Burrito Night, 8-21-06: There was no August 21st Burrito Night. We were spending the night in Prairie du Chien, a town sorely lacking in the burrito category. But Kia gamely ordered fajitas at the restaurant where we ate and with deft maneuvering of a tortilla managed to create a TINY burrito, or burritino. Although she managed to preserve at least the spirit of burrito night, the fajitas unfortunately weren't very good.
8-28-06: At the west side Laredo's. The walls are full of murals featuring sombreroed men walking around the little Mexican town square, chatting up the demure, blushing senioritas and there's much guitar-playing and merry-making. Could there be a more perfect environment in which to enjoy a burrito?? I ordered the burritos Mexicali, consisting of two smaller burritos with shredded beef and stuff inside and covered in a red sauce that wasn't all that spicy, but it wasn't ketchup, either. Nor was it catsup. Actually, it was pretty good, and there was a different kind of salsa inside the burritos and all the flavors complimented one another nicely. Kia ordered the fiesta burrito, which was full of steak bits and covered in some variety of cheese goo. It was as if they had read Kia's mind when they invented it.
And now, who knows what future burritos await? With beans? Without? Cilantro as a garnish or tucked inside? And the complementary chips and salsa: what of those? Only time will tell, my friends. Time only.
THE BIG TIME ELUDES GEOFF AND KIA YET AGAIN, PART ONE:
Last week we got a call from a guy who makes SIMPLY THE MOST DELICIOUS PORK NOODLE DISH and he said they may need us to fly to New York for like a week to play in their musical that's doing a short run in conjunction with the New York Fringe Festival. Then it turned out they didn't need us. Oh, well. We'll make it to Broadway one day. One....day....
