It's been many years since I visited an authentic restaurant which happened to be in New Orleans. I love spicy food, but while I enjoyed the decor and customer service, the spiciness was out of this world hot!(lol) Sure hope you're doing well, and I'm sending some socially distanced hugs.

But I have Mexican friends and what she cooks is very nice. The meal on your plate in the photo does not look very inspiring. I don't know what the brown sauce is but it looks like vomit and I would certainly not want to eat that unless i was literally starving. Oh well, you win a few and you lose a few.<br />But those cabuchons are a winner. How beautiful they are. I have no idea what you do with them but they sure are stunning.

It so surprises me at how many people don't know what a cabochon is, especially in the tpe of art so many of you create. Yes they started out for jewelry but the are used in so much altered art. I can't wait to see what you do with yours Elizabeth. Now for the food. Ohhh there is nothing like getting a bad Mexican meal. This looks bad. There is only one decent place in my town and of course now we don't eat out. However, I do make very good traditional Mexican food taught by my FIL. He was from Mexico. Enjoy your day and thank you for sharing the gift.DVArtisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389131898875955178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-54739633762050459602020-10-13T10:27:09.912-05:002020-10-13T10:27:09.912-05:00What fun you'll have incorporating those caboc...What fun you'll have incorporating those cabochons into your art!

If our whole country had jumped on masks and distance and testing we'd be farther along in recovery. Love the review and pics in the archives here.

It was awful. Staff extra-arrogant, probably cause they saw me shake my head grinning a tad mean after we waited already like forever and another couple ordered their steak "very well cooked"!!! I jokingly said to Ingo, "with fries and ketchup, too?!".<br />In the end we left with empty stomachs and will never return.<br />But that pressie at least sure made your day!!Iris Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147576380055530230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-57609293412751322332020-10-12T21:40:24.425-05:002020-10-12T21:40:24.425-05:00Thank you for the Happy Thanksgiving shout Out.

I have to agree with you that the plates wee not super appealing either-sigh. we rarely go out to eat with our diet needs but since covid has hit restaurants are one place we would not do-too things could go wrong-in the kitchen for starters, the order takers, and those that bring out the food. <br /> Gorgeous gifts Elizabeth-enjoy them Happy T wishes Kathykathyinozarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644138355524729156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-1532815338725399562020-10-12T19:47:53.041-05:002020-10-12T19:47:53.041-05:00Really not a place to rave about, for sure.
