Chexican food and podebrady

Well, been awhile. I do apologize, but I sure have been busy. Today I had me some Chexican food. I’m teaching a course in a town called “Under the Ford” I reckon way back when there must have been a filling station here. I guess when “Uncle Joe” was running things it was “Podelada.” But now the commie scum has been driven out of the country, so they changed the name back to Podebrady.

This town is what they call a spa town, like French Lick back home. The waters is supposed to cure what ails you, so they claim. I ain’t tried any yet, but the beer seems to be safe enough, although a bit too heavy. There’s this one beer called “Holegarden” and it’s darned near as good as Pabst, but with less taste. Then there’s this “Stella Arthritis” beer. I guess it’s made from the spa water, but it is pretty tasteless too. I guess if it cures arthritis, it ain’t all bad. But, that’s the only redeeming feature I see in it.

Well, it’s been hotter than a Habanero dipped in Dumbass ™ sauce! Durned fools still haven’t figured out how to put a screen in the windows! The first night I was here (I ain’t pulling your leg neither) I opened my window after dark and within 10 minutes there was over a thousand flies, gnats, no-see-um’s and skeeters in my room!

And if that ain’t bad enough, they believe air conditioning is evil. They claim it’s the work of the western capitals. The doctors even come on tv warning people they’ll die if they go into an air conditioned room and it’s too cold. (But then the same docs say in winter it’s healthy to exercise in sub-zero temperatures. They don’t even see the irony in this.)

No about them western capitals. I ain’t no fan of California or los angelous either, but A/C ain’t to be blamed on them. We had a window unit in the trailer and I ain’t never been no further west than the Mississippi. And no Peaches ever died from it neither.

Back to my point, There’s a “Mexican” restaurant across the street, just upstairs from the undertaker. I’ll put up a picture when I get home. I went and tried it, and well I was a bit disappointed. They didn’t have no Margaritas, nor nachos, not even Tacos! It was a far cry from Taco Bell ™ !

The service wasn’t much neither. They was so darned lazy they made you roll your own FayJeetas! If I had a wanted them in different parts, I’d have said so! Dangit! I want my food ready to eat! And the three sauces weren’t nothing much. I guess I accidently got the children’s version. The only time I broke a sweat was when I saw the bill!

You know what just took the cake? No yellow cheese! No cheddar, American, or even velveeta ™! They only have white cheese and goat cheese there! Tarnation they should make these folks spend a month at Taco Bell ™ so they learn what real Mexican food is supposed to taste like! It should be required before opening a foreign restaurant in a foreign country what in the heck you’re trying to cook!
