No biggie.  GPS will get you here and just take you the long way as it doesnt
know all the 4 way stop signs.  It makes you do like a turn every street as
it wants to get you there 'least feet traveled' and doesnt know about that.

No worries! I'll have eggs and basics like garlic here.  Normal stock for us.
 Some things others think of as normal stock, arent normal here so it's good
to mention them.

Mloo will cry but bacon isnt normal here as an example.  ;-)  Oh, I often get
some but it's a reduced sodium brand that may not suit all and a weekend of
whatever another may prefer works for us.

Have to check, not sure they use either.  Mexico is a big place.  This may be
a quizine version of it you have not encountered? Mexico is like the USA
where New Orleans aint like NY city or Oskaloosa Iowa.

It's definately NOT tex-mex.  Not USA border sort of place.

Ok, need a confirm from Dale and Gail then.  No need to push anyone's
schedules.  Heck, it they get here Friday, we just work some fun in that suits
us who are here.


Horchata? I do not recall that name on the menu.  Doesnt mean they dont, but
some things you just 'ask for to see if they have it'.
