I think posts of old events serve a purpose including being a place where people can post feedback or reviews of the event, ask about plans for the next one, etc.

Excellent question.

It "shows up" again because there was a comment made to it yesterday. New comments push posts to the top of the list and put them in the email digest.

Mexican wines featured at the new and very improved Grille Torres.

About three and a half years ago, I was shopping ..., a sign caught my eye, a classy looking sign, with the words Grille Torres.

The menu persuaded me to stay for lunch and I had some imaginatively-prepared shrimp as well as an exceptional piece of salmon.

I liked Grille Torres a lot. — Don Day

Two different neighbors asked me about this recently.

A Reverse Osmosis (RO) system is typically installed under the kitchen sink and has a separate faucet for your drinking water.

If you do not have an RO system you may have Arsenic or Fluoride in your tap water. As Caminos de Agua says: Since contamination levels are constantly changing in San Miguel, we at Caminos de Agua recommend that if you do not have a reverse osmosis treatment system, not to drink the tap water.

The filter canisters that are commonly installed here do not and a UV light filter does not remove Arsenic or Fluoride. They both are useful and serve a purpose but they do not remove Arsenic or Fluoride. A Brita type filter also does not.

To see a map of Fluoride / Arsenic levels for the SMA area see the map on the Caminos de Agua website (but the levels can and do change): https://caminosdeagua.org/en/water-quality-monitoring/.

I am thankful for your very helpful list. :-)

Last year we enjoyed the great buffet at La Frontera from your list and plan on doing the same again this year. I don't usually eat meat but Thanksgiving is an exception.

We walked over to Grill Torres earlier today for the breakfast. With their new breakfast menu they have a lot to choose from: French Toast, Pancakes, Eggs Benedict, Crepes, Breakfast Potatoes, Oatmeal, Breakfast Casserole, Coffee, Tea and Juice!

I had the steel cut oatmeal with fruit and nuts and Victoria had the gluten free banana and oatmeal pancakes. Mmmmmm....excellent!

Note that Grill Torres serves breakfast Thursday - Sunday 9:30am - 1pm. If you're reading this Monday morning...you'll have to wait until Thursday.
