variegated hotel responses


La Posada, Winslow - Moth is happy to be here, and Gramsci - whoa - is that a dog barking down the corridor?  THAT SOUNDS JUST LIKE SANTA FE ANIMAL SHELTER!  TRIGGERING!  (He's calmed down, by now).  I'm not sure that we have - not only do we seem to have lost one of the room keys (long and boring story, but the question remains, how??) and we have had quite the worst meal here that we've had in nineteen years (well, ok, there was the half chilled one served and eaten outside during the pandemic, but that doesn't count ...) - so bad that we complained about the "Caesar salad" - wet lettuce, some pimento, one thin slice of cheese crispbread - but no advertised pepitas, no cheese, no - most certainly no - anchovy, and each costing $15 - and this has been just fine, in the past.  Sad.  (and, since you asked, not comped, after our complaint).  Nor were the entrees what they might have been, to say the least - or rather, what they have been.  Other than that ... we're on our way to NM ...

  1. A bad meal can be as memorable to recount as a great one, so I enjoyed this report but am sorry you had to endure it! They should've comped it, or offered to remake it. The cats look majestic.

  2. Wet lettuce. They are some of the most evocative words in. food writing, surely ...
