Hot food for a cold evening
Even someone as talented as me in the kitchen (false modesty is neither necessary nor virtuous) sometimes needs inspiration. When the opportunity to make a counter offer against a meal in a local chicken kitchen was offered, I was ready. One method for combatting the cold of winter is to eat something from a warmer climate. How about Mexico? We happen to have a small restaurant in the area, Senor Sombrero. Our previous visit was fun, so we bundled up and headed down to their site in an older city home.
My knowledge of traditional Mexican cuisine is close to null; Taco Bell shouldn’t serve as a model of anything. Here, the food is prepared in their kitchen, and the various styles of salsa are, well, HOT. Nothing in a bottle from the local supermarket even comes close. The different forms of bread are all delicious, and I’ve come away with a few more ideas for our next attempt at home cooking. This is good.
I’m involved in a “support” role for a local non-profit business. Not a business that doesn’t make a profit; this is rather something attached to the educational process, and when things go terribly wrong my duty is help put the bus back on the rails. Mixed metaphors fit here. Anyhow, one of the products offered by the business is multiple copies of a client’s DVD media. Oddly enough, people won’t accept that the DVD, something that is either hidden in a case or hidden inside the computer drive, might be marked with a simple Sharpie. Printed labels are job one. Do you realize that a label (if printed by a local copy shop) costs more than the DVD media. Up to 500% more. There’s something wrong here.
