Just to let you know . . .

Mauricio is trying.

I've been pretty sick for 2 full days, without a bite of food. Tonight we went down and asked if I could get a bowl of chicken consome. The waiter explained that they weren't seating any more people to maintain better service. Quite laudable.

When Mauricio got wind of it, he said of course, sit down and they got busy preparing the soup, even though it's not on the evening menu. They even bumped up my husbands porkchop order so i could get back home sooner. Very sweet but my point is that they really do seem to be trying harder.

He told me to come back tomorrow so his wife could prepare yerba buena for me. Wow.
