Plus they have all these huge tanks full of fish for eating which is sort of like being at the aquarium in a squeamish sort of way...<BR/><BR/>Plus at the Hong Kong Super Market there is a little food court where you can get a huge steaming bowl of pho with all kinds of unmentionable animal parts mixed in with your noodles and of course they have jalapenos cilantro and lime to squueze in there along with fresh basil...yeah almost like Mexico...then after that big bowl of noodle soup you have French Roast Coffee with Sweetened Condensed Milk...<BR/><BR/>I don't know how to say "Elsie" in Spanish or Vietnamese and I have no idea where to get a bowl of pho in all of Quintana Roo, I will stick with sopa de lima at La Lomita and chilpachole at La Bruja and I will remain anonymous and a little shy and probably Scott, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-74533236563674966842008-09-10T22:10:00.000-05:002008-09-10T22:10:00.000-05:00You are a good at this guessing game of who wrote ...You are a good at this guessing game of who wrote which notes. #1 was Bennie.Benniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097317908338598428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-12319044470865830822008-09-10T12:17:00.000-05:002008-09-10T12:17:00.000-05:00Ok, I'm going to guess that the first "anonymous" ...Ok, I'm going to guess that the first "anonymous" is Bennie, and the second is Scott? (familiar writing styles). In any case, thanks for your comments and the tip for La Lechera - I will have to look for that sometime. Of course it would just be better if we don't have any hurricanes, then I wouldn't have to worry!<BR/><BR/>Zina - I don't think we got the powdered milk; neither did we get the cookies on our dispensa. I could use some powdered milk in the house, I have bread machine recipes that call for it. I hate it in my coffe, but hey - if that's all I have, then I'll just have to make do, right? And great news on the FM2 - I hope it works out for you!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391875870787818644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-35533099503099684042008-09-09T23:19:00.000-05:002008-09-09T23:19:00.000-05:00What?

BTW, I went to Mauricio today and since I have left Isla so little in five years, he thinks he can retroactivate the FM2.

Here in Tejas I get it at the Fiesta super mercado in tiny little cans, they sell it in a six pack!<BR/>One tiny can is perfect for my oversized latte mug.<BR/>I have seen the tiny cans of "La Lechera" at the Super Mercado on the island, maybe the Super Ronco has them too. <BR/>Try it sometime!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-87880396104217044182008-09-09T18:49:00.000-05:002008-09-09T18:49:00.000-05:00You know 6AM must be a magic number.
