where is the vegatarian section?
Hey can you direct me to vegi recipes: this fish and meat stuff is not my style:
Tip: when making tacos sprinkle pamesan cheese on both sides of torts after they have been fried and fill them with your favorite fillings, great!
We all want a peaceful world, filled with love and laughter, but we fill ourselves with anger and hate trying to fiqure out how to achive it.

WQhat a conundrum. That's kinda like being a vegit in Nebraska! Do you have you a dislike for ALL seafood.
Actually, Baja type food can be made in a meatless/seafoodless fashion but I am afraid you'll miss out on what makes it sooooo good. Also, as you
know, (true)vegetarians work very hard to achieve a balanced nutritious diet. A difficult task when creating meals with complete proteins.
Be healthy, don't fry.
Methinks you should give US vegetarian influenced Mexican food.
Dave, that was cruel.

When people tell me they're vegetarian I always ask, why?
The degree of cruelty is dependent on their answer.
Oh, and we don't carry any low-fat products at the deli, either. Whole milk, real cream, pure butter, etc. If they want a no fat latte, egg whites, or
even decaf coffee we tell 'em to jog down the street to the other deli.

Love that "real" Milk (hate that 2% icky stuff!).....Thanks Dave! (GIVE ME THAT FAT, AND LARD IN MY TORTILLIAS!)
I'm not a "vegan" The lady asked a question and I gave her a site to look at. I found it (and once was an active member) at their home school
site....I'll leave the rest alone as to why I'm not any longer.....
Each to their own.....

Lard is lower in saturated fat than butter.

Well now, I have to admit theres many foods I have missed in the last 15 years and find myself dreamin about those lobsters you all talk about and
yes it's a triffle hard to find foods that I can eat in some towns. Some times I give into eating eggs for beakfast with home fries spiced with diced
chile and cilantro and onions. Do eat cheese, milk, and some other dairy foods but have to be carefull how they jel it. Mostly have to make my own
food. Wow this is making me hungry! Off to the kitchen! Thanks all! Would be down for the fest but have something important to tend to that week-end.
Another time!

Belive me, I have enough lard and I never leave it behind  or it is behind  well anyway you can always tell if one eats to much meat: They have a short
temper among other things. They like to pick on people an have to have things their way, they fart alot and have bad dreams, and they drink alot of
beer and smell like an unclean old bar! That only happens to men though as women
can do these things and never daken their pure spirit.  So roll that up and
smoke it you Baja weenies!

FARTS?
You bet. But we LIKE TO FART, it's a manly thing. Seriously speaking, you probably have some valid points there but I won't venture. I eat meat once
or twice a week. About the same amount of days I beat up my family because they say I smell like a cow. Hmmmm, maybe there is a connection.

Yep, it's true. According to Mexican chef Rick Bayless, lard has less then half the cholesterol and about 1/3 the saturated fat than butter. When
buying pork lard, he suggests you look for fresh-rendered lard from a Mexican or other ethnic butcher, rather than the hydrogenated pale blond bricks
they sell in most groceries.
He gives a recipe for making it yourself, which I will post under recipes..... whoops! I am in the recipes section, so here goes:
Makes 1-3/4 cups
2 lbs pork fat (scraps trimmed off roasts and chops are good here, but don't use salt pork or fatty backon - those flavors are very strong)
Cut the pork fat into 1" cubes. Spread it out in a deep baking dish and set it in an oven at 275 degrees.
Stir it every once in a while as the ft renders into a clear liquid.
When the baking dish contains only clear liquid and browned bits, after about 2 hours, carefully remove the dish from the oven. (Letting the
cracklings, as the browned bits are called, color richly which give the lard a fuller, roastier flavor.)
Let the lard cool to lukewarm, then strain. (The little browned bits are wonderful sprinkled over a salad.) Store the lard in a tightly sealed jar
in the refrigerator - or freezer, if you're not going to use it all in a month.
