BLAND!! And this whole thing about how great Baja Burrito is, is so based off of NO choice and they don't do anything to make you want to come back for a STUFFED burrito?? Burrito's are overrated. They also have the worst corn tortillas. Get a clue!! I just ate at a CHAIN in Dallas and it mowed down anything here in Davy Crockett's backyard. Maybe if he would have survived the Alamo he would have moved back to Tennessee with some really great recipes. So I just might skip 3 mediocre (messican) meals for some more intensity in the taste and presentation. And if anybody wants to stay in business in this town, get to know your customer's and act like you want them to come back. Most of the restaurant's in town act like you should be grateful you get a kiddie size bowl of salsa to get the party started. So Cantina Laredo WELCOME...and just try to remember half of the people's names who are regular customer's ..and you got NO problem's being here for a LONG LONG time ! Bring as many chains to kick the blahblahblah so called (messican) food in the (nombre!!!) signed ... the el paso kid. Everybody gripes about chains…Nashville has a ton of single

Roll 'em and pat 'em and mark 'em with a B and put them in the oven for baby and me. I actually have a photo of that. And don’t forget the Bisquick biscuits.

Keep in mind that there are some loopholes: processed foods are not included in the requirement. This seems like an awfully big loophole, actually. Roasted peanuts: no label. Cooked chicken: no label. Bacon: no label. But still, this is an interesting development in the way we shop for groceries in America. A law that actually gives consumers what they want (as opposed to Tennessee’s liquor laws).

You can tell the Cougars from the Naturally Hot Older Women because the Cougars are trying waaaay to hard to get noticed and they're hitting on every male in site, including the married ones. The NHOW are minding their own business and garnering admiring glances from men of all ages. When a NHOW has too much wine she glows, the Cougar just gets loud and obnoxious. I agree, the Arrington Vineyard raspberry wine is delish. This is for fluffernutter…..

THE SANDWICHES as they were so reverently referred to when you were but a young foodie. I looked up the recipe just this past weekend as I searched for something to bring to a party. I didn't have the ingredients on hand but I promised myself to treat Alan to the little delectables soon. Thanksgiving might be just the time to put them on the table. They have to be better than anything at a restaurant. Ahh yes….. THE SANDWICHES as they were so reverently referred to when you were but a young foodie.
