I have never, ever had a bowl of chili at a restaurant anywhere that was fit to eat, in Texas, NM, AZ or CA.....or elsewhere.

I make my own....and it would knock your socks off....

Cathy,
Are you going to share your recipe? I'm sure a lot of us would love it.

I made some biscochitos the other day to celebrate the future move to Timberon. They turned out really good. I shared them with some Mexican friends who enjoyed them. I was also told they are normally cut smaller and also how to pronounce biscochitos the correct way. But the important thing is everyone enjoyed them.

Cathy, you need to swing by Clayton and to our soon to open restaurant "Desperados". They lady that cooks there is a local from Mexico. And to say shes the best Mexican cook ive tasted in my life is an understatement.
