mmm that sounds good

I always make PLENTY!!! Leftovers are good too!!

I don't know if it's just in the Southwestern United States or all over but there seems to be an abundance of Chinese Buffet restaurants here. There's 3 of them here in my little town alone. The food is ok but I prefer smaller mom and pop places that serve the real stuff. There's a sushi place an hour away from here that I just LOVE!!!

Not all mexican food is spicy Lala. It depends on what kind of chile you use. I prefer the green one for enchiladas and the red for red chile and pork. I love the smells outside the grocery stores around here in early autumn cause that's when they roast the green chile. In Las Cruces, about an hour from here they have the Whole Enchilada Festival where they make the world's largest enchilada and everyone attending get a plate of it.

lavenderhoney- I love sushi as well. While the quality of the buffet often depends on the place, I have to agree that the smaller places are better.

I live in a predominantly hispanic neighborhood so the tiny places with mexican foods and great little markets are everywhere. The street smells wonderful outside of both, even on really cold days.

MMMMM...mexican food on a cold day is the absolute best!! Warms you right down to the soul.

It does! One nice thing is there are often vendors around the neighborhood who sell corn fresh off the cob with butter, mayo, parmesan cheese and chili powder. It sounds odd but is actually quite delicious. It's just the thing I need on cold days when I'm picking my son up from school. Then there's a rice drink with cinnamon called horchata. I really like my neighborhood.

Doesn't sound odd at all. They sell these two things at a flea market in El Paso, TX.

do you gals eat menudo now that's good with lemon or lime juice and chopped onions. my bf can drink lots of horchata that's his fave drink i prefer limonade.

I've tried menudo. I like very aspect of it but the tripe though I've only tried it at the one place and it could be that it wasn't cooked very well. It was too chewy, like gristle on steak.
