Joanna Brady and Tumbleweeds
I have a lot going on right now, and that is when I turn to books, I don’t know why. The more scheduled I am, the more important it is that I have fairly lightweight reading. My favorite genre is mystery, and there are a number of authors I follow, some more important than others.
I was reading the lastest Joanna Brady mystery, Dead Wrong, by Seattle author J.A. Jance. Joanna Brady became Police Chief in the small (fictional) Arizona town of Bisbee when her husband, then the police chief, was killed and she was asked to fill his position. Since then (several books) she has been elected and re-elected, and solved a lot of crimes, and re-married.
Now, in Dead Wrong, she is heavily pregnant, trying to solve a tricky murder that involves a puppy breeding mill and dog fighting ring.
“We have to go to Tumbleweeds tonight!” I call out to AdventureMan. “Joanna Brady is pregnant and she can’t eat creme brulee, but she dives right into tacos and enchiladas! Now I am starving for Mexican food!”
AdventureMan just laughs, he is always ready for Mexican food.
So just after sunset, we are king of the road, and we drive to Tumbleweeds.
I would love to say something nice about Tumbleweeds.
The service was slow. The servers were poorly trained. The food was SO mediocre. The chips were thick, and cold, and you could see fat congealed on them. The salsa was dull. The burritos and tacos were bland. No wonder we go there so rarely.

I’m sorry, my friend, that you didn’t get the food you were craving. I’ll hit a good Mexican restaurant in your honor in the next few days.:)
do you know any good mexican restaurants in Kuwait? The only one I know and been to is fridays 😳
Momcat! Go ahead, rub it in! Bad! Bad!
Oh Yousef, I wish I did! I like the chips and salsa at Chili’s, and their fajitas are pretty good. For really good burritos, for really good tacos or enchiladas – no. I have heard there is a private caterer who does excellent Mexican food for large groups, but I don’t even know the name. I would LOVE to find really good Mexican food here in Kuwait.
