Re: Rain!

Jim, I don't know anything about restaurants where you are, but I spent thee years in Miami, and the best food there was always in the ethnic restaurants. Cuban dishes, like pork cubes sauteed with heaps of garlic, yuca done the same way, grilled marinated dolphin (fish, not mammal) were all memorable. There are so many Hispanics of various origins in south FL, that you can eat different types of food every day; Cuban, Nicaraguan, Guatemalan and lots more. I doubt that the vat in Alabama generates the Media Noche sandwiches, the Moros Y Cristianos, black beans and rice, or the garlic-y fried majua, tiny fish cooked and eaten whole. Mariscada verde, mixed seafood in green sauce, was to die for. When I think of some of the food I ate there, I could cry.

Yeah; paid my dues. I sympathize, Jesse, but I don't miss that weather... ever. Only thing I miss about the north--and here I mean the northeast--is the restaurants. I've become convinced at all southern restaurant food is steam-processed in one large vat, probably in Alabama somewhere, and piped throughout the region in the natural gas pipelines during off peak hours.

to snow. Rain, yes. Snow, no. You should have seen all the wrecks on the
way to work...like these people don't know how to drive in snow...idiots
I tell ya. I'm driving a 4 wheel drive SUV and these people in little
cars are zipping past me, and then I see them up the road in a fender
bender or wreck. WELL...can you say SNOW=SLICK ROADS? Duh.

It's raining--huzzah! And this morning, I got some fertilizer down on
some of the fruit trees. Maybe--I hope--the rainy season is starting
[naw, too much to hope for]. But I'm sure glad to see it. The mangos
and lychees, especially, need frequent waterings now that they've set
fruit.
