The smell is driving me crazy!

The friend who invited me to this apartment building (a seven plex) just took me over to the local meat market. We bought carne asada, chicken, pico de gallo, tortillas, and guacamole. Then we went around to the back of the store where there was a big grill, and they cooked our meat for us, seasoned it too. Since my neighbor has a big dog who can reach the counter with his mouth, and the meat needs to stay at room temperature, I'm babysitting it. And it smells tantalizingly awesome! I can't wait till tonight, when we'll have a bit of a welcome dinner put on by the neighbors. I've never felt this happy or this welcomed. As for you, have you ever had a store cook your purchase for you?

Though it's a bit strange, the meal was one of the healthier ones I've had recently. The chicken was very lean and the only carbs or fat were from the very small tortillas and the guacamole.

I have been to restaurants that cook while you watch and I believe some of the stores will do it as well.

Cut up, yes, cook, no. There are stores here that cook food to sell, but not sell it to you and then cook it.

Nice! At first I thought this discussion was going to be about a gross smell, so I am glad that is not the case. Enjoy it!

Wow are you doing well. We have Mexican meat markets on every corner here but the one I went into I walked out of. Did not look wholesome. I am delighted at your better home life. Enjoy your welcome dinner.

I cannot recall ever having a store cook my purchase for me. I am happy for you that your new neighbors are making you feel so welcome.

When we were traveling in Newfoundland, the sea food shops would steam our lobster for us. We could tell them the time we wanted it and come back and pick it up. It was better than boiling it on our camp stove!
