The Three Hundred and Sixty Fourth...





Number Three Hundred and Sixty Four:





El Nopal, Lunch, Carnitas






So Justin and I hit the best Mexican place in the east end, maybe one of the best in the city, El Nopal, and who do we see but Beth Brown and her boy! We sit with them and have some fun conversation while her son does some wacky things like a napstache (well, ISH) and taunts a french fry or two up the nostril. Good times! It was a pleasant surprise, especially for the next to last Napkin Moustache! I suppose I should start getting reflective over this, but I might just wait until after it is all said and done, to continue to post on the blog about it, then we'll see where it can go from there.


Other cool news:

Apparently, Dogfish Head did another limited run of their Miles Davis inspired Bitches Brew beer! I totally went to River City Cellars and bought two bottles! I never got to taste any last year, and only had one bottle in storage. Now I will be able to sample and save another. Sweet!

ONE MORE!!!

The Two Hundred and Second...

Number Two Hundred and Two:






El Nopal, Lunch, Fajitas






Busy day sneezing like an insane person, then knocking any sense I have out by taking an antihistamine. Ruins me for the day. If anyone has a better med that doesn't involve antihistamine and works for allergies, let me know!!!

The One Hundred and Twenty Fifth...

Number One Hundred and Twenty Five:

El Nopal, Lunch, Nachos

So Emily happened to be in the east end neighborhood and Gina and Justin like to to dig on some El Nopal, so we hit it. Group 'stache was frequently mentioned but Justin was dubious. We still managed to talk him into his second group 'stache by the way for this blog, Gina has like 3 or 4, I think, even if unpublished here, and well, this was Emily's first. A good group 'stache! Interesting thing about this place today; for lunch they had a drink special called the Margareta Hulk; 64 ounces of green margaretaville for 19.95! What a bargain! IF you didn't have any plans for the next few hours, it was the perfect getaway. Unless Hulk got mad and tore shit up, then you would probably wind up in the drink tank at county. Just sayin...
The picture on the wall was a great desert scene, but we all thought it was missing a monster of some sort; a chupacabra, a UFO, or both, or...HULK!!!

The One Hundred and Fourth...

Number One Hundred and Four:






El Nopal, Lunch, Taquitos






Lunch with Justin usually equals here or Mexico when we're both in the office. That is fine by us. El Nopal is a decent enough east end restaurant. A small place with nice service, and the food is just a little bit different than your average Mexican restaurants. Their decor is also different than the standard mural format; a real hat motif rolling in this joint. Plus they used to sell the Coca-Cola with sugar instead of corn syrup as sweetener. Heck yeah!
