Someone could say, "The sky is blue", but you would hear, "A cat ate my hippopotamus".
Then you would argue that it cannot be true because you are the only one who knows (for an absolute fact) that rhinoceroses have three eyeballs.

Absolutely. Same with Juarez, Durango, and Monterrey.

-Asked for flour tortilla tacos in a taco place in Juarez, every Mexican in earshot looked at me like I grew a third head, even just over the border there.

-The customer manager wanted to try a fancy Mexican/Japanese fusion restaurant in Monterrey. I love Japanese food, but THIS, some things should NOT be combined. Monterrey otherwise had the best overall Mexican food in the country (with the notable exception of Los Arbolitos, to date my only attempt at Mexican seafood. Never again.)

-Durango: By far the best Chinese food I've ever had. Some little hole in the wall place near the cathedral, the owner showed us a magazine the restaurant had been featured in, still can't remember the name of it. It's gotten SO hard to find good fried rice for some reason.

Overall though, prefer American Tex-Mex ANY day. Ground beef, cheese, sour cream on a tortilla, OR burritos and nachos, something you won't find basically anywhere in Mexico except maybe an Applebees?! HELL YEAH.

Little willie the sky is blue overhead and orange to pink at the set Sun where I am.

When you have a point to make that isn't venomous hatred for the truth, well, you know by now to keep it to yourself because it'll get dismantled.

I love Mexican seafood. I have mentioned here before that one of my very favorite dishes is the coctel campechana. One of my best memories of Mexico is getting up early one morning in Puerto Penasco while the girls were still asleep, walking down to Manny's and enjoying a coctel campechana, a Cuban Montrchristo and a few bottles of Dos Equis while watching the pelicans and listening to the waves.

Back in the '70s and '80s, you could get a lobster dinner in Mazatlan for the equivalent of less than $7 US.

Back in the '70s, I ordered steak and eggs at a restaurant in Sinaloa (it was on the menu). The waiter told me "First I must find a cow." About 45 minutes later, I realized he was not kidding.





Hahah! That's awesome.

But yes! I took a few vacations through New Mexico when I lived in Texas. Drove up through North Texas to Amarillo, and then took Route-66 down to Flagstaff. But along the way, I stayed in Albuquerque. I went there three times in total I think, and a New Mexican dinner was a requirement each time. We stayed at one restaurant that was supposed to be in the top 5. It was an older (but decent sized) home that had been converted to a restaurant. It was awesome because it was in the winter (it actually snowed while we were up there). So we had dinner by the fireplace in the main area, and oh man, I don't even know what I ordered but it was so fantastic.

The next time we went there, we ate at the restaurant that was located in the Albuquerque Cultural Center / Museum. The other place I don't remember so much, but man it was fantastic.

Hah, I would try that, seriously. I think it depends on which direction the fusion was going. Like... I would definitely try a sushi roll that was Mexican inspired. I'm thinking maybe yellow rice wrapped in a flour tortilla, with a spicy tempura shrimp in the center, and then fish egg on the outside... I don't know.

BUT, the reason it caught my eye is that I immediately figured dave is digging a hole to bury red shirt guy in, cuz we know he's gonna die soon.





THAT IMAGE IS COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC

Anyone that has ever worked in a corporate environment knows that NONE of those people, other than Dave, would ever show up anywhere near where actual labor is being done.

OH, and Dave would still have a rope tied around him but nobody would be casually standing with his foot on the other end of it.
