Good morning, friends.

What's the difference between a beef burger and a hamburger?
-
Good morning, all.
-
I am up early today because this could be a bit of a crazy four-day week with various things going on.
-
I might get a call from the contractor about the next phase of work on the house, and I have plenty of things to get done here anyway.

Tonight, a movie: Fail Safe at the Bedford Playhouse.
Which reminds me - all of a sudden it’s this coming weekend that we see the Todd-AO Oklahoma! there as well. It still feels like that should be another month away somehow. But the time, she flies, you know…and we’re rapidly approaching Leslie Uggams month.

You know what else is not a Hitchcockian thriller (though it is described as such)?
Stranger By the Lake (2013), a French film from France.
Lots of graphic gay sex and an ambiguous ending.

Happy
Monday Tuesday, all!
I hope everyone had a pleasant, but reflective, Memorial Day!

Good morning, all!

I really screwed up today. I have my lab work this morning for next week's doctor checkup. I cannot eat anything before the lab.
When the lab was part of my HMO, I would schedule it for 8:30, get in, get home, clean up the kitty dishes and have breakfast. Now, however . . .
-
my HMO dropped the lab, and I have to go to Quest Diagnostics, and I really dislike the office at 86th Street because trying to deal with its doors and buzzers with a walker is ridiculous. I'm trying a new location today to see if it's any better.
My big mistake: scheduling too late in the morning because I also must deal with Access-a-Ride to get there. Damn.
-
So, I figure by the time I leave the lab, I will be faint from hunger.

TOD
I've got two good Mexican places around me. There were three until the pandemic shut down my beloved Cafe Frida. I do miss it.
My two current choices are Nina's Great Burrito Bar - http://ninasgreatburritobar.com
El Mitote - https://www.elmitoteny.com
Nina's has wonderful burritos and tacos; El Mitote has the best guacamole since Cafe Frida folded, and I love their chicken enchiladas.
-
Good morning, all.

TOD 1: Huachinango is a favorite. Red snapper in a sauce with plenty of butter, olives, capers and more.

-
Tlayudas with shredded chicken can be wonderful.
-
Carnitas tacos can’t be beat.
-
I’m also partial to a pork chop taco in a hot corn tortilla.
-
Corn in cup is a simple street food dish I make at home.
-
Anything with a salsa verde or tomatillo sauce, especially when I make it myself.
-
My homemade quesadillas with guacamole and salsa is probably as close to Mexican cooking as I come.
-
Enchiladas divorciadas has two different sauces, red and green, to add color to your plate.

I’d eat them.

I had enchiladas once, at a HHW gathering. They were good, as I recall, but I never had the urge to revisit the experience.
-
A really rich chile colorado sauce over anything is also great.
-
Two!
-
Vixdad likes chipotle but they put that awful ciltrano in everything so I can’t eat there.
-
I like Taco Bell
-
I love Mexican breakfast dishes, like huevos rancheros, breakfast tacos and an egg-filled chile relleno.
-
I can feel real Mexican food eaters cringing
-
There used to be a Mexican restaurant not far from here, part of a chain, I believe, called El Torito that had wonderful steak and chicken fajitas. But they went out of business about 35 years ago and the restaurant became an Olive Garden .

That's an interesting tidbit to me, because I knew El Torito in California. It was kind of a staple there among friends and/or co-workers, but I can't remember for the life of me where it was located. When I moved down to Redondo Beach there was one at the Pier, and it's still there, but I must have known one somewhere around Beverly Hills or maybe Marina del Rey. I see there's one at the Marina now, but it's not in a location that rings a bell.
Anyhoo...I'd always figured it was only a Southern California chain, and maybe it mostly was, but when I moved east in 1989, what did I find right here in Danbury but an El Torito? It was just like the CA ones, and a nice comfortable place, and I was sad when it and its neighbors got completely razed for a business park. And now it is revealed that vixmom had one in Lawn Guyland as well. I wonder how those east coast ones came about, and why they completely disappeared.
It's not that El Torito is a primo Mexican restaurant, by any means. It's probably quite average as those things go, but I'm going on 30-year-old memories. It apparently is thriving in California as we speak, with some 69 locations.

Too many Mexican food memories to try to dredge up, but here are a few random ones:
One of the first "good" sit-down Mexican meals I ever had was at a restaurant called Villa Taxco, on Sunset - I think it was between Highland and La Brea, near the IHOP. Not to be confused with Gardens of Taxco just off Santa Monica in West Hollywood, a more eccentric but extremely popular independent place.
Some of the best I had was off a food truck in the industrial section of L.A. when I'd visit a plant we represented. This was way before food trucks became the THING they are now, when they existed to serve workers where there weren't a lot of food places around. This was akin to some of the great street tacos and the like in Mexico itself.
Likewise, other places with the best food were invariably the mom-and-pop joints that were literally everywhere in L.A.
I always think of quesadillas at Oblath's (across from Paramount) which I discovered while walking around when seeing films at the Encore Theater on Melrose. It was the first place I had quesadillas with corn tortillas instead of flour. (Quesadillas and good nachos - real ones, not what people nowadays have been trained to think are nachos - were always favorites, and I'd often make a meal of either or both.)
Another favorite was El Carmen on W. 3rd St. in L.A. I believe it's still there, at least in name. For us in the 1970s and 1980s it was a plain but familiar and affordable Mexican food paradise. Just one in a million hole-in-the-wall jernts, always bustling, always immensely satisfying.

I'm up, I'm up - four hours of sleep - got up at five-thirty.
-
Gardens of Taxco was a favorite of my father.
-
El Carmen was a favorite of cousin Dee Dee but unfortunately I had a bum meal there and have never been back.
-
Our local Mexican restaurant, very traditional, when I was growing up was great - Casa Cienega. I can still taste their fresh corn tortillas.
-
The couple of times I got really sick after a meal somewhere, it took me YEARS to go back, either to the restaurant where it happened or to the dish itself if it wasn't at a restaurant.
First time was from a cherry pie. I'm sure it wasn't the pie, which a neighbor had baked, but just whatever was going on with my 7- or 8-year-old digestive system that evening. But I couldn't stand the thought of cherry pie till a decade later when I took the plunge and had a great one, and I wondered how I could ever have lived without it.
Another time was after eating some kind of barbecue dish at a restaurant in Cleveland. In the middle of the night I more or less exploded - from both ends, to be sure, in case you were wondering - and I couldn't go near that place OR a barbecue dish after that. (Fortunately, I did get over the barbecue issue, and whatever the weird dish was, it wasn't what we know to be real barbecue anyway.)
-
My first, and all-time favorite, Mexican restaurant was El Nibble Nook in the near-west ‘burbs of Detroit. Went there with my high school Spanish club, then on my own until I moved away. To my delight, I’ve discovered this morning that they’re still in business and now have 2 locations.

Glad to hear your morning went so smoothly, DR Elmore 😘

Good news DR ELMORE.
-
I'm going to start calling my kitchen El Nibble Nook.
I like the chimichongas at a local place called El Guavos.
I liked my first meal at Chipotle a few weeks ago, but it was a bit expensive.

About Chipotle, I was surprised last time I was there at how quickly you can get your dish up to $20 without really being extravagant.

The one on LI was in Massapequa

When we moved from So. California to New Jersey we couldn't get Mexican food. I could make good enchiladas, except the avacados were from Floriday and we didn't like them, even for quacamole.
A couple of years after we left NJ we went to stay with a friend who took us to this new Mexican restaurant that had recently opened. To my surprise and delight it was an El Torito's.

Both...different people, though. A couple of people are allergic, and a few who think it tastes like soap. I don't mind it at all.

I don't add cilantro to food any more. While Keith doesn't think it taste like soap he isn't a big fan of it. I don't prefer dishes made with it when I leave it out, and if I am serving food to people I know too man who think it ruins everything.

Oh, my goodness! I didn't know that they could be that bad. :-\

Storage was frustrating - didn't find what I was hoping to find, but DID find some Sugar CDs as well as a box of the long-gone Two for the Road and Breaking Away.
It's always frustrating not finding what you're looking for. :P

I have some bluetooth ear buds somewhere (a Sondheim and Bernstein reference), but I have no idea where.
-
Well, a few days ago, I rediscovered my mini SNES Classic Edition and I've been playing it.
-
There are certain levels where I could just go right through them without any trouble.
-
But then there were others where I've had to repeat them literally dozens of times before I could finish them even once! :o
-
But I got through it to the end of Super Mario World.
-
However, I didn't have to start from the beginning this time.
-
I finished a game that was in progress.
-
Now, I think I'll restart one of the games from the (not "Super") NES Classic Edition.
-
And now, it's time for the dreaded...
-
PAGE SEVEN DANCE!!
-
I never had an original NES system, so most of the games on the console are foreign to me.
-
I only had (and actually still have) an original Super Nintendo System that I bought new back in the early 1990s.
-
I never went past the Super Nintendo system to get the Nintendo 64 or later versions.
-
I just stayed with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).
-
Where'd George get to?
-
Eating a burrito?
-
Eating chili cheese fries?
-
Eating a churro?
-
Hawaiian spare ribs.
-
I don't have any ribs to spare, in case you were wondering.
-
Grits?
-
Biscuits and gravy?
-
He sure has flown the coop.
-
Shall I sing Climb Ev'ry Mountain?
-
Perhaps George is feasting on little meat balls.
-
Or fried filet of sole.
-
Or a turkey leg.
-
Pheasant.
-
Creme brûlée?
-
Perhaps he is reminiscing of his time in the Congo.
-
Wherever he is he ain't here.
-
Maybe he's listening to Tubby the Tuba.
-
Maybe he's having an egg salad sandwich on white bread.
-
Gee whiz.
-
Or should that be GEE whiz.
-
I wonder if Jrand will finish a book soon?
-
Hope so.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
