Well, I was born in AL, but my Dad got transferred to Texas when I was a baby. We lived in very South Texas, the Rio Grande Valley, and there were a lot of Mexicans and Mexican food as we lived near the border of Mexico. Mom learned to cook these Mexican dishes and so I learned how to cook them, also. When I was in High School, I lived back in AL, so married a man from here.....a nice young farm boy I guess I should say and he never had Mexican food. He loved it and loves for me to cook it. Funny thing, he is German! Later when we had to stop farming, he got a job and I used to cook Mexican food for him and some of his "lunch bunch" and I got dubbed TacoMama!
Krystyna - that is a lovely story!
