A Vietnamese play on birria tacos...these are "pho" style.   (had to edit...spellcheck got the better of me)

Really could have used a hot sauce like sriracha on the side for some kick, but I did like the dish conceptually.  From the Blind Goat here in Houston.  Overrated IMHO despite all the foodie pundits...

Birria Tacos? OMG they probably don't know what birria means in Spanish

lol…you might be correct!

The consume on the side for dipping birria style tacos became very popular here a few years back. 

My favorite in town is Doña Lena….legitimate!

Spanish in Mexico and other American countries is sometimes different to Spain. This word birria is one of those cases. With some investigation I've learned that birria in Mexico is a type of BBQ of lamb or baby goat. Now it makes sense :D

You are spot on, Topedo, with all your points.

I speak very mediocre Spanish at best.  Born in Miami, mother from Havana but originally her side of the family came from Oviedo in Asturias.  

Spain is AMAZING!

That's dinner. 

Al's niece Dorothy, who I will refer to as my niece from now on because I've claimed her, cooked a big breakfast this morning. Eggs, bacon, bagel w/cream cheese and a big bowl of fresh fruit. And I'm still full.

Quite the gourmet you are there.

Make sure you hydrate a lot, multiple liters of water per day.  Being dehydrated can cause low blood pressure which causes dizziness and well you can probably guess the rest.

Thank goodness Dorothy doesn't read this forum. She's been drumming that into my head. I am getting better about drinking more water though.

And I will have some grapes later. I've been on a fruit kick lately.

I just realized that I set myself up for gay jokes there.

(A nice cup of) tea and a slice (of lemon berry cake)

Have you ever considered adopting a 63 y.o.?

Maybe a new audiophile shop needs a dependant / tax write off?
