Montserrat Garcia-Closas is a really prolific genetic epidemiologist, btw. I am constantly in awe of all the things she manages to publish in any given month. :::link:::

timing is everything
& I'm blowing the joke. I'm probably only 1/4 done but by now either you get it or you don't. And no, it's not particularly funny when someone shits themselves to death.

Spending the long weekend in Canada ... not that i don't like roller derby & beer, but I could really use a couple of days to myself. Next week is going to be insayayayne - (e:dragonlady) will be going to Illinois next Saturday to buy a car from her sister, then I'm going to Baltimore all week for a conference, then we're meeting back up in Queens for a Friday wedding, then to Troy for a wedding shower on Saturday, and back to BUF by Monday for another week of the rat race. Woof.

I'm trying out the twitters for anyone who's interested

I went there recently with Lana and was seriously unimpressed. The service was good, as (e:uncutsaniflush) mentions, but the food was ew. I got poblano peppers stuffed with cheese, red sauce, beans & rice and it was all just ew. Bland and cardboardy with just the wrong flavor. There's a tex-mex place in Horseheads, NY, that I've been to several times - about the same grade of place but the same food was much better, with deeper and more attractive flavors. Lana liked her food more than I liked mine. She thought the lime margarita wasn't very good - I had a sip and the tequila was super strong - like (e:uncut) says it was slushy bad limeade.

I agree with (e:uncutsaniflush) I liked the carnitas. The margaritas tasted like paint to me.

(e:leetee) and I have eaten at el palenque lots of times since it opened. I'm not inmpressed by the margaritas. I'm old school enough to think that tequila and bad limeade and slush don't equal a good margarita.

The food is decent Tex-Mex. In Knoxville, TN, it wouldn't even come close to being the best Tex-Mex restaurant. My theory is that Tex-Mex gets better the closer it gets to the border.

The service is usually good. Victor and his crew are hard workers.

were they good, was the food good, the service?
