O0-k, as long as I have lived in Fort Worth I remember going to Mexican Inn.
I never remember liking it that much but I remember going a lot!
When I worked downtown many many moons ago we went there for lunch.
In fact the only thing I remember that I liked was the strips of chips they set out with the hot sauce, the pralines and the packs of chicklets by the register.
So I went because I was meeting my friend AC who works now and Mexican Inn is convenient for her.
I ordered a taco salad because nothing else sounded good.
The good part about this taco salad was the bowl. It was a fried tortilla.
The inside had beef, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes (YUCK) and something else but it was so dull I don't remember. I took a bite thinking the dressing would be in there somewhere. NOPE no dressing.
Personally I don't really like salads but I love the dressing so to have a salad the size of a placemat with no dressing, it was kinda like having a beer that's not cold. You could do it but why??
0-5 pounds (with 5 being OUTSTANDING and 1 being "I should have stayed home and made a cup of noodles).
I give Mexican Inn a 1 pound for their strips and too tomatoey salsa.

Midsummer Success
Alrighty alrighty alrighty...
I know you have all been dying to know what I wore to my Midsummer fancy shmancy thingy.
Well I had the shoes that were totally awesome!
Then I had to find an outfit.
I went to a store called White House Black Market. Which I think stands for "You will have to sell your house or kidneys on the black market to afford anything we carry!"
Well I went to WHBM on the advice of a friend who works there.
I had talked to someone during the day and told them I was going to go to WHBM in the morning to get myself an outfit for my schmancy thingy. This person, obviously not a very bright one, told me that I should try someplace else because this particular store won't have anything to fit me. Actually I think the quote went like this...
"Kim, I know you have lost some pounds but I don't believe you are in the sizes they carry."
Some pounds?? Try 148 pounds biotch!!
So I waltz into WHBM thinking maybe that chicka was right. Maybe I am too fat for this store. So far, I have only seen skinny girls walk in and I am in no means skinny. I actually thought I should walk out go to Starbucks around the corner and wallow in my skinny latte. I even thought maybe I'll just order myself a full fat Caramel Frappachino! Yeah that's what I needed... a venti 500+ calorie drink to make me feel better!
Then I snapped out of my funk and opened the heavy glass doors and walked inside. WHBM is an appropriate name because everything is white & black but there are a few spashles of color mixed in.
My friend had already set aside some things for me to try on. Some were L and some were XL. She showed me this sleeveless shirt that I LOVED. (For me to LOVE sleeveless should tell you this shirt was awesome!) However, I did mention that sleeveless shirts and my flag arms don't go together so she found me a sweater shrug that was so cute. Then came the necklace, bracelet and earrings to match. I loved all the pieces. It occured to me as I was being rung out that I never looked at the prices. I NEVER do that but today I did.
Sleeveless shirt... $78
Cute sweater shrug...$78
Necklace.... $78
Bracelet...$54
Earrings....$24
OUCH!!
So you know what I did? I put the bracelet back!
What can I say, when you look in the mirror and see some hot momma looking back then there is no way you are not buying what you have on!
I celebrated by having lunch at Mexican Inn.
YUCK! Bad mistake! I think I should become a food reviewer next........
