With you. Not at you. It's the second step on the freshly implanted nail that really gets your attention.

Coming from the Ag side of the world, we grew accustomed to sharing lunch with the amigos. Somebody's wife or mom always shows up in the field and sells lunch out of back the van. Sometimes soups of varying origin and or burritos of unknown origin! Food and fellowship was best in the world. Many a fine meal, totally agree with previous post.

My mom makes it. I love hers! Restaurants are a hit or miss @ best. Yes it smells bad when initially cooking it. But once it's done yumm yumm!!! I like it with lots of onions and chopped serrano peppers.

Pig ears? There ain't much there but 2 layers of hide and hair
My wife loved lengua tacos from Taco Cabana until I told her what lengua is. lol
