Como estan todos? As we approach the end of the first quarter of the year, things really haven’t been that bad. Besides the gas increase, the IRS looking for me, two car payments behind, one-month rent and breaking that lent problems in less than 24 hours. Shoot things could be a bit worse. Like we have said many times before, hey what is life all about? Its about owe money to other people. You know in Spanish we have a saying that says without debts we wouldn’t have anything. Well let’s use that slogan as our policy for the rest of the year.
Now lets talk about the barrio stock market.
Los taquitos, for the end of this quarter los taquitos are the leading contenders for this year’s best investment. Since many have readied our report and have decided to start buy more taquitos than to make then at home. Like we reported several weeks ago que we need to spend more money in small hood restaurants, just to keep them afloat. Los taquitos remain stable at $ 1.25 each. Of course a big city will offer you twice as much but not as good, huh?

Las tortillas, a brand new tortilla brand hit the local stores and the hood this week. The company Las Tortillas De Hood, is own and operated and is a Internet-based, consumer marketplace, licenses factory, and also provides consumer contents published for your convinces by some shady rear end folk. Their reprehensive stopped by the last week, named John homes. Up to now we have not been able to locate the company on the net but he did give us some free packages of tortillas just last week.

We here and you there, are also here to serve you as a consumer advocate and feel que we need to keep track of all those that come into the hood and try to sell stuff that we don’t need or meet our quality of standards. And folks this new company does not do that for us, and we have tried their tortillas, and rated them poorly on this product. Them tortillas stick like cake and when you heated them up, my god the grew twice as big. Las tortillas took a dive with this new company under price their product by .50 cent a dozen. Out doing all the rest at the end of this quarter. Tortillas ended the week at $1.25 per package.

Las empanadas, Represents the change from one year to the next in their product. It seems que many empanada companies have including but not limited to the decrease the filling in them. Yet, many companies have increase in inventories and have had an increase in accrued sales and huge increase in accruals as reported in the cash flow statement found in many company’s trash cans that we scout. What does this mean? Que estos pincha vatos are selling more con less filling inside de las empanadas. The price went up this week at .65 cents each. Again we will never ever again see them at four for a dollar.

Los tamales, wow what can I say, like we say they are not a seasonal thing anymore and now con esta cold weather, Sell me a dozen to go. What can I say about tamales, only that they are packets of corn dough with a savory or sweet filling and typically wrapped in cornhusks? The packets are steamed and eaten traditionally served with a tall glass of cold beer. Many consumers have complaint to us que on the contrary to what is found in most American-Mexican restaurants, most tamale are not served with a sauce, but rather simple and plain. Yes sir plain and dry. Las tamales remain stable for the end of this quarter at $5.00 a dozen; .50 cents lower than last year at this time.

La baracoa de beef head. We got a real big treat this week from a friend of ours, J>P> weeks dropped by yesterday a shared a story with us on how to BAKED BEEF Head. He said that From: The Only Texas Cookbook, Texas Monthly Press, 1981 By: Linda West Elkhart. Here J>P> tells us que John Casey tells him the South Texas ranchers had some help from Mexicans when it came time to butcher. The Mexicans taught them how to make use of the entire animal. They would take a steer or heifer head, skin it, salt and pepper it, wrap it in several sacks of wet burlap. Dig a deep hole. Line the hole with rocks made hot by a roaring campfire. Put the head in. Cover it with a thin layer of dirt. Then pour on more hot rocks and dirt until the whole thing was covered. They would come back 18 or 20 hours later, dig the head up, unwind the burlap, pull out the tongue, hit the skull with an ax, and eat the brains, the tongue, everything.

Casey says it’s a real treat. This meat-in-a-hole method is an old trick. Sometimes it doesn't work out. They were having a huge barbecue in the Panhandle recently one of those public celebrations where they killed 7 or 8 animals and meant to barbecue them all. Well, you can imagine how this story went. The Caterpillars were driven in to dig a huge pit. The barbecue man laid his fire, got it just right, put in all this meat, covered it up. Came back in 24 hours with 20,000 hungry people behind him, dug it up, and discovered the fire had gone out. He had lots of beans, lots of cole slaw, and lots of rotting meat in a hole. No wonder some cooks turn to drink.

With that in mind easy on the fat, I will take a pound of it to go. La barbacoa ending this quarter on a high note, going at $6.00. A dollar jump from last week.


And finally cheap beer. Well folks what can I say. Just in our hood there is three stores and ever-freaky store has different prices. We buy at the best deal. Cheap beer remain stable for the quarter at $4.65 a six pack.

From my office at the storage units on the third floor of the Westinghouse barrio mall. I am Urbano Yosabatodo. Good day.
