I do not go back to City Center until Thursday, so I have two days to grind out major chunks of this overture,  My goal is to finish it by Sunday, Monday at the latest,  and send a scan to London.

I am quite saddened since I know the new machines are not as well made and ridiculously expensive

Sometimes the mystery of taquitos is simply “is there anything in these?” Because if it’s a store bought or cheaper variety, they can seem awfully small and not too generously filled. But a couple of years ago one brand in the frozen snacks department caught my eye, and I did a quick fry in oil, in a pan (not deep fried), and they were delicious.

BK is right, we don’t often think of taquitos, or bother getting them if we do. But they can be very tasty. And addictive. Because they’re small, and if you have a bunch of them at home, they just keep going into that fry pan so easily. And do take the trouble to do the oil thing rather than just nuking them. It only takes another minute and it makes a huge difference.

Bruce the nest taquitos are at Olvera Street.  As you walk in the north entrance, just on the left is CiIelito Lindo.  In front of the restaurant you can buy taquitos to go.  They are served with a delicious thin avacado sauce I have not found duplicated anywhere else.  I have had other thin sauces/dips but found them to be lacking in flavor.

I've only had frozen taquitos. I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, so I usually get chicken fajitas when I'm in a Mexican restaurant. And I substitute the disgusting refried beans with more rice.

Unlike Bruce or DR Chas I often think of taquitos and always check the menu for them at  Mexican restaurants.   My difficulty now is finding vegetarian taquitos.  There is a restaurant near us that will make me black bean taquitos.

Ask for whole black beans.

The owner of an excellent Mexican restaurant in Ashland surprised me with fried black bean one day.  They were delicious and not at all greesy like regualar refried beans.

DR VIXMOM - Lowe's has some nice washers that are not EXPENSIVE.....and they take your old one away.  I think it costs $15....  I bought the Roper washer.....it was $299 and it seems to be doing all right after several years. 

I did get the matching dryer that I had to replace....so I bought a more expensive one.

AND check the scratch and dent section.....my dryer had a dent in the bottom and it was $200 off!  Warranty is still good on those appliances.

Best Buy might have similar options, including purchasing the dented or scratched floor models discounted.
