Why Colombia's Leftist Guerrillas Are Defecting

At a ramshackle radio station nestled in former guerrilla territory, a Colombian soldier-DJ dedicates a country-and-western-style ballad to all the rebels out there having second thoughts about la revolución. In the song, a former guerrilla touts the benefits of disarming. "My life has changed," he declares. "Now I've got a girlfriend. I'm with my family. I give thanks to God.

He would not dare use canned mushrooms. Mushrooms are pretty mythical in Colombia anyway.

But think of all the many uses for a empty can of canned mushrooms could have!

Clavo, that question belongs in the thread titled "Why are Colombia's leftist guerillas defecating?"

Maybe those canned mushrooms allow for the entering of the costeña civilization and the entering of Cali high society.

Miguel,

Preparing an email for you about imports, just getting my thoughts together. I wandered around Publix grocery store today with a notepad. Noting costs,weight and shelf life.

Plus, I bought three boxes of 18 crispy taco shells for a dollar each on sale.

Either or, any decent mexican food in colombia would thrill me. Not Tavos y BBQ.

Manizales had a place years ago that made a rocking burrito, but like all things good it went away.

I usually make a gallon or two of salsa at a time and keep in the fridge to put it on everything.

Are their jalapeños canned or fresh? Because if not, flats will have words with the manager.
