A Return To Acapulco

Earlier in August, I made my first return to Acapulco since December 28, 2023. That is not to say we have forsaken them in the meantime. KJo and Odie have been there multiple times and we have ordered takeout many times. It is just the first time that I have physically went inside to eat since then.

It was wonderful to see Jorge and all the gang. I have actually seen Jorge a couple times but it was great to visit with him for a while and demonstrate my loyalty to the best Mexican food in the area and the best salsa in the world.

I did not take a picture of my food but you can see a glimpse of it in the picture of me. It is not all that exciting. I order grilled vegetables, chopped into small pieces with lots of cheese sauce and a little chorizo. I also order a little refried beans on the side. I only ate about a third of it and took the rest home.

The reason I had not been back earlier is that I need to concentrate on swallowing when I eat and I get distracted by the conversation in a restaurant. Even if I am not talking, I find myself getting choked much easier than I do alone. That can get ugly quick.

It is easier for me to limit my visits to restaurants. I actually do better when it is only us and we sit away from the crowd where I am less distracted. Of course, it makes a difference what I am trying to eat too.

Surprisingly, I do pretty good eating salad so we have eaten the salad bar at Ruby Tuesday's and Frisch's and the salad at Olive Garden more than anything else. The therapist told me that often lettuce is a nogo for people who struggle to swallow but wouldn't you know that fat guy can eat lettuce.😍

Anyway, I was happy to be back at Acapulco. Jorge's wife called him while he was at the table and I got to speak to her too. It was good all around.

Coming Wednesday
