Forecasts are calling for off and on heavy rains around here for at least the next 48 hours. Oh joy! Now, we're not even getting thunder and lightning. Grays skies and drizzle. "Auntie Em, are we back in the Northwest?", he said, with a damp quiver of his lip.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />DaveDave Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038109966699072504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-48252275229287241572011-10-14T11:18:28.902-06:002011-10-14T11:18:28.902-06:00Yes sir.. we loved our visit to the Purple Toucan....Yes sir.. we loved our visit to the Purple Toucan. I cannot for the life of me remember what we had but I do remember that we came back a second time!! (She was very nice when I asked her if she could leave out the cilantro. I just can't handle that taste - bad, I know, but you can't help what you do or don't like, can you? She shook her head a time or two as she was working up in the kitchen... lol.<br /><br />On the scale thing... I've trying to move ours to where something like a big hammer could <b> accidentally</b> fall on it from a great height. Wish me luck.<br /><br />From the sunny (today) south,<br /><br />JulianJRinSChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221452682380379316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-44518460911465219182011-10-14T07:45:15.674-06:002011-10-14T07:45:15.674-06:00Hi Julian,

Aren't Jose and Yolanda (Purple Toucan's owners) the nicest folks?<br /><br />They have the coldest beer in town and Jose's beef fajitas just can't be beat.<br /><br />Our electronic scale broke shortly after moving here... probably just as well.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />DaveDave Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038109966699072504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-16314431536796462422011-10-14T07:12:30.645-06:002011-10-14T07:12:30.645-06:00Venky's sounds like the Purple Toucan.

Just curious I guess....<br /><br />Had Mexican (American style) last night and it was good, but didn't help my weight loss campaign at all.. LOL.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />JulianJRinSChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221452682380379316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-57674535688384248792011-10-14T04:23:19.131-06:002011-10-14T04:23:19.131-06:00Hi Julian,
You've got to be able to stop and ...Hi Julian,<br /><br />You've got to be able to stop and smell the roses, from time to time.<br /><br />Here's another. A week or so ago, we went with Bruce and Colleen to Venky's Restaurant. Luckily, they weren't crowded when we got there. That's important as they only have 2 tables and 4 chairs, oh, and 1 menu.<br /><br />But, and it's a big one, Venky's is Corozal's only Indian restaurant. The food was to die for.<br /><br />One menu or not, you can't let what's printed on the menu intimidate you. We asked about and ordered several things that were not on the menu and Mr. Venky could produce everything asked for.<br /><br />The food was very good. Perhaps the difference is in the spices in Indian food. The hotness is subtle, not so 'in your face' the way Mexican food can be.<br /><br />The Belikin was cold, even though Mrs. Venky had to hop on her bicycle to fetch 4 beers for us. In fact, she did that twice. Full service!<br /><br />All we knew was that we ate until we were ready to pop. It was a wonderful evening.<br /><br />Venky's - definitely a place to keep in mind. Just don't get too wrapped up in the decor... There isn't any. But the food, Ummmm good!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />DaveDave Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038109966699072504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-17806508486122373492011-10-13T10:43:26.448-06:002011-10-13T10:43:26.448-06:00Well, Dave, you got me again.

I will endeavor to log this into my great collection of stuff (known as my brain) so we can try them the next time we come down.<br /><br />Main problem for me is that we took the bypass when I drove and Vitalino Reyes took us to the square on the way to the zoo and tube caving.<br /><br />JulianJRinSChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221452682380379316noreply@blogger.com
