain tortillas. And...poke the egg yolk for faster cooking.

This recipe reminds us all to make better choices.

Why would this make only the large women happy? I am a "large" woman and I know how to cook AND eat healthy. I think it's a good idea for ALL sizes of people!

This article is a fine example of why I refuse to subscribe to this rag. I miss the Eureka Reporter.

NEWSFLASH: WHITE WOMAN LEARNS HOW TO MAKE A BURRITO AND IT MAKES THE PAPERS IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

Not to mention, between all that butter, mayonnaise, cheese, & carbs in the tortilla, you've far surpassed that donut in unhealthy fats and calories.

But, I still can't get over the fact that a "college girl" "invented" a "burrito." Acutally now that I think of it, all 3 of those phrases are equivalent to rocket science in Humboldt County.

What a bunch of pathetic posers.

In The Dark, you are right on. Thank you Jennifer for writing a light and enjoyable article. Looks like you are getting up a few minutes earlier than you did in Santa Barbara. I feel for those poor folks out there that get so upset if there is good news.

I agree.

OK, the burrito is not a new invention, but is it necessary to hate on the girl for doing her job? I suppose all the whiners would be happier living in a community where they can read about the daily murder, and comment about how the world is falling apart...

It sure is necessary. The title of the article says she "Invents" one handed burrito.
I don't usually like all the TS criticism, but this one deserves it!

ive been eating the damn things for years with one hand! Get a better title.

I agree the headline is terrible. I just grow weary of the negativity of the average poster here... Some of these people sound like they want to form a lynch mob over a stupid article about a burrito. I for one am glad I live in a community where the newspaper has to resort to fluff articles, because there are not three murders to report on every day. The other annoying thing is the folks that read T-S daily and complain about it every day. It's like a Woody Allen joke... Two ladies eating at a restaurant, the first lady says, "The food here is terrible!" The other lady agrees, "Yea it sure is terrible... and the portions are too small as well."

Tonight we will pelt the T/S building with wet burritos and wrecked bicycles so they get the point!

Its a way for people to vent. It is actually theraputic that people can get on an anonymous blog and make a joke, express a point, or just hate on somebody. It is better they vent here than do something stupid on the streets.
