My Amerisleep AS3 Unboxing Video (Surprise, my voice is ridiculous!) If I can (just barely) do it, you can totally tackle a bed-in-a-box by yourself. Updated 10/15/22 Amerisleep's AS5 was recently featured as the 'Best Soft Mattress in a Box' by Good Housekeeping , with the panel of reviewers noting: Pressure relief for side sleepers Taller than other boxed mattresses Good customer service Amerisleep Mattress Reviews We've been happy Amerisleep customers since purchasing our first AS3 mattress more than 9 years ago. Now we also have an AS2 and an AS4 (the AS3 is still our favorite). Born with chronic insomnia (even as a baby - my family insists I was a nightmare), the struggle to improve my sleep is my life. My husband, the overly-analytical mechanical engineer, was initially skeptical of a mail-order mattress, but he was quickly won over. 2012: Wine glass test, sans wine. I was fairly confident our brand-new mattress would pass with f
The reason I decided to make taco salad for dinner was so I could take a photo of the awesome tortilla taco salad shells I make for my blog. I've heard that you should always be sure you have all the ingredients you need before you begin making a recipe.
I discovered halfway into cooking that Sexy Nerd had eaten the last tortillas.

Taco Salad Recipe
Serves 3
Step one: Heat a little olive oil in a pan and cook some meat. In this example, we are having steak.
Step Two: Add 3/4 C of marinade. No marinade? Use the juice of 1 lime, cilantro, garlic, and 1/2 C of salsa. Reduce heat and cover.
We did have marinade, but only because I found it in the clearance isle at Target.
Cut up 1 head of romaine lettuce, 2 tomatoes, and dice an onion. Toss everything together in a large bowl.
Add 1/2 a can of kidney beans and 1/2 a can of corn to the bowl. I always rinse my canned vegetables first, as I've heard it reduces their insanely high sodium content. I'm not 100% sure that this is true, but it doesn't hurt.
Add a few handfuls of shredded cheese. Ideally, for Taco Salad, you want to use cheddar or pepperjack cheese. Sexy Nerd also finished off our appropriate cheese choices, so our Taco Salad was made with mozzarella and parmesan.
Yuck! Isn't this photo gross? Why would I even post it here? Because it's the next step, and the important thing is that it tastes good, right? Remove your pan of meat from the stove and add a 1/2 C sour cream and 3 heaping spoonfuls of salsa. Mix everything together and throw it in with your salad. Top with crushed red pepper and crushed tortilla chips.
Mmmm, if only I had a margarita!
Sexy Nerd loved this salad so much that he ate the 3rd portion directly from the serving bowl!
