Lunches to fall in love with

I stopped by Tienda Las Monarcas II today at noon to pick up a bottle of salsa verde for the Mexican Omelette I was going have Jocelyn make me for lunch at The Rapids Cafe. A supply truck was parked out front, the driver was inside chatting in Spanish with the owner while filling the snack rack with chips. There were two choices of salsa verde: La Costeña and Herdez. I had seen La Costeña at Larry's in the past, so I chose Herdez, which believe it or not is owned by 56572's favorite corporation Hormel. As I paid, I asked the owner if I had made the right choice. He concurred. Samantha, my Muddy Moose, now Rapids Cafe waitress saw the bottle I put on the table. Never for a moment would I question Samantha. Neither should you. The woman knows. She said Herdez was good, but that Mrs. Renfro's salsa verde (which Larry's no longer stocks) was better. She is right on, as usual. The Rapids could be one of the only cafes in the state of Minnesota where at least one of the waitresses knows her salsas.

Now to the topic at hand. The placemat posters in the window of the Rapids Cafe were ominous. At first I didn't dare look for fear Doris had changed her mind. Then I saw they were in Spanish! Every Wednesday we have food Mexican original for Armorsar. For you we will wait.

Being self-taught, I have a limited knowledge of Spanish. The word armorsar stumped me. At first I thought of the word amor (love). Original Mexican food to fall in love with! How original! Then I thought you're barking up the wrong tree with that first r. The author, Señora Lety I presume, must have meant to write the word lunch (almorzar) but misspelled it. The thought of "food to fall in love with" is too sweet to let go of, so to my local Spanish vocabulary I have added the verb armorsar (falling in love with lunch). Who cares how wrong it is?

All this between the stoplights of mi pueblito 56572 en enero. Gotta love this place, no matter what. Native speakers: am I out to almuerzo in my language logic? Please correct this hombre if I am wrong.

Samantha said the Mexican Lunch yesterday was very well received. Better call 863-1726 and reserve a table for next Miercoles. Los esperamos. No falta!
