I am trying to stay true to the Inktober list and sketch every day. It is nice when I can combine with the Scavenger Hunts.
I worked in the big book with Micron, Zig Millenium and Rumcent pens/fine markers with ink. I don't have orange in the good pens so used the cheap Rumcent for the orange. I thought they might run out of ink, but we made it.
For Inktober Day 3 vessel - cups from our Whataburger lunch yesterday.
For Scavenger Hunt 696 #3 - eat, some Jalapeño saltines
#4 fruit, some grapes
Our niece, Mary, did some spade playing cards for suit. I thought of that but have so many sketches of cards in the big book. I may have a Whataburger something but not much. Whataburger is good for fast food. They used to cook the burgers when you ordered them but had to go fast to keep up with the other places. Still much better than the nationwide places. The Lottaburger in New Mexico is a split off I think or one way or the other. Both started in 1950 or so. Lottaburger is my all time favorite, but they are going fast food as well. When we lived in NM there was nothing better than the Lottaburger with green chile. Well maybe Shirley's taco burger.
I think I've talked about the taco burgers before. The drive-in would cut the top quarter off of a round paper plate, put a big corn tortilla on it, a half circle of hamburger, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and red chile. Fold the plate in half with the tortilla burger sticking out and staple it closed.
Lots of memories relate to food in our family. My mom would say if your were feeling bad to eat and you would feel better, to celebrate we would eat .... eat to live, etc. I'm still a huge fan of eating food cooked from scratch. Especially cakes and tortillas.
This is making me hungry. Maybe I'll have some of the saltines with some avocado. Hmmmm.

Whataburger is my favorite around here, but Blakes Lotaburger in NM is the best ever, well, if it has green chile on it. We make tortilla burgers all the time, but minus the half a paper plate.
Bag Blog, so true. Gene's brother in Albuquerque could never understand that I had to have a Lottaburger when we came back from South America. They have changed a lot now. Still better than McDonalds, etc.
Maybe the paper plates were before aluminum foil, eh? They were just so good. Maybe it was the red chile. Frito pie is not the same anywhere else either. Thanks for stopping by.
never eaten at a Whataburger, not sure i would given the chance tho since i tend to only eat fast food when desperate
a taco burger sounds good tho 😀
Jennifer Rose, you may not have an opportunity for Whataburger or Lottaburger. Whataburger is a Texas thang. Lottaburger is New Mexico. They used to be cooked when you ordered and sooooo good. Progress, eh?
Love the way they served this burger. lol Someone was thinking!
Joan, yes, the taco burgers were so unique ... and good to eat.
