Irish Mexicans?


Regi missed mexican food so we decided to find the one and only mexican restuarant in Cork: Cafe Mexicana. I must say it was quite the experience. They had interesting Irish twists on mexican food. How would you like some of these fillings in your taco or enchilada:
Spicy chicken, spicy beef, picadillo (spicy beef, raisins & almonds), potato and spinach, potato and bacon, refried beans, garden vegetables.
How about a little mexican soup- Tomato And Tortilla Soup*
A tomato cream soup made with wheat tortillas, mildly spiced and served with corn chips or garlic bread. The food was great tasting but I would have liked more than a teaspoon of refried beans on top of my rice. Regi ordered the enchilada with garden vegetables. The vegetables were potatoes and cabbage. The burrito (which we did not order) was € 15.50. I guess it's nice to have a monopoly on Mexican food...


The farm chores today was to organize the glass house (the greenhouse). It was rainy outside and a bit cold. We got quite warm adding gravel to the floor so I took off my coat and Regi took her hat off. We placed them in a little crate for the time being. In no time Tittles, Beguira, and Dorcha had all curled up on the pile of clothes. It was so cute that we didn't have the heart to take it away from them.
