tortillas

Thank you to BAM for carrying a six pack of Shiner and an array of Central Market goodies: fat free tortillas, southwestern tortillas, chocolate truffles, and tortilla chips with flax seeds.  How I miss the grocery stores down there.  Sadly, we ate the last of the tortillas yesterday.  Note that BAM's trip took place the last week of March.  To savor every bite of the tortilla, they were stored in the freezer.  <Insert tear here> Alas, they're gone.

Chicago's mex food is bad.  Even the taquerias aren't up to par - even when you're drunk.

For example, me, tollwaywarrior and Jesse sat in the patio of a local mexican joint called Nuevo Mexicana on Clark Street.  The food sucked and for margarita's they salted our glasses with table salt.  How atrocious.  How I wished I could go home and nuke a Central Market tortilla to snuggle with first and then eat.

Again thank you BAM for the little piece of Texas.
