excuse me well I drool
This morning, I, me, made a very scrumptious corn chip dip. Layered refried beans, salsa, cheese, tomatoes, jalepinos, sour cream and junk. Listen guys...It was a hit at my Mom's birthday party! So I can make stuff that requires more then opening a can. This required opening several cans and smearing it about in a pan.
It's resulting in my getting salsa on the keyboard. I will have to give up eating it until I'm done typing.
But, gotta love Mexican food. Even the fakeish taco bell type stuff is good.
But the real stuff, you haven't lived until you've eaten some of it. Stuff chopped and fried by the street vendors. So fried that they're almost guaranteed to give you a stomach ache. Or some of their desserts! Flan, for one. Or their candy (the stuff that isn't dipped in chili). And flour tortillas soft and fresh from the Ley. I've been down there twice and I doubt I've even discovered half the good stuff. Like, horchata, for instance.
However, my favourites to date...empenadas! I don't know what the heck us health conscious northerners are letting them keep them to themselves for. They're only ninety percent oil. I strongly suspect it's because we could never master the technique of making them. I know my family has never technically succeeded.
So, get on the next bus to Eastern Mexico, and get yourself the first fresh empenada you come across. I almost guarantee you won't be disappointed.
