I am spontaneously inspired to buy unneeded food when I am walking up and down the aisles in the grocery store. Today I saw a box that made burritos, and I could not resist. It is hard to live without Mexican food if u=you are accustomed to having it a couple times a month. I miss it. After I cut up the chicken, tomatoes and lettuce, I walked up to the cafeteria. The chef was more than happy to help me cook my chicken. Unsurprisingly, I was disappointed by the burritos. It was a like a South African was trying to make Mexican food… duh. However, the quesadilla I had for breakfast was incredible. Hooray for Mexican food!

Comida Mexicana no bueno en Africa
McKayla, As you travel the world you will continue to realize how lame the Mexican Food is EVERYWHERE. When I did a consulting job in Germany for a group that wanted to do a upscale Chipoltle type concept there it was literally impossible to do it because nobody made tortillas and the spices were unavailable. What is so ironic is that the SUPER premium brand in Germany was.............trumpets please....OLD EL PASO.

burritos, enchiladas, whatever
Hi McKayla, You would've loved my lunch today. New restaurant in Boulder with a special today! Chile pork enchiladas with an egg! I was a little hesitant about that egg, but hey, if you can try all the new things you are, I can certainly handle an egg on an enchilada. Welllll, it's neither good nor bad. It added nothing as far as I can tell. Except it differentiates this cook from another. My test is always, would I have it again. The answer is yes. What we can't get here is TexMex. I'm hungry for that the way you're hungry for Mexican. Small price to pay for your adventures and my proximity to my children and grandchildren. Love, Linda C.
