I make <a href="http://www.jetcityorange.com/AltoidsTin" rel="nofollow">pocket shrines</a> out of Altoids tins. My youngest son told me about cooking with Altoids but I didn't believe him. I stand corrected. Well I thought I’d heard it all. I make pocket shrines out of Altoids tins. My youngest son told me about cooking with Altoids but I didn’t believe him.

Next time I think I might up the amount of crushed mints by 25% or so. There's a <a href="http://www.bloglines.com/blog/RichMagahiz?id=120" rel="nofollow">picture on one of my blogs</a>.

Then I finely chopped the handful of violets I had as a flecky purple visual to convince people they were tasting violet flowers. It worked. People were amazed. Don't tell anyone! <em>Oh, what a nice idea! They have Rose flavored ones too? My Granny is the one who introduced me to Altoids as a kid.

Now I'm going to feel guilty because I haven't been there in soooo long. That's too bad- I thought they had a good geographic region given that there wasn't too much other burrito stuff going on close by to them (well, Burrito Amigos at 24th and Will). I liked how Santa Fe had a more distinct set of menu options than the whole Burrito Boy/Burrito Amigos entity-borg. Campus area has some nice non-franchished (I think?) spots: the burrito place at the corner of Taylors, Shanti (new Indian place), Sakura, Pato Verde (ate their tacos yesterday!), Caspians, Cafe Sienna (ohh, drool...), Maple Garden, and Holy Cow inside the EMU. Though they don't have the decor that Santa Fe had- the taken over Taco Bell look, which was awefully endearing. I wonder what will happen with the spot? </em> Oh no!

Santa Fe Burrito is closed, my sole bastion against franchised fast food. I'm done, thank you.. I’m sorry, but I have nowhere else to cry.
