Sometimes, there are forces in the universe that are hard to ignore.
Last night, in the waning hours of a relaxing but still eventful weekend, I saw a news story about Mexican Fiesta and thought to myself "I wish I had gone this weekend. I could go for some Mexican food ..."
The seed was planted.
While grabbing something out of the refrigerator this morning, I thought -- "I think we should have Mexican food for dinner tonight..."
An hour later, while driving on Bluemound Road this morning, I saw a sign at the former Monreal's El Matador, 9155 W. Bluemound Rd., the sign reminded commuters that the venerable restaurant, which had been in business since the 1960s, will soon re-open as part of the La Fuente family of eateries.
I can't wait that long. I've got to have some rice and beans, soon. Pass the hot sauce, please.
