Seven favorite Mexican dishes in St. Paul metro to try on Cinco de Mayo

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:46:33 GMT

Cinco de Mayo, that celebration of all things Mexico, is one of my favorite holidays, because it usually involves tacos and tequila, two things I am frequently in the mood for.But tacos aren’t the only Mexican food I’m in love with — in fact, there’s little in the way of food from our southern neighbor that I won’t eat.So this year, I decided to offer you a smattering of my favorite Mexican dishes in town, from some of my most-frequented restaurants. If you’re looking to change things up, maybe give some of these dishes a try!Machete at Taco LibreThe Machete at Taco Libre, Dec. 10, 2019. (Nancy Ngo / Pioneer Press)This local chain of restaurants started less than a mile from my house, and I’ve been a fan since day one. I’ve tried most of the menu, but I always come back to the machete — a giant, house-made tortilla (seriously, it’s the size of a manhole cover), stuffed with meat, lettuce, crema and melty Oaxaca cheese. It’s like a cross between a taco and a quesadilla, a...

98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: My Neighbors Are Upset About My Trash Cans

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:46:33 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma is about neighbors and trash. Here's the email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime, I have a social dilemma for you. I like to roll my trash and recycle bins to the street earlier in the day for a few reasons. One is that I go to bed early for my job and two, so I don’t forget. Last week I was outside pulling weeds and my neighbors across the street came over and asked me to not put the cans out so early. They said they didn’t like looking out their window and seeing the trash cans. They even went so far as to say that sometimes, my trash is overflowing a bit, and that is really ugly to see.  I don’t think I should have to worry about that. I have garbage...it goes in the garbage can, which then goes to the end of my driveway to be picked up!  Should I wait until later to put out my cans or keep doing what I do? It's not like the trash is flying all over the pla...

Dear Amy: My husband and I have been married for 19 years.His brother is an alcoholic, which is a common theme in his family.He has been unfaithful to his wife on numerous occasions.At a family event (about six years ago), he made sexual advances toward me.I told my husband that his brother makes me very uncomfortable and I do not want him around our kids with his level of drinking, but didn’t want to cause a huge family rift, as his wife had been put through so much already.We are the more successful/healthy of all the siblings and are perceived as snobby.We have kept our space for many years.

The brothers have not spoken since.My mother-in-law is aware of these issues and spends every holid...
