Because books.

Birthday Soup is an excellent title for a children's book.

Wait a minute - they've got a way to find out for sure

I don't even need the food coloring. I've got zillions of those things on my tongue. I always thought I was a supertaster -- I can't do anything too spicy, and grapefruit and coffee make me cringe.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

You could even put some of those pretty floating candles in it, as long as they weren't scented, and then I could make a wish on my soup.

One of my favorite breakfasts was my grandaddy's tamales with fresh honey.

Sweet tamles? We always try to get them at xmas. You can get them single order during the rest of the year from one tortillaria's restaurant, but at xmas, the restaurant pretty much goes to wholesalemode: bags of tamales in half dozen increments, gallons of pinto beans and menundo,feed sacks of masa flour. You have to be sure to order the sweet ones ahead or they run out.

It's kinda awesome that traffic gets backed up on the main streets leading to the place.

Food becomes fuel because I get too particular. It's like I short out.

Tell me how the sweet one differ from the regular. Are they still spicy? Is it just a sauce?

No, they're the regular spicy kind, like spicy sausage and honey.

Sweet tamales that we get have cinnamon,pecans (a major local crop) and raisins inside. They aren't spicy (though I've been told that you can use ginger in them, but this place doesn't.)
