The Best Tacos in Fresno
If you’re looking for the best tacos in Fresno, where would you go? To Chris Meat Market.
You know it means something when patrons comment on not being panhandled for money as a positive when visiting the Meat Market. So what can you expect? Cheap ($1.50) but very tasty tacos! Cash only please.
We had three tacos – carnitas, chicken, and chorizo. These were all in small corn tortillas with the protein chopped and prepped when ordered. Each taco had some zing to it but surprisingly, the chicken taco was the spiciest.
Washed all this down with some grapefruit soda.
Outside seating is available for eating but just a warning that you probably will be approached by panhandlers so takeout is highly recommended.
What Is This?
Dear readers, need some help identifying this item. We think it’s baby-related but can’t figure out what it actually is.
Since this item now belongs to an newly expecting couple, I told them it was a breast pump. 😉
What’s More Incredible Than Incredible?
It has to be the Incredible 2 powered by HTC and Droid. I mean, if being Incredible isn’t enough, being Incredible 2 must be even more incredible right?? Now that’s incredible!
While Apple product names are boring ala iPhone, iPod, iPad, at least there’s no sense of hyperbole with incremented names (e.g. iPhone 3, 4, 5).
First Stop: Grocery Shopping
One of the first stops is to stock up on food supplies and to see what new items may find its way to Hawaii.
I saw quite a few different Doritos flavors which seem targeted at the local demographic, so I doubt they’ll hit the islands. Canned coffee and espresso drinks are back to Trader Joe’s. I remember Trader Joes’s used to have these canned drinks, but in recent years, I hadn’t seen them. They’re back now. I was told La Creme natural creamer was already available in Hawaii (and has an unusual taste) after I purchased a bottle. Yes, for a natural diary creamer, my expectation of La Creme didn’t match up. Maybe I’m just used to fake, artificial non-diary creamers.
Design Tips from Hilton Los Angeles
An unplanned overnight layover in Los Angeles was not welcomed but a stay in the Hilton Los Angeles provided these design tips.
More Creamer Crowds
Wow, I thought the coffee creamer market was already crowded, but it got even more crowdeder. Beyond its recent Cafe Collection line, Coffee-mate also has it all-natural creamer, Natural Bliss, featuring real milk and cream. Three flavors are available – vanilla, caramel, and sorry, forgot the third.
With all its naturalness, I hope Natural Bliss isn’t like the off-tasting La Creme.  Found Natural Bliss at Safeway in Hawaii.
Travel Tip: No Sausages
Just a tip for the travelers. Don’t hand carry sausages on airplanes. If you do, expect delays at the security screening station. Must be those oblong, cylindrical solids look suspicious on the scanners. Doesn’t matter if it’s Portugese sausage or a salami, the TSA staff will want to look at your sausage.
Software Updates Aplenty
After being on vacation for a bit, I come back and have lots of software updates to do.
- Mac App Store
- Sparrow Lite

Nice, FAT-ty Kicks

Crowded Cream Market
Been to the grocery store lately? There’s a new coffee creamer trying to break into the crowded market dominated by Coffee-mate and International Delight. Look for Baileys Coffee Creamers (yes, that Baileys) and see if this new creamer can make it.
I tried the Original Irish Cream and thought it was okay. Baileys has a creamier consistency compared to Coffee-mate and International Delight, but nothing really set it apart.
Interestingly, the Baileys Creamers web site features an iPhone app called Coffee! The app costs $2.99 and displays various pictures of coffee (not associated with Baileys). Hmmm, I’ll pass on the app and will pass on any more Baileys creamer.
