Note to self:
When pusruing the bottom of a plate of mexican cuisine, always stop right about ten minutes before the point when you feel satisfied. Otherwise you will end up feeling as stuffed as a chili relleno...

chile relleno...great stuff smiley - bigeyes. we have a mexican restaurant at the front of our neighborhood with the best food. i find myself waddling out of there more often than my waste line needs, just can't seem to leave the food sitting there on my plate smiley - winkeye.

I keep trying new places, mostly in Birmingham's homewood/southside area, but some around Hoover where I work. Sabor Tropical and sabot latino are my favorites so far.

I know Demetri's, never been there though. And definately try one of the Sabors, they have $1 marguerita specials, too. One location has it Wednesday and the other thursday..I can't remember which is which. If you worked near Denetri's then you must also have tried Zoe's?

ah, but i don't consider it to be a problem, more of an obstacle..a reverse obstacle if you will. something that i have to deal with after getting to enjoy wonderful mexican food. *rubs belly while grinning hungrily* smiley - monster

WOW!, i can't believe it's been 5 days since i was over here, this darn month is flying by, month heck! year! it is july, must, believe it or not, begin doing layaway's for christmas. with 4 teenagers to buy for and then everyone else if i don't get an early start i end up rushing around like crazy at the last minute smiley - winkeye.

we went to smith lake for the 4th and decided bbq'd ribs would be best. those turned out to be the best ribs i ever ate. i don't know if they were that good or if i was just that delirious from the heat smiley - laugh. sounds crazy but 'john boy and billy's' grilling sauce (hot and spicy) does wonders on a grill smiley - smiley.

My roomate and I took our kayaks to Oak Mtn lake on the 4th. It was wonderful. I'm not much of a rib person, but for steaks or burgers I like Dales or Moores.smiley - biggrin
