Foodsavers at Costco.

The totopos are cut-up corn tortillas, fried. But the red salsa.....of my dreams! The green salsa just a bit over my preferred heat level, but manna from Heaven for someone else!

Indeed! Best Tex-Mex IHave had in forever! Best salsa, best guacamole, best everything!

Just bought a Mexican nebulizer for medication I need....the assembly directions are all in Spanish, which I speak fairly well, but not the terms for the different parts, and there are many. Also, this for me would be a challenge in English, since if it plugs into the wall, it is NOT my friend! Who can put this machine together for me? Happily pay....

A big outdoor table in the shade, covered in newspapers, piled high with big, bright red mudbugs and corn and potatoes, some jalapenos, garlic butter....and oh, the joy of suckin' them heads!!!!

What if we could have ALL of these things at one huge died-and-gone-to-heaven food event!!!! Love to try some of that Canadian duck.....

Oh, bdlngton, I may be WRONG for you, but I am oh so RIGHT for me!!!!

Fresh, perfectly boiled blue crab! Y'all can keep the Dungeness.....

You are a gracious gentleman, rafterbr!

Bless you! Grandma Nini had a small chicken n' egg business on the Galveston Highway in the 40's and 50's and we either grew, raised, or caught every single thing we ate... I thought we were rich because we had a cow, and Nini taught me to churn butter. My heart will always be in the garden....

Thank you! You shoulda seen 'em full of the best fried chicken on the planet!

Oh Lordy, NO! Sorry if I gave that impression! They were my Granny's who raised me!

Alpha 1, I'm guessing mine were made 100+ years ago.

Oh rafterbr, SOOOO sorry for the death of your pan!!!! I have  half a dozen of my beloved granny's cast iron skillets I wouldn't take love nor money for!

WalMart likes to tell you your card is declined if you try to use it in the old folks' line, I suspect so they have a shot at short changing you. Just stand there and tell them to run it again, as long as it takes.....never more than once for me! 

Conejorapido, ever been to Houston??? Or do you have O+ blood, the absolute blood of choice of those of the mosquito persuasion???

Yes, Lakeside7, I do expect a credible answer from this board...much more so than from some dazed young waiter who has been told to say Anything but "Basa" even if that's what it is.

Cider vinegar, diluted 1tbsp to a liter after a bath, rubbed in, and then rinsed after 15 minutes, has been a miracle for me. It corrects the ph of the skin after a bath.

What kind of fish does Emilia's use?

SOOOO happy for you both! Those bratty girls must have some bratty parents!

Angus, where do I get that sticker????

Thank you! It is, thanks to my magician mechanic, a true gentleman!

The dyed-blonde middle-aged (I'm being generous here) three who viciously honked at me this afternoon while my obviously disabled car was on the shoulder of the carretera, flashers on, just in front of the OXXO, inconveniencing them by perhaps 15 inches, while waiting a very short time for my mechanic to arrive. A kind young Mexican man asked if I was "OK"?

Those words AIN'T Feliz Navidad.

Thanks, Chillin. I am still recovering from a serious car crash (gringa talking on her phone failed to see the red light) and thought it might help the muscle soreness.

Where to buy? Are there different strengths available?

Prayers for you and Chicka, Ken!
