  In the interim, we do a lot of faux Mexican nights - the Doritos-branded salsa isn't half horrid!

No need for "faux" - get a decent Mexican cookbook. I promise homemade salsa is far better than Dorritos!!  :D

Oh, I know how to make salsa... I'm just somewhere between lazy and physically broken. :)  It was a weird family bonding thing to do once me and my siblings all moved out of the house - if we WERE at my parents, we'd make salsa together and gorge ourselves silly!

[radio edit]  If I do direct real energy towards Mexican food making, I do Tortilla Soup that is near-on to what you can get at El Fenix. ;)

Can you post a recipe? I had killer tortilla soup in a place in Vegas and have been craving it ever since. It's even better than the Wahaca one and I didn't think that possible.
And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
"Thank you for being a friend!"

The Taqueria Canonita at the Venetian. I wasn't bowled over by other stuff I had off the menu, although my husband loved the short ribs, but their Tarascan soup was oh so good! Actually, both their soups were, but Tarascan was a standout.

And you get to sit right next to the "canal." :D

You have extremely healthy obsessions!  :D

They seem to have pulled the Kashi Trail Mix bars off the market -- due to the peanut scare presumably.   :\\\'( Picked up some of their Raspberry Chocolate bars -- whoo! very more-ish [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

My DH makes killer tortilla soup, now I'm hungry.  Current obsession: Boost bars.
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.

I'm jonesin' for some salmon right now. My parents don't like it and they don't really go to restaurants where it's on the menu. I may have to wait until I'm back in Dublin!  :(
