A la Carte
Jan. 12th, 2014 05:09 pmI feel better today, though not yet well.
Today I learned once again that at Lupe Tortilla, it is not clear enough to say "I just want two crispy tacos," at least not right after another person orders the make-your-own plate with four puffy tacos. It gets interpreted as "I also want the make-your-own plate but with just two crispy tacos." I have to say "I want just two crispy tacos a la carte."
News Article of the Day - Jim Hightower's A whiff of cheese on Wisconsin streets - "So, naturally, Wisconsin would be the state to come up with the idea of spraying its city streets with cheese brine. This is not some sort of cheesy tourist promotion, but an actual attempt to have two problems blend into one clever solution."
It really sounds awesome. Don't know how it smells, though. (You can experience this article in two different ways. Reading it quicker, but if you'd like to hear a strong Texan accent, you can listen instead. Make sure to open the mp3 in another window if you want to do both at the same time.)
