Republic of Texas in McAllen has a great pizza with capers.....at least they did about 4 years ago when I was down there. I hope they're still open!

I had the Margherita Pizza and the Chicken Poblano soup. OH so good! I've never enjoyed a pizza with capers so much as at Stonewerks. I'm keeping the suggestions above on my list for new places to eat. |
In that same area ( a bit up from the Quarry at Lincoln Heights) is Panera. Good stuff. |

alright here's something that may interest you guys. You can upload a photo of your face and then the program will match it with celebrity look-alikes. I tried it and I got some weird combos...some old dude I never heard of supposedly looks like me. There was also some young teen kid that supopsedly looks like me. However, the highlight was that I was able to balance it out with a 60% probability hit of looking like Hugh Jackman

Art Studios like Clay Casa
Does anyone know if there are any art studios similar to Clay Casa or Paint Paper Scissors in the far Northwest (West? Potranco/SW area) side of town? I am trying to find some place like that to take my son to. We used to frequent Clay Casa when we lived in the area a few years ago, but it just seems too far now. I want to sign him up for some kinda art camp. If anyone has any suggestions let me know! |

I ordered the chili relleno (sp?) BLAH!! I only took two bites. My dh ordered some chicken dish and he didn't finish it (very unusual for him not to finish).
To begin with when we all got our food (6 in our party), we didn't have any silverware. We asked the waitress and she brought it in about 5 minutes. She was very slow with everything she did. She filled up by dh's sprite glass with water.
The one good thing was the tortillas. They were soft and fresh.
I just don't get how there are SO MANY cars there all the time.
The place was MUCH better before the expansion. Mamacita's has them beat hands down, IMO.

That's been my experience as well. Never want to go back. Not sure how they have the business that they do have. Kinda like Earl Abel's. People swear by them. I went again yesterday (someone else chose the location, had to go), and yet again had an unpleasant experience.
Mamacita's though- yum! Plus the atmosphere is fun without being obnoxious.

English growing fast in China, but what's more amazing is that China also lays claim to the fastest rate of growth for Christianity.

LOL!!!! We played around with that not that long ago. I never heard of the people that I supposedly looked like. I put in 4 very different pics of my daughter and kept coming back with Eva Longoria or Kate Hudson??? Other than celebrities they don't resemble each other at all. 
I think I had some guy in the mix too! too funny! He was pretty though!  |

Perti....have you called any of the art museums, or Blue Star? Also the Southwest School for Art and Crafts....they may have some recommendations for you for summer kid camps! |
