I found the answer.
An airplane.
Did you know that Gardunos has a location at The Palms casino in Las Vegas? Yes of course you knew that and so did I, The Palms being owned by those good New Mexico boys the Maloof Brothers.
On Thursday, I entered the establishment with much trepidation. Would it be the same as my beloved Winrock Mall location? Would the margs taste right? Would the menu be the same?
I exhaled a sigh of relief to see the *exact* same menu. I ordered a marg. Aaaah, there it is.
I had an obscene amount of green chile, what they call their "Chile Gourmet", a green chile bowl con machaca. The fruit of Hatch was hot that night, so hot I was "whoo'ing" and sweating like an amateur. Such delicious pain.
Such a happy New Mexico girl.
I'll let you in on a secret. I'm going again tonight! Yipee! And taking some "newbies". Hope they love it! Aw really who cares, *I* love it (and so does that wonderful man who will hold my hand and give me water when I weep "it's too hot" tears) and everything is gonna be all right in my world.
Enjoy the weekend!
