Panaderia Showdown

 

 

It is finally here. Hold on to your bucket seats because I will soon bring you the showdown for the ages: Pano's Bakery vs. Polo's Bakery.

You 'member the Pepsi challenge, well this will be Pano/Polo Challenge. Which bakery will come out on top as having the better pan dulce? Which bakery will have the bragging rights as being a DeLaredo highly recommended panaderia? It's a prestigious honor for sure. 

Very soon we will answer the eternal question: Polo's pan ducle or Pano's pan dulce? Stay tuned...and bring your coffee.





 

Yankee Truck

Evil Empire Truck

I found myself late at night at the HEB  and as I was getting off my truck, a Red pick-up with a flashy Yankee decal pulled up next to me.  For a brief second, evil thoughts crossed my mind (a much needed ding here and there) and I could see myself doing things that I might later regret. Needless to say, I left the truck alone but I did curse Jeter and his GQ self. Good thing it wasn't the regular season or else, quien sabe...

Looking

No need to keep looking. You have found it: Laredo's worst blog.

Glad you stopped by. Please leave a quarter in the tip jar. 

My Favorite Songs-of-the-Moment

Here you go, my top 6 songs that are on the repeat button of my CD changer. Laugh away at my musical ignorance. Click here to read more (if you dare!!!).

Tax Time

It's tax time again and the local businesses are out again trying to lure customers in. The above picture was taken from a tax place on Springfield and just three houses down, on the same street, is another tax place. Looks like some stiff competition.

I hope I get a good tax return this year. I know several places downtown where I can spend my cash. You're invited BTW. First round on me.

Pano's Bakery and Lonestar Card

Pan Dulce MMM

Pano's bid to be Laredo's best bakery seems to be well underway, and now that they have opened their 7th store, it seems that they have they have taken over the world. Personally, I prefer Quickie, La Perlita or El Mejor Pan Bakery myself, but Pano's has its moments, especially when the other bakeries are closed for the day or have run out of sweet bread.

One thing I had not noticed is that Pano's accepts Lonestar Card. Wow, must be nice to eat pan dulce on someone else's dime. Goes to show how important sweet bread is to raza.

Now, if only Mami Chula's accepted Lonestar, then that would be sweeter.

WBCA and other silly things

That crazy time that we all dread is here again. It's that time of the year in which we all have a love/hate relationship with all things George and its WBCA version of him.

 I'm tired of having to defend Laredo. There isn't anything to do in Laredo, they say.
The are no bookstores in Laredo. People are illiterate here, they say.
Parks are awful in Laredo. But I still defend my hometown. There is a high unemployment rate in this city. But I still defend mi Laredo.

But the hilarious Martha Washington shenanigans and most of the WBCA events, that I can't defend.

Its that time of the year again in which I'm ashamed to live in Laredo (OK, easy on the drama now).

Thinking of buying me another ride

I always wanted an '86 regal. Its crazy. Don't hate. I'm going to buy it and trick it out too. 

 

Who knows, I might even give you a ride. Just easy on the trash talking.

Tome Schlitz: Little Joe y la Familia

I ran across a song titled "Tome Schlitz" that I had found on a forum some time back. It's a Little Joe song. Looks like it was recorded sometime in the mid to late 70s. I had a couple of cold ones, during a carne asada, with my father and we played this song several times. Made a video slide show with some random pictures I found online. I'm getting thirsty now. Tomen Schlitz people!

 

Menudo Bowl

I'm saddened to admit that I will be unable to attend the Menudo Bowl. I had hoped on going and snapping some pics for the ol' blog, but, due to work, I won't be attending the Bowl.  Send me some pics of the event if you have some to share with everyone.
