I honestly thought Trav could polish it off, no problem. It didn't really look THAT impressive. I've seen him eat before; normally I have to feed him. He did pretty good, though. He finished the chimichangas off fairly easily, and within the first 20 or so minutes; but that's when he started to feel full. And it turned out to be a LOT of rice. He still had 15 minutes or so left, but decided that since it wasn't going to happen, he might as well stop while he wasn't feeling too awful. The waiter said that the four people that have actually accomplished this challenge (in about the last 3 years), usually start out by cutting everything up and mixing it all together, so the rice is mixed up with the chimichangas, and the spicy taco is mellowed out. Plus they eat it all within the first 25 minutes. He said if you save the rice for last, there's no way, and it expands in your stomach. He said Trav made it farther then he's seen anyone do for a while, though. Trav decided that he has met his match (I guess that's why I thought this would be no problem, I've never actually seen him be too full before! Perhaps its age? A couple of years ago, or at least when he was a teenager, he totally could have done this.)
And brewing beer with Charlie. Charlie loves to help, but it can be challenging to keep him from touching things after I've sanitized them. He's also gotten really bossy lately, and I'm sort of at a loss on how to deal with that. Must be an oldest child thing :)

The bossy thing might be a Lingen trait. Ask Travis. I was a really bossy child.
