¡Me encanta la comida aqui...Que rico!
I recieved a package from home today....lots of goodies, magazines and a few clothing items. It is fun to share with my friends...¡Gracias Familia! Today was fun because Lalo doesn´t work on Thursdays...he came to school to pick my up when I was done. We went to pick up my box together since I didn´t know where the post office was...they told me they wouldn´t deliver the box because it was too big. I was expecting a HUGE box...I think they are just too lazy to deliver packages! We went to get a cheeseburger at a place called "la segraria" the mexican equivalent of a diner....horrible....never eat bad american food in Mexico! We then went to see Miguel at the tattoo shop...I want to get another tatoo...something in Spanish...not sure yet what I want...or maybe a piercing...hahah! After dropping off my box and finishing my homework, Lalo and I got dinner at what so far has been my favorite place. We had the best "pozole" which is an amazing soup with meat, veggies, and spices. ¡Que sabrosa! I´m lucky to have a "mexican tour guide"! I need to find a recipe for that when I get back...I wish you all could share some of these experiences with me because I will never be able to describe in words how amazing they are! To eat authentic pozole at a small little cantina where you pretty much know there is a little old lady in the back making everything from scratch...indescribable! Next we had "tacos al vapor con res" steamed tacos with bull? Not sure we eat that in the U.S. and if we do we don´t call it bull...I learned the authentic way to eat them....open them up and load in quacamole, tomato salsa, spicy salsa...roll it back up and YUM! After dinner we were going to meet up with Katie and we had a drink and a "pastel de nuez" (nut cake...not my favorite) while we were waiting. Unfortunately Katie wasn´t feeling well so we decided to go to "Casa de Mezcal" Here I experienced another one of my most favorite things from Mexico...smoky Mezcal followed by a juicy orange slice covered in "sal de gusanito" (salt mixed with chili and crushed maguey worm). The combo of the sweet orange mixed with the spicy, salty chili is amazing! Don´t worry I am bringing both back the the states with me when I come...along with "chapulines" a favorite snack here. I´ll let you know what those are after you eat them....The culinary experience here has been truly awesome. Most things I have liked...some are a little too nasty for me (tripa or pig intestines...with the filling and all) but I have tried it all! I only wish that I could capture it all and bring it home to share with you all! Adios...Besos...Hasta Pronto!
