\"Church's<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Going through some old receipts earlier this year, I was wondering if I could figure out what our first purchase was after moving to Mexico. <\/strong>Other than legal stuff at the border, of course. Must be food, right? What could it be? Tacos? Churros? Burritos?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, we think we figured it out. 13 years ago today, on our way driving down, we stopped at Church’s Chicken<\/strong><\/a>. Shame on us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know if there is any irony stopping at an American restaurant chain, which was originally started across the street from the Alamo. I do know, however, that we were shortly sicker than we had ever been in our lives with some stomach bug. I doubt it was Church’s Chicken – the theory at the time was that it was peanut butter that we ate later (another very non-Mexican food!), but we may never know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, there’s the receipt to prove it. A couple of combos with fries, an apple pop and a Coke. Well, those sound like us, anyway. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure I’ve eaten at Church’s Chicken since. But thanks for the memories!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could be wrong, but I think this is the place:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
