Don't fear trying new things
STEVEN HARRIS
      We had lunch at the new Tree House Restaurant on Saturday. The menu is limited to tortas and tacos - two of my favorite foods. A torta is a sandwich made from a sub type bread, called a bolillo (bo-lee-o). The bread is lightly toasted, then the meat, lettuce, onion, cilantro, and avacado are put on. It's topped off with a crumbled white cheese.

The only Christian thing was a skit by one of the churches. I don't think it is right to expect something because you read it in the paper and then it is not done.
