When it is cold outside and a little bit rainy, and you have shifted your focus from Christmas dishes to Star Wars’ Clone Wars figures, all things Thomas the Train, and what a 16 year old nephew might like for Christmas…
because last year , shopping for said nephew, you made the mistake of entering a darkened Abercrombie&Fitch , where the music was pulsing loudly and the clothes looked torn, and a former student who worked there looked shocked to see you in his world, because middle-aged English teachers staring slack-jawed may not convey the image the store promotes…
At that moment you need/I need an iced cold Diet Coke and a steaming hot, fresh tamale that you can buy at Delia’s or Tamales y Mas, or De Alba’s Bakery, where everyone acts like it is a pleasure to see a middle-aged English teacher.
Add salsita and enjoy.
Today I am linking to Foodie Friday at Designs by Gollum.
Haha... been there, done that. How uncomfortable!! Hope you don't have to go back to that store any time soon.

Tamales and the holidays...just no tripe.
ReplyDeleteWe used to get the best tamales in Pensacola. I love them with Diet Coke, too, :-)
ReplyDeleteI know EXACTLY what you mean! Who can think in those stores with all that loud music and a $100 pair of jeans with holes in them, HUH? Oh well, I am with you... those gifts get bought on-line these days:) Have a blessed day!
ReplyDeletespicin' things up for Christmas eh?
ReplyDeletethose are hard to make I think!!
Oh, my heart be still. I have not had a great tamale in years! Oh, and for breakfast with a fried egg. All that yummy masa and spicy meat.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been in a mall in a year or so.
ReplyDeleteYou are funny. I really enjoy your thoughts.
Laura, thank you for your sweet comment. I am hungry now and ready for my diet RC.

That 'Abercrombie and Fitch' as fab as it is is ever so noisy...Have a happy weekend, xv.
ReplyDeleteNow you know what I'm going to be searching out for lunch today. As to A & F, I'm sure the kids who work in their stores will be deaf before they reach university. A & F has created the 8th circle of h ell.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I think we are having Mexican for dinner...
ReplyDeleteI will eat them, but have never been a real fan. Sure would like some other Mexican food right now - Lunch time!
ReplyDeleteI just got home from Christmas shopping and guess what I had for a snack.....hot, hot salsa. Yummy! Mexican can't be beat!
ReplyDeleteLOL! The last time I was in A&F, there were younguns running around in underwear and nobody to take the $100 I was willing to pay for the shirt that was worth $20.I haven't been back. The tamales are a much better idea.
ReplyDeleteYour food photos are really TOO good. I SO want a tamale right now!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Marcia
This post was so funny and so true. I loved the way you expressed yourself here. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI like the birds in your trees too. I have a big bird theme going on this year and even sent my DH outside yesterday in the cold snowy rainy weather to collect the abandoned bird nests out of the birdhouses.
