Mexican Food, New England Style

So, we're staying in a resort in Vermont for the weekend, and tonight we were on our own for dinner. We ate at the only "Mexican" restaurant in town - nachos, chile relleno, and a taco. The food was good looking, and good to eat, unless you like your mexican food with some flavor. It was so bland that MJ would not have had any problems with it being too hot, and would have likely had to spice it up a bit.

On the way to Vermont, we stopped and ate at a combination antique store / lunch counter (that served mostly vegetarian food - the only meat was the tuna in the tuna sandwich - BLT's were made with soy bacon. We shared a tuna sandwich and bowl of chili (no meat in the chili - beans and corn). The chili was considerably spicier than dinner and it was mild.

no bueno :)

When I read your comment I was thinking "who the heck is the wizard" I got it now, but you saying you lived in Alaska sure tripped me up for a while. How is it that none of us knew about that :)

LOL, though if I were in New England, I'd be chowing down on some clam chowder and LOBSTAH!!! You can get mexican food any time you want here... lobster, on the other hand, is a treat. :)

Alaska was a month between my Junior & Senior years, so "living in AK" is a stretch, and it was before you were born.

We all know that if it was not spicy enough for the wizard, it was not spicy at all. :)

Exactly what I was thinking, Carolyn.

Sounds like I need to stay out of Vermont. :)

Lobster is a treat, sort of. Texture of meat, flavor of fruit. A lot of work to eat, and after about 30 minutes I start looking for the turf to go with the surf.
