The Game

This year for Christmas, I gave M tickets to a Dallas Cowboys game. I was so excited because my hot island boy had never been to a Cowboys game and I wanted to "Dallas-ify" him. Little did I know we'd end up at the same game as Jessica Simpson. Our seats were positioned where we could see her with that big, fake hair. And other fake body parts.

The game was fun and exciting at first. Things were moving and it was looking to be a great game. But by the second quarter, the game was looking as bad as "Employee of the Month." Once it hit half-time, Jessica left her fancy window seat and bolted out of there. I thought she left the game but those watching at home told me that she just moved further back into the box suite. But switching seats didn't matter because the game just kept getting worse. By the fourth quarter, it was evident to me that we were not going to win.

The good news was that we were seated near a very angry woman who stood up and SCREAMED vulgarities throughout the game to everyone from McNabb to Romo to Owens. Of course, only those of us lucky to be sitting in that section could hear her insightful words of wisdom. My favorite of the night was, "McNabb, you pussy! Go put a fucking brace on your shitty knee and go warm that fucking bench!" I kinda wish the players could have heard her potty mouth because she was f-ing hilarious!

The game ended (horribly) and we walked out of the stadium with some serious disappointment and some serious anger towards Jessica Simpson. I guess I can't really blame her for the Cowboys losing as she was not on the field. But I can blame her for being a fussy distraction. It just seems fishy to me that a team like ours could fail so miserably once she got onto the scene. It seems even fishier that she flocked to Romo only after he signed over his soul for $65 mil.

Despite/Because of it all M was very grateful and said he had a great time. Since the game was a wash, our favorite part of the night was meeting the bat-shit-crazy people in the audience and having fun ourselves. Here are some pics:

¡Fridalicious!

Oh. My. Gravy! Last night M and I went to Frida's Mexican Bistro for dinner. It's a cozy, new place tucked in the Cedar Springs area of Dallas, otherwise known as the gay district.

It turns out the owner of the restaurant, Jose Cruz, is from the same village in Mexico as Frida Kahlo. That definitely gives him some Frida-credibility. But Jose also built his famous culinary reputation at The Mansion. Yes, that Mansion.

I started off with a Frida-Rita (there's fresh guava in the margarita!) which was strong and sweet. Our appetizer was taquitos stuffed with potato and sprinkled on top was queso blanco. It came with a side of guacamole. The taquitos were flavorful and surprisingly light. That guacamole was so fresh that I could smell it even before the plate hit the table. They also brought out chips and salsa. I've never had salsa like that in my life! It was so good I was eating it with a fork!

M ordered arrachera a la chininque which was a skirt steak with roasted peppers and beans. The peppers were in this creamy, spicy sauce. Delish! The beans were so good that M wanted to order a giant bowl of them to go. I ordered sabana de pollo which was a pounded chicken breast covered in a mixture of queso blano and mushrooms. It also came with rice and sauteed veggies: carrots, peppers, chiles and jicama. ¡Aye Chihuahua!

M and I absolutely LOVED everything at Frida's. I can only remember 2 other times that food made me swoon and that was in Rome and Paris. And now I can add Frida's to the swoon-worthy list! What can I say? I'm crazy in love and now I kinda want to grow a unibrow.
