    • woo jin meets his match

      I did have a cafe when we lived in Rosarito, Baja California. We served both American and Mexican dishes.

      I added to the menu, milk shakes, ice cream floats made with the customer's choice of soda, including Strawberry Crush, Orange Crush, Root Beer, Pepsi or Coke, or any other soft drink available. We also served fresh french fries, and such things as fresh Mexican style vegetable soup with chicken broth, prepared fresh daily. I prepared Chili Rellenos, as well as my own handmade grand and delicious hamburgers, T-Boned Steaks, baked potatoes, Huevos Rancheros, pan cakes, bacon and eggs, or steak with eggs, as well as fresh hand made burritos, unlike anything you can usually buy in Mexico.

      My burritos contained low fat, ground beef, tomatoes, chopped onions, cilantro, and cheese if desired. Many things that I served were not available in any Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. Yet, they could also order the small soft corn tortilla tacos, prepared as they normally serve them north and south of the border, nowadays.

      My Cafe did not serve food on paper plates, but on real dishes, simple, and delicious.

      I'm getting hungry just writing about it, right now.

    Sorry, but I was also running a grocery store, and had to sleep sometime. Closed after dinner at 9 PM. If I were physically still fit, I would do the cafe or a restaurant even now. My friends all say I need to do that, but, well you know my neck and back are still a mess, and my hubby has passed away, too. I still enjoy watching people eat what I cook, but I don't do much cooking for others any longer.

    Oh, Helen. You sound so much like my husband. "I enjoy watching people eat what I cook." Someday I would like to come to your kitchen and you could show me step by step how to cook fresh handmade burritos.

    Hi Lynn, Burritos are so easy to make. It's one of those things you can fill them with leftovers, or as I normally do, is use either ground, or shredded or chopped beef, grilled chicken, or pretty much any type meat you like. Add add refried, or whole beans, such as pintos, or pink beans, add some diced tomatoes and onions, add cilantro if you like, and use whatever kind of hot sauce or none, depending on your individual taste. Fold over the part that will serve as the bottom, and fold over the two sides, so that it looks like the photo above. Different strokes for different folks.
