I spent over an hour today with Maria, my mortgage broker. We discussed 5/1 ARMS, we talked about 7/23 balloons, we talked about fixed-rates, cost of index loans, all kinds of crap. The interest only loan looks quite good to me. I'm the sort of person who is disciplined enough to send the extra $200.00 a month toward principle. I'm the kinda guy who sends the rebate forms in. I'm the kinda guy who pays off the 90-days interest free in 80 days. I can do that stuff.
But more importantly - There is a really good new breakfast treat available in your neighborhood.
It's known as The McGriddle.
It is the usual McDonalds sausage patty, which is almost palatable, but trick is that it is sandwiched between these two pieces of space-age pancake-like material. In this substance is the taste of maple syrup BAKED RIGHT IN!
It's genius.
They also grill the golden arches right onto the pancake-like matter so that you can remember what you're eating.
The McGriddle. It beats the hell out of shopping for a mortgage.
McGriddle Bad Beat Update
This morning I woke up dreaming of the delicious sausage McGriddle so as soon as I could, I showered, shaved, suited up and headed for the Golden Arches. At the drive-thru window I ordered a #11 because you get Monopoly pieces with the hash brown thing. The #11, as I'm sure you all know, is a SAUSAGE McGriddle, The Hash-Brown Thing, and a beverage of my choice (coffee). I'm 1/2 way down HWY 7 when I unwrap my McGriddle and discover the horror that is THE McDONALDS EGG SQUARE.
Yes. I was given a Bacon, Egg, & Cheese McGriddle.
Once the egg square hit the asphalt it wasn't that bad.
I need Tennessee Aveune.
Posted by Michael at October 25, 2003 12:14 AMThe McGriddles are the most digusting thing I've ever tasted. I had one a few months ago. I think I just got rid of it yesterday.
McGriddles are the nuts! What is going on with the place in St. Jewish park?
Posted by: jesco at October 25, 2003 08:23 AMI accidentally bought a McGriddle because it looked good and the signs were all in Spanish so I didn't know what was in it. Grrrrrrrrrrossssss!
Posted by: Jen at October 25, 2003 10:01 AMPoor Michael... bought a Mcgriddle and it back fired. Damn Egg surprise! Thats what happens when you try something new... just the reason I stick with the classic sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit. Can't go wrong.

Personally, they seem a little odd to me. Maybe i'll try one.. maybe I'll stick to the Hardee's sausage croissant. God I miss L.A.
Posted by: Jerry at October 25, 2003 03:12 PMI can't remember the last time I was at a fast food joint during breakfast hours but if I should find myself there I will definately have to try one.
