I need to get back to focusing on work.
Undi - I hope you feel better. You have a busy week, so take care of yourself.
Boobs - tell Michael I hope he feels better, too!
Bobby - spicy guacamole and a margarita might be a good lunch idea. If I don't feel better, at least I won't care!
Yes Bobby...either that or stronger lenses. I swear my eyes aren't what they used to be.
NY- that lunch sounds GREAT! Now I want some guacamole! and of course the maguarita!
"I have lived here 17 years and I STILL cant find Mexican food like Im used to"
I ahve a friend who grew up in AZ and she says exactly the same thing. I don't understand that. Is it just that the chef's in resturants are not Mexican and therefore can't cook authentically, is it that they can't get the same ingredients here or do they try to cater to the taste of East Coasters?

No it's that there are sanitation regulations here.
AZ is where I grew up too....Growing up my family's best friends were Mexicans, so I KNOW mexican food. My friend Pat, who was the Mother used to make tortillas by the dozens...we would roast hot peppers on the griddle and put them in the tortilla with a little butter...that was heaven on earth...
I have a woman who works up in my office (she's Ecuadorian) and whenever I'm up there and we order lunch she'll ask the people what their nationality is that are preparing the food. So one day we were ordering Mexican and she asked her usually question and they responded that they were Chinese and she asked them what they knew about cooking Mexican food. It really was hysterical becuase she just went on and on...I kind of felt bad for the person on the other end of the line.
i have to agree with Bobby, on this... i, too, haven't found good, REALLY good mexican food in NYC... it's all TexMex...
Boobs, it's the Chinese guy's fault for not being quick enough to say "Mexican, obviously"
JJ- the closest I have found that isnt TOO bad is LaCocina on 9th Ave...its STILL not what Im used to but close...And there HOTsauce is laughable
Bobby I've eaten there many times when Michael lived in Hells Kitchen. It's okay, but there hot sauce leaves a lot to be deisred.
do you mean TaCocina? i haven't eaten there yet, but redhot used to live above it... the last "mexican" we had was at El Azteca, unless you count Fresco Tortilla a couple of blocks up, although they DO make their tortillas fresh right in front of you (if you're watching)... i miss my mommy's cooking...
Good afternoon.
Somms, darling, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend and the other things that happened.
Boobs, do get new glasses before you get yourself into trouble.

I'm sitting in a conference call that is SOOOOO BOOOOORING
"No it's that there are sanitation regulations here."
Rodney, do tell us more. I can't wait to hear your theories about the filthy Latino's. Please share with us.
Good afternoon Nina...yes I need to get this presciption updated. I used to have 20/20...what happened I don't know.
Boobs, I had bifocals by age 38.
It's called AGE, my dear friend.
I had 20/20 until my last birthday - and then with the flick of a switch - needed reading glasses... Can't wait to see what Mother Nature throws at me next...

Hopefully it will be me! :)
That, I think, would be the end of me.
Yes it's age. I recently read that most people need at least reading glasses at or shortly after age 30. I'll let you know when I reach that age.
Nina

Rodney - I just believe you are a force to be reckoned with...
