Bitterness starts out small. An offense burrows its way into our hearts. We replay it in our minds, creating deep ruts that will be hard to build back up. We retell our hurts to any available listener, including each sordid detail. We enlist support, pushing us further into our resentment. We hear the offending person's name and cringe. We decipher the offense as intentional and our offender as full of spite. We look for other reasons, both real or imagined, to dislike our villain. With each new piece of information, we form another layer of bitterness. We fool ourselves into thinking no one will know, but anger and resentment have a way of seeping into everything. Resentment is like a beach ball we try to submerge in the water. No matter how valiant our efforts, it pops up with all its vitality, splashing everyone around.

INSTRUCTIONS

Thought I'd pass this recipe along since we just made it and I can vouch
how good it is first hand (and full stomached). This is a modification to a
recipe Cindi has made for years. (We added bell peppers and onions and used
smoked brisket).  I used several bags of sliced brisket from the freezer to
clean it out a little in preparation for the next one I'll be doing soon.
In a large sauce pan or dutch oven,  saute bell pepper, onion,  and green
chiles with garlic powder in about 3 tablespoons of oil.  When onions and
bell peppers are tender, add brisket, salsa, and gravy.  Cook over low heat
for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Sample often.
Spoon meat mixture and  cheese onto flour tortilla and wrap.  There's lots
of variations possible on this but the important ingredient for the special
flavor is the Kentucky Fried Chicken gravy.  These burritos can be frozen
and  are great when re-heated.
