Random Food Thoughts

Hi, new here, so wasn't sure where to comment- this looked as good as anywhere... Born & raised in Albuquerque, NM and grew up on green chile. I didn't realize until I went to Washington state to help my parents how different NM cooking is different from Mexican food! More chile and less tomatillo and cilantro (which I hate!). And sopapillas are fried fluffy and served as a side bread, elsewhere it is usually fried flat and served as a dessert with cinnamon or strawberries. Tradition here is to bit off the corner and pour honey inside. After folks were gone, I returned and my taste buds again do a happy dance!

We used to have a restaurant in LA that featured this NM style food.

Mrs. Ojai and I went there a lot as a break from Mexican food. Alas, Sonora Cafe closed many years ago. :(

Man arrested for selling 'dried pinto beans' gets courtroom victory over ICE

"The government is detaining him indefinitely while keeping him in deferred action status in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and the Constitution."

"However, the narcotics involved in the suspected sale were later determined to be dried pinto beans," the court explains.

To that end, because the initially alleged crime literally amounted to a pile of beans, the court says the government does not really have any actual reason to suggest that Chavez's deferred action status "has been revoked or is expected to be revoked." And that means his deportation is far from happening – if it ever comes at all.
