[SOC] Chilies!!!!!

[Bob Nielsen]

I moved here from Tucson, AZ just over 4 years ago.  I sure miss some of
the food (add chimichangas to that list, as well).  A few of the local
Mexican restaurants aren't too bad, but it ain't the same.  But at least
we have decent beer which is served at temperatures above freezing.
