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.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I came out as a 'normal taster' but the test was odd - if I go to the kind of restaurant I prefer ( small , not overly decorated) , I am probably paying money - and I want to trust the chef. But if I am going to a bigger/more chain or volumetric food place - I tend to be pickier. I taste the bitter in most things, but I like it- however that is how I decide good coffee from bad - good coffee should hint at bitterness, but not over whelm it. and though I occasionally eat olives, they are not my favorite

tonight's dinner

shrimp and asparagus tossed over pasta with lemon butter and fresh tomatoes. I think I'll find some basil too

I'm working with a bad translation. Anyone have an idea for an expression that would convey "human clearings" in the sense of getting the homeless off the street?
