When it’s 100 degrees in the shade, most folks look for a cool drink or two. But if you’re a Texan, you’ll also want something to eat with that – something spicy and cheesy and delicious.
Enchiladas
When it’s hot outside
like melt your face
slow your speech
bend time
hot
most people want cold
they want ice cream
or lemonade,
wwimming pools,
air conditioning
but you know what Texans want?
REAL Texans?
when it’s sweat-slippery
shirt-drowning hot?
real Texans want enchiladas
hot, spicy, chili and cheese covered
enchiladas
the kind that burn your tongue
in seven different
the kind that make
even in the cold
because real Texans know
the only way to make 110 feel cool?
is to fill your gullet
with hot Texas spice
and revel in the suddenly
cool
breeze
around you.
