Kena> The enfrijoladas you know are probably a bit different than the ones I
know. But the ones I know are more of a regional dish, so it's probable that
they're known by a different name, or not at all.

Example: "Enchiladas de mole" are called "Enmoladas" in some places.
"Quesadillas" without cheese (which makes the "quesadilla" name sound weird)
are served in Mexico City and surrounding areas.

There are others, but I can't remember 'em.

Errr... "Woodman's"?  Is this a place I need to take a side-trip to?

As for enfrijoladas with refried beans, that just don't sound right.  And the
reason I'm surprised that they have them in Mexico is because I've asked for
them -- in Spanish -- at two different "real" Mexican restaurants, and, while
my accent is 100% gringo, I'm sure it's intelligible, and I just received blank
looks.  Maybe it was them trying to parse that the word "enfrijolada" had just
come out of my mouth, but I'd taken it to mean they had no idea what I was
talking about.

dipped in smooshed black beans, some cheese and sour cream added.  Look fugly

Charro days tomorrow, so and dance days are an annual tradition for every
class.  Thankfully my 5th grader can still wear his red and white embroidered
white shirt with the eagle logo he wore 2 years ago.  Sadly, I'm willing to bet
half his male classmates can't.

Alas, "working" and "boobies" don't go hand-in-hand [sic].  That being said, if
you're referring to that truly terrible movie from... '83(?), with Henry
Winkler, well, yes, then you *do* get boobies.

Heh.  At 2:00, it *was* midnight.  Or, rather, two hours past.  And, yes, I was
just starting my work day.  That's the joy of maintenance windows -- 3:00 to
6:00 in the morning, but I wake up a little early to get my ducks in a row, and
wake up, myself.  Normally, after the night shift, they don't bitch too much if
you don't show up in the office, but I had some questions to ask, so I came in
anyway.  Heading home soon...

I don't have many problems with Yahoo's mail system. I get a lot of spam
because people around the world use my e-mail address to set up accounts.
I have an occassional spam message get through but most go directly to the spam
bucket. I don't know of any other e-mail system to use other than my home
ISP provider. I can set up 8 on there but Yahoo's system is so much better
looking.
I only chek the spam bucket every now and then just in case an actual e-mail
got sent there instead.
