 | Mais Arepas in Central City - lunch review - Rickety Cricket on 5/16/13 at 12:40 pm
In a nutshell: delicious.
I had heard about this place a bunch, but had never made the trip over for lunch. Decided to go today on a whim.
Started with the Empanadas, which were little cornmeal pies filled with shredded beef, sofrito and small potatoes. Side was a salsa verde-esque sauce.

I admit that I was a big time hater for years until I sat down and watched a few episodes. Now I watch like four a night on Hallmark.
The interactions between Frasier and Niles always get me, as do the usual "misunderstanding" gags like when the new station manager thought Frasier was gay. Don't...

Was thinking about this after reading an article linked on Drudge about people developing paranoia and fear in light of the bombings, shootings and ricin letters.
Personally, I do not. There's no way of knowing when or where such attacks could occur, especially since they are so rare.

Going again this weekend. I usually go with the outside skirt "Orestes' snack." I try to avoid the standard cuts there, or should I say somewhat standard as even the filet comes bone in.
Also can't wait for the provoleta, sausage plate and a bottle of Malbec :drool:...

To clarify: who will the Democrats blame after 8 years of Obama presidency if in 2016, ...
