FIESTA tiene un cachito de todo!

So a couple nights ago, the peeps (Monika, Robert, Robby Jr) and I went out to dinner and a tour of Fort Worth afterwards. Downtown is pretty incredible, btw. Earlier that day my sister mentioned that she wanted to make some enchiladas potosinas for dinner, so we made a stop at one of the local mexican grocery stores, called FIESTA. And just to make sure it was down right Mexican, outside it said, "salchichoneria, tortilleria, panaderia..." and whatever else you can add -ia to.

One of their signs had a typo that made me LMFAO!

Maxican...hahaha; Spelling FAIL.

Oh yeah and they sold a bunch of fresh herbs you normally find in a Mexicans backyard, such as maguey, aloe vera (savila), mint, kelite, and culantro??? idk that must've been another typo.

We went there to find little red corn tortillas and queso fresco to make the enchiladas. These arent your typical enchiladas,though. Theyre called enchiladas potosinas and the way you make them is by putting the queso inside the red tortilla, folding it like an enchilada but frying it a bit. Then you put sauted carrots, cabbage, and potatoes diced into little pieces on top, with a little bit of grated cheese.

They're supposed to look something like this.

Theyre mighty good. The first time I tried them was when I was 13 years old and my dad took us to Real de Catorce in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. We had them for a little stand on the street. They were super delicious. Since then that's been one of my favorite foods. I've tried to recreate them but its not the same. I actually had some last summer when I visited that same place in Mexico, and they were gooood. We're making some for dinner today. I hope theyre just as yummy!

I Sold My Soul To The Open Road

Dudeeeeeeeeee. I think I'm gonna love DFW. Monday morning, Rey, Fidel and I took off from the RGV to embark on a roadtrip to Dallas/Arlington. We made it to San Antonio in about 3 1/2 hrs, made a stop at Hooters in Selma, and then headed off again. Got into Dallas around 6:3opm due to the heavy traffic that started outside of San Antonio and didnt end til we were near the DFW area. Had reservations at the Hyatt Regency downtown, so I stayed there one night and hung around down town. Tuesday we spent the entire day at the Ballpark at Arlington and then headed to my destination in Fort Worth.

The new Cowboys Stadium is pretty legittt.

I think I'm gonna go to a few Ranger games this season, as well as some shows in Dallas, so this summer should be fun, guaranteed. It's so quiet around here and very peaceful during the day, which is just what I needed. I have no clue when I'll go back to Edinburg, but I don't really want to. We'll just have to see how well these next few months go. What's everyone else doing this summer?

Holdin' It Down For The Underground

It's kinda crazy that lately this is the only thing I've been listening to. It's a pretty epic album, but more than that, I really connect with everything it says. If these current moments of my life were put in a movie, there's no doubt that Homesick would be the soundtrack.

I've been having a lot of mixed feelings about leaving to Fort Worth. These types of decisions are normally easier for me because I usually don't spend too much time away from home. However this is different and I'm pretty much uprooting to a new place. I'm sad about leaving, but also glad to get away. It's been an emotional rollercoaster thus far.

I wish we could hang like we did back then but that's pretty impossible now. We're all grown up and life's pulled us apart. I miss you my friend.
