It’s Friday night…must be El Bracero night!

Meet Martin.  He is one of our favorite waiters at El Bracero, the local Mexican restaurant that our family loves to frequent.  Actually, we have frequented it so much, the waiters know all of our names.  Over the years, we have given names to the waiters too — although they are not their real names.  We discuss amongst our family what they should be named and from then, that is how we refer to them.   For example, one waiter looks like a guy I went to high school with so we call him Nazeem.  Then there is Ozzie, Muy Guapo, Puppy…you get the picture.

I was going to ask Martin tonight if they use Roasted Garlic soup base in their guacamole, but there is definitely a language barrier.  Once, he asked me what I did for my work and I had no luck trying to explain that I make soup base for a living!

So, for now, we just go and enjoy the food and company.  Soon, we will introduce them to our new lime salt.  I can think of a few good uses for lime salt in a Mexican restaurant!  Can you?
