Margaret, what are we going to do with you? You're missing out on some
really good food. It is a HUGE misconception that Mexican food has to be
hot. It is just flavorful...and the condiments you choose control the heat.
People are always amazed when they have Mexican food for the first time at
my house. The usual comment is, "Wow! This is really good. I didn't know
Mexican food would taste like this>"
