  Heh. My littlest brother moved from Lubbock, Texas to <mumble>
Michigan in about 1979. He [rightly] complained that the diet there was
killing him. Every year for about 8 years, on Rance's birthday, our
mother packed 2 lb carne guisada, 1 lb pollo con arroz, 2 pints
frijoles, 1 3lb can pickled jalapenos (with carrots, cauliflower, &
onions), and 3 dozen fresh flour tortillas. Everything but the
jalapenos was ordered fresh from the Corral Restaurant, packed on dry
ice, and FedExed overnight.
  Rance claimed that he had to hide the carne guisada & the jalapenos
from his roommates.
