I've had some great Tex-Mex in El Paso and across the border from there. Find the little Mexican Mercados, and you can always find some little lady starting her little kitchen up with great food. We have several around here, and my favorite is in Siler City. I asked the lady "Esposa?" and she went shyly "No esposa!" I did the eyebrow waggle and went "ME no esposa!" and eyebrow waggled again, pointing at the food she had put on my plate and rubbing my tummy, "Muy bien Esposa!". We could only half-ass understand each other, but we laughed at my bachelorhood plight and how great she cooks. I had Barbecoa, two homemade tamales, rice, beans, several slices of avocado, and a nice stack of homemade flour tortillas, the REAL deal! I'd have married her too, if she hadn't been in her 80's. <eyebrow waggle> Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ...the Sin of Ignorance, and ...the Sin of Stupidity.
