Menudo again!

No special occasion. Nope. Not hung over either Briz. My old Spanish neighbor Roberto made a big ol' pot, froze a bunch...and saw me goin' ta my car and asked, "Hey...you wanna menudo?" Hell yeah I said... He says bring me a bowl and I fix for you!

I'm gonna make a green salad, and take some bread ta work tanight!

The ol' guy is probably 85, and healthy as a billy-goat! He was living in Mexico back in the '50s, got married and worked the copper mines, running heavy equipment. Married a Mexican woman, had two kids... Brought 'em here. I met 'em. His wife died...but he musta been the cook in the outfit!

He's got relatives in Spain, Mexico, and Portugal. And stories... Lotsa stories.

He 'gets' my work. He understands diesel engines, power, and big machines. And always asks me if 'you work today?' He watches the yard behind us... he's impressed with the 737s that go by rail from Everett ta Renton for final assembly. Me tu!

I like his food!

Dont forget your cilantro, dried Mexican oregano, and red pepper flakes....If your're feeling a little crazy, finely chop a few green onions and squeeze a little bit of lime in the soup.....

Yeah buddy! Everything but the lime...and Roberto said that tu!

He said squeeze a 'peench' of lime into the menudo! Eet makes aspecial for you!

Used ta be an old Greek who lived nearby, but his grandkids moved him when he got hurt in a fall. This Roberto lives at ground level in a tiny studio apartment...

Try some sheep yogurt with honey and chopped filberts. It's good!

Uke, next time you see him, tell him, "Gracias por Menudo tu pinche puto!"

Thats Spanish for, "Thanks for the menudo kind sir!"

Last time I used 'puto' in a sentence...a gang of Mexican kids chased me down the beach calling me names and throwin' stones at me!

I outran 'em, but figured eventually they'd find my campsite...and raise holy hell with us... They didn't bother me again.

I'm not certain, but puto is akin to 'jerk off' or queer, ain't it Briz?

I've thanked Roberto already. No need ta show my stoopid side by tryin' ta use Spangilsh on a native speaker of proper Spanish. Besides that...he's an okay old guy.
