Mexican and Pho!

I have been exceedingly bad about posting lately. I’ve had a case of the Mondays for a little over a week now, I suppose. Well, no more! Lots of exciting food has passed my way recently, most of which I ate while not having a camera on the near vicinity, alas. Here’s a rundown:

I [...]

Ceviche de camarones, in it’s potentially poisonous form!

So I didn’t win that avocado contest. But it’s all good. I hadn’t had much experience doing video before, you could see the little strings that moved the avocados, and my voice acting definitely still needs some work. But, in a way, it’s good my video didn’t make it to the next round. This is [...]

Leftover Mexican Food is Infinite

Seriously, it is. I never have leftovers last as long as Mexican food.
Example #1: Chipotle. Mind you, it’s rather Americanized as Mexican food goes (*pretty* sure of this, at least), but it does not change the fact that it is delicious.
This past Halloween, there was a glorious promotion whereupon if you wore tin [...]

Dragonfruit + Cheese Sandwich = Joy

Dragonfruits are a strange sort of fruit, one that I’ve only discovered recently. While here in the US their price hangs around $4 a pop, they’re at a much more reasonable 50 cents to a buck in Mexico, so of course I had to get one. In any case, they’re tasty. It’s like a kiwi [...]

Dang Quesadilla

I heart quesadillas. I have a bad habit of trying to be healthy, so generally when I make quesadillas, I bake them. I was feeling saucy this time, and decided to fry this baby up.

Having since eaten the above item, I think that in the future, the small amount of oil used is totally worth [...]

Soup that is Filled with Delicious

Here’s my first sampling of soup in Mexico. I’m really not sure what type of soup this is. Considering my Spanish language skills (or, rather, lack thereof), I feel lucky that I ended up with soup, period. In any case, it is filled with delicious. Well, and celery, potatoes, carrots, and a Mystery Vegetable.

This soup [...]

Tacos Al Pastor

Strangely enough, tacos al pastor have pretty much nothing to do with any sort of ministry, unless it’s the Ministry of Pork.

The meat is shaved off of this giant meat cylinder of the sort that I’d totally love to wrap my body around and gnaw upon for awhile. It’s rather similar to a giant [...]

Giant Pile of Mexican Food (maybe?)

Honestly, I’m not sure it’s Mexican. Mexico is pretty far away from my current location, and while I am surrounded with a plethora of delightful (and some not so delightful) Mexican restaurants, I am rather clueless as to their authenticity. Rumor has it that many (if not most) of them are Tex-Mex, in fact. One [...]

Peruvian/Mexican hybrid Ceviche

So last summer, Drew and I were in Peru. We (or rather, mostly I) had the delightful experience of eating ceviche there. Ceviche (or cebiche, depending) is a delightful concoction of fish and lemon and lime and other squishy and tasty items. So, during the ‘Hey, we’re leaving tomorrow, lets hit the grocery store and [...]
