Dear God I Love Texas.

This may strike Texans as the lamest thing I could be feeling this much joy about but we had dinner at Pappasito's tonight and I think I would like to bathe in Pappasito's Salsa for the rest of my vacation. I would like to spend the next 4 days soaking in salsa. I would like to take a tub of the stuff home and fill my bathtub up with it and soak in it for a few days once I get back to my own house.

Okay, not just soaking in salsa, I'd also like to have a big fat Pappasito's margarita in my hand while I soak in the salsa.

Eating the salsa reminded me of my first trip to Texas. A trip which involved a visit with my now loathsome sister in law but which also involved lots and lots of Pappasito's salsa. Tonight, even though Pants isn't with me on this trip, the minute I started eating those chips and drinking those magarita's I remembered that trip.

The trip where we woke up at 9 am, had sex, slept until noon then headed out for chips and salsa and margarita's. Then we'd head back to bed for a little more sex and a big fat nap and then we'd get up and repeat the whole process. For 7 whole days.

sigh......

My current trip involves a lot less sleep and a lot less sex but the salsa and margarita's I ate tonight took me right back to that amazing vacation with my favorite person whom I also have sex with. I almost forgot about the fact that I've been sleeping in the same bed as my restless children for the last 5 nights and I'll be sleeping with them for the next 4 nights.

I can't believe we even have restaurants in Michigan that claim to be 'Tex-Mex'. I don't know how I'll ever go there and keep a straight face as I order their version of "Tex-Mex".

It seems a little ridiculous doesn't it?

I'm so jealous!I love Mexican food and the hotter the better!I went on a trip in high school to rural Mexico with my dad...and I have never tasted Mex food that good again!lolEnjoy the 'Rita's!!!

Just a tip - when you go to Chuy's make sure to request creamy jalapeno dip along with your salsa, you'll love it!

Isn't Chuy's the best? I swear it's the atmosphere that makes the food taste so good.

It takes mention of my favorite restaurant to pull me out of the woodwork to make my first comment. :)

they have the best fajitas! especially if you get the butter sauce on them! eat a bunch for me! i feel sorry that you didn't really know what tex mex is like. Papasitos is a good place to learn. I do have to say, however, that Chuys is overhiped and smells like BO.

hope you're having fun

It's a fact that tequila is the link to our past.

Speaking of texas and papasitos, I am from texas but since I am in the marines, I am in SC and have no papasitos here. I am dying to learn how to make something close to papasitos salsa and I was wondering if anyone has stumbled across a recipe for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Mike.
