Just back from a quickie trip to D.C. Close brush with "Gordon"...lots
of rain in the Carolinas, Georgia and northern Florida.
Despite the short length of the visit, we did manage to hit a few "hot
spots:"
Mi Rancho....very nice little Mexican restaurant in downtown Silver
Spring, MD. We ate outdoors. It was very pleasant....and the food was
well-prepared! The salsa was fresh and quite hot!
Bombay Gaylord (Indian).....Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring. We had the
luncheon buffet. Very good and a good value. Two of us ate for under
$20.
Irene's Pupusas (Salvadorean)...University Blvd., Wheaton....my first
experience with pupusas, Salvadorean "turnovers." Rita had chicken, I
had "mixto" (everything!). We were sitting where we could watch "Irene"
in the kitchen, mixing the dough, by the old-world method, kneading it
by hand, adding cans of water until it reached the right consistency. On
the counter were "no-name" red hot sauce and green "jalapeno" sauce. I
opted for my favorite: XXX-tra hot Mayan Style El Yucateco. Tab: pupusas
and sodas...under $5!! Afterward we went around the corner to a small
Salvadorean grocery store, where I found an El Yucateco sauce I had not
seen before. "Caribbean Style....Habanero Hot Sauce." (You'd better
hurry, Randy, if you want to taste this one!).
Regards from the beach,
Myron
