We're being driven crazy by trying to ID a mystery bird in Timberon...I sent the new clues to Sis to see if she can narrow it down....LOL!!!
Is it nice and cool in your neck of the woods, DH? It hasn't gotten too bad here yet, and I have my first green tomatoes......I can't wait for that first one!
It is THAT Cathy! Usually at this time of the year we have 4 or 5 90 degree days. The highs have been 75 to 80 most days. Pretty unusual, but I love it myself. It'll get warm here soon enough!
Good afternoon......! Got all my errands done, a haircut and tried a new restaurant.
All they've done is add yet another bland, BLAH eating place in Alamogordo! Tia Lupe's is not even as good as Margo's, and that place isn't anything to write home about.
I ordered a combination plate with two green chile cheese enchiladas and two beef tacos. The usual rice and beans were included.
The chips were thick and cold, the salsa icy cold, bland and flavorless. No amount of salt (and I usually don't salt my food at all) helped. No other salsa was available. Blech.
The green chile was bland with no fire, either. The meal was served on a cold thick ceramic plate. The rolled enchiladas were filled with a small amount of grated cheese and topped with a little cold grated cheese and raw onions. The enchiladas were not even hot enough to melt the cheese within, and were tough. You could not cut them with a fork, and it was hard enough with a knife.
The rice was also flavorless....merely orange from the tomatoes it was cooked with.
Blech. So it's either Alamo Grill, Margo's or over to Tulie for Casa de Suenos.
Hey Cathy, you wanna open up your own restaurant and show them how it's done? I'm not sure what the issue is on why someone has a restaurant and the food is mostly not edible? You would think that the cooks/owners would take pride in what they're serving people.
Big no on opening a restaurant, LOL!! I don't want to work that hard!! But, y'all, I guess I am going to have to go to El Paso to get some really decent Tex-Mex/Mexican food, so I had better start learning my way around that crazy place!!
A hot plate with the cheese well-melted would have been a huge improvement! Margo's does that, though, and even though it's not the greatest, it's better than Tia Lupe's.
Ruidoso has some decent places, too, so that's another option. Another Texan told me that Casa Blanca (I think that was the name of it) is good, so I'll try that the next time I'm up there. Lucy's is good, too. At least they brought me some decent salsa from the kitchen....and I asked for the hot green chile--and got just that!
