I had a quick trip to the sign of the Chihuahua where they have a Tuesday
special on tacos. I know they ain't authentic ... but I like 'em better than a
Big Mac. Some tacos and an order of pintos & cheese with the stuff that falls
out the tacos added in makes a nice late supper.

I like lamb occasionally. Now, if it just wasn't so obscenely expensive. I tend
to cook it at home - using the (ahem) less expensive cuts. But, only if I score
a REALLY good deal - even on the el-cheapo pieces.

Try going to your favourite (authentic) Mexican restaurant around the 5th of
May.   Bv)=
