Tex-Mex

We love fixing rum and Pepsi Max drinks on Friday nights.  This cocktail goes really well with Tex-Mex.  We have tried many rums and have found that we like spiced rum the best for mixing cocktails.  This next week we will be attending Rum Week here in Bonaire.  It's advertised as the biggest rum week in the Caribbean.  Hopefully, we will find some more rum for our weekly ritual.

One of the foods we miss from the States is Tex-Mex. We can't buy tomatillos, jalapenos with flavor or refried beans. Our restaurants do not serve Mexican food.  Our friends make authentic Mexican food but we feel bad inviting ourselves to their house to cook for us all the time. 

One of my good friends who recently visited brought green chili from Santiago's, a Colorado Mexican restaurant, as a leave behind gift. Rick and I planned all week to have burritos with green chili.  We shopped for the stuff we like, we cooked together, had some drinks and used the green chili.

These were some of the best burritos we have had in the last two years. It's all because of the gift of the luscious, spicey green chili. They were so good that we had some the next day too!

It was one of the best meals we had since we came to the island. YUM YUM YUM
