I love pasta, spaghetti the best. Mexican and Thai are my least favorites, mainly because they don't agree with me. However, I do eat Thai at least once a year, as my daughter loves it and picks out a particular Thai restaurant to go to on her birthday every year. Apparently, her family likes it, too. My son loves Japanese cuisine, and I do enjoy that some, too. <br /><br />Kylie, when I was growing up, my family vacationed quite a bit on Lake Erie, at Sandusky, where we stayed at the grand old hotel Hotel Breakers. I can remember walking back to our rooms and hearing the band play. Lake Erie's water had yet to be polluted back in the early 60s, so we swam in it. It was just like being at the ocean, with the beach and water that extended beyond our sight. Of course, there was Cedar Point there, too, but we mainly focused on the lake.

When I'm in London I eat a lot of Indian, Thai, French, and Italian, but my very favorite is Middle Eastern. There is a fabulous Lebanese restaurant near Victoria Station called Kazan that I never miss. I'm hungry just thinking about it.<br /><br />But, while there are some decent Mexican restaurants in London these days, I'm always ready to come home to Texas for Tex-Mex. I also love the Mexican/Southwestern food you get in New Mexico and Arizona.Deborah Crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988750789088153601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-33322748256460251712018-07-03T12:47:39.969-04:002018-07-03T12:47:39.969-04:00Oh no!

Then he was in downtown Cleveland at a bank right across the street from Rinaldi's Jewelry (Little John!). His job put him in contact with lots of police departments including Cleveland's. One of our best friends is a retired police detective from Cleveland and we still keep in touch with him and his wife. I was introduced to the pierogi in Ohio. But I had a difficult time finding good Mexican food back then. Nowadays I live in Houston which is a very international city. We have everything food-wise. I still lean towards Tex Mex and authentic barbecue. Authentic as in smoked! And good seafood!Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-26957006683035488852018-07-03T11:28:20.548-04:002018-07-03T11:28:20.548-04:00I love Mexican food, which is good living in South...I love Mexican food, which is good living in Southern CA where Mexican restaurants are everywhere.

I liked it a lot -- then they moved the restaurant to where it is no longer convenient for me, and I haven't been back. I remember thinking it seemed kind of like a mashup of Greek and Middle Eastern (duh, I realize, given where Turkey is.) But as I've said above, I like food, period, so I may not be a good one to ask.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292993485984273172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-1168665775489834472018-07-03T10:44:25.690-04:002018-07-03T10:44:25.690-04:00Welcome, Kylie!
