El Paso

It’s hard for me to even think of this restaurant as “El Paso.” It’s called “Best Food Yes” to us (the picture should explain why). We go here so much that last time we visited, when we walked in, the hostess said, “I have something that I think belongs to you.” She produced a bag from behind the counter, containing one of Smalls’ dolls that we had forgotten last time we were there. How nice is that?

Bad picture, yes? Actually it's mine from Intsagram, so I suppose wanted it to look this bad.

I was kind of nervous about this one for some reason. Maybe it’s because I remember going here several times when Beardy and I were dating and just married, so I kind of associated it with going out without kids. Once we ordered fancy martinis and didn’t realize they were $10 each so we were surprised when the check came. This became a running joke between us.
