I seem to be doing the rounds of Mexican restaurants in BrisVegas of late.  Last week it was La Quinta in Balmoral with the girls and tonight it was Dos Amigos in Toowong with Yale.  Both places have excellent menus.  The sangria at La Quinta is slightly nicer in my opinion but I am a bit of a sangria snob.

When we were first seated we were provided with some corn chips and homemade salsa to nibble on while contemplating the menu.  The salsa was particularly good so it got devoured pretty quickly.  For entrees we ordered some chirozo and chilli ball things called Diablo Balls or Dingo Balls or DingBat Balls (whatever) and some chillis stuffed with cream cheese that had been deep fried, and for mains some chicken fajitas and chimichanga thing that both came with all the salad and rice and yumminess.

Anyway when the entrees arrived I tried the Dragon Ball things and the cut one in half.  The first bite had the eyebrows up as the eyes started to water as they were quite a bit hotter than I am accustomed to.  Personally I prefer to be able to taste my food rather than feel it and the idea of food making you burst into a flushed sweat isn’t really high on my list of culinary preferences. 

So I cut myself a second little nibble of the Dogs Bollocks and used my knife to scoop on a hearty dollop of the salsa that came with them saying to Yale ‘Wow these are a bit hot.. I think I’ll try to temper it a bit with a bit of salsa.’  Then prompty popped it into my mouth as Yale said ‘That isn’t salsa’.

Holy snappin’ duck shit!!!  ARGHGHGH!!!  I had just scooped a generous helping of chilli sauce onto the already hot chirozo/chilli Demon Ball thingy.  Naturally I tried to drown it with sangria but that didn’t help much and had to send for emergency guacamole from the kitchen.  And Yales response?  Laughed his arse of and SMSed a friend about how I can’t handle my chilli  🙁
