Hi Dave,

 DD> favourite "day-shift" cafes (06:00 'til 14:00) had taken a struggling
 DD> location across town an made it very successful. Then they closed it
 DD> and sold to another operator. When I asked Kurt about it he replied
 DD> "Vickie and I are getting "up there" and we're slowing down a bit."

 RH> Understandable. Steve goes to breakfast a couple of days a week (one
 RH> with guys from chruch, other day with Legion members) at one of those
 RH> places. They open up at 0400, close at 11. The family has been in WF
 RH> for about 30 years so I wouldn't be surprised to hear some day in the
 RH> not too distant future that they're calling it quits.

 DD> I'm a bit surprised they don't do lunches whilst having breakfast all
 DD> the time.

They used to, but I think the events of 4 years ago made them cut back
their hours, then realised they liked the shorter time frame. They do
stay open longer on the Monday before Thanksgiving; they do a free meal
(turkey and the works) for vets and senior citizens.


 DD> My former manager at AZ is of Mexican descent. He has turned me on to
 DD> many specialities which I'd never have thought to try. And he's always
 DD> "on he money" when rating a new place.

 RH> Good person to know. (G) So many Mexican places give you a limited
 RH> choice (burrito, taco, chimichanga, etc) with rice and beans on the
 RH> side. I like a place that has more variety--and hortchata on the drinks
 RH> side.

 DD> Never had that - but I do have a recipe so you can mae it at home.

I swiped it when you first posted it, back when we were in AZ. (G)

 DD> ice cream offered for dessert. I quite liked that.

 RH> What about mango lassies for drinks?

 DD> Never tried it. These days my most comon drink is water w/lemon. Or
 DD> just water and ice cubes.  Bv)=

 RH> It's good, sort of like a thinned down mango yogurt.
