On the beer front, bought a nice coffee lager from a local place. I don't drink much at the house and miss trips to that brewery's patio.

I've been trying to deal with a foot issue for a while now, and today, as I've been trying some stretches I read about, it has decided to flare up. Might have to go to a damn doctor about it (when the shutdown ends), who will tell me I need to not run for months. Bleh.
If you want to avoid foot, ankle, knee, and other general leg ailments, then you shouldn't run at all.

I say that as a runner, and I'm not going to stop, but my PT wife is pretty much constantly treating me.

Oh I've tried them all.  It's a common recipe down here.  Perhaps you don't realize this, but we do a lot of margaritas and other tequila-based drinks, being right next to Mexico and all.  :)

I simply don't like the flavor of brandy-based orange liqueurs in a margarita, it's too much and it is NOT balanced in my opinion.
We are not next to Mexico, but we have a lot of Mexicans per capita, and we have Rick Bayless. I wish I could take him with me to Florida so he could open some places. Lots of oranges there.

I like Grand Marnier too.


For the Mezcal variety, there is no orange flavor. It's made with Wahaka and Torres 10, and the limeaide. I like the smokiness of the Mezcal.

I mean, it's just very nagging plantar fasciitis, I think. 

I've been trying the toe stretches, which I think helps, but sometimes ends with slight shooting pain that makes me more worried than the dull pain. Honestly, I'm not at all keen on stopping, so that's what it is.

(Since she's a PT, is there any long-term damage from plantar fasciitis? Like am I getting closer to a massive rupture, or is it just gonna be mildly annoying until I take a mess of time off?)

Yeah yeah, I know you worship Rick Bayless. :)

Nobody down here really even knows who he is. We don't need to.  We live the culture every day.

Also, I don't have a problem with orange-flavored liqueurs in a margarita, it belongs, it's part of the cocktail.  I just don't like the ones that are based on brandy, in my margarita.

I'll ask her when I get a chance and let you know.  In general, I know one thing you need to worry about is the injuries you could create by compensating for the pain from the plantar fasciitis.  Walking or running funny, to get around the pain, can put pressures and stresses on other joints and tissues.

That's exactly what hapepend to me last year.  Had a glute/sciatica scare which turned out to be a hip issue, caused by the plantar faciitus.  It was awful, but fixed with simple stretches and lost some weight.

I gained it back the last 5 weeks, though, so that's fun.

Welp.. I really don't know what to say to that, but I'll try. Bayless is not Texas at all. His style is... Fine dining meets Oaxaca, if you will.

If you were to eat at Topolabampo, you'd think you were at a French restaurant, right down to décor and vibe and plating and wine pairing, until you put the food to tongue. It's very different, and spectacularly refined.

I didn't think Texans ate Mexican food. I thought you had your own Tex-Mex hybrid that largely dominated there...

Tex-Mex spread throughout much of the US, and I know that Mexican food when I got to California didn't really resemble Tex-Mex at all.

Here neither. We have quite a few Mexican places here in town that are pretty darn authentic.

You were initially talking about margaritas.  And recommended a Bayless recipe.  Which is fine and all, but since at least two origin stories place margaritas as being invented right here in Texico, and they're very much a part of our culture down here, I can assure you I know what I'm talking about.

As for Oaxaca, yeah, we're familiar with it.  There are plenty of interior Mexican places around here.  'Cause, you know... Texas-Mexico border and all.  It's not something new or unique or crazy to us here, it's integrated into the culture here.  

Texas borders Mexico, I'm just gonna point that out once more, 'cause it seems you really don't seem to get it.  Texas was actually a PART of Mexico until 1836, boggles the mind I know.

But I still love you brother!

Tex-Mex is huge here.  But every single strip center in town has a tiny Mexican place that starts with "El" or "La" and most are based on interior Mexican food.  They often serve Tex-Mex, too, to broaden their appeal.

Texas shares a really, REALLY long border with Mexico.  We have a lot of Mexican immigrants living here.  Heck, we have a lot of Mexican nationals living here.  I guess that's something I need to point out, but it doesn't seem like I should?

Cindy has Mexican cousins on her fathers side by marriage.Evidently they opened one of the 1st Mexican restaurants In Cleveland back in the early 50's.We've been guests of theirs a few times and the cuisine was nothing like Tex-Mex.Perhaps a bit more spartan with condiments but still zesty and delicious.I seem to remember they used more lime and Quac
