here's a sampling of the kind of tour we offer:a day of bicycling down the poinsettia lined paseo de reforma to pop into the pair of ultra modern art museums followed by some blue corn quesadillas filled with exotic wild greens, creamy oaxacan cheese & spicy salsa verde...then adjourning to to a tiny mezcaleria for samples of local firewater & hipster watching...ORtrekking on the metro to a small

I'm fretting over some goodies I have in my ebay store. It's so easy to put something on ebay, sell it for $25, then watch someone sell it for $2500. So, I started researching these designers' dresses and they are pretty valuable...this label seems to be from 1968 - 1979. I haven't been able to confirm it yet...but the research continues...

This traditional sweet bread is always difficult to find in New York. Pan Bimbo, the company that bought out wonderbread. In the past I have found it occasionally at Mexico 2000, my local Mexican grocery, but am always looking for the freshest bread.pan de muerto is being baked and sold at tulcingo bakery on greenpoint avenue in sunnyside. Thy may even sell sugar skulls, a very hard to find item

My goal is to catalog and share the research that I am doing on the history and evolution of Mexican food. I spent 2002 living in Mexico City with my boyfriend. When I returned to Brooklyn I found work at a neighborhood Mexican restaurant. This experience proved invaluable as I continued to practice my Spanish, learn more cooking techniques, and most importantly befriend cooks from central Mexico

so I decided to relaunch this project with a more specific focus on my research of Mexican food and culture. For now I will post some bits and pieces from websites related to mexican cooking and we will see where we go from here!

BY VICKY COWAL/The Herald MexicoMarch 17, 2005 From the 1930s to the early 1950s Emilio "El Indio" Fernandez was a shining star in the heyday of Mexico's "golden age" of film. As both actor and director, in such classic movies as "Maria Candelaria," "Flor Silvestre," "Enamorada" and "Pueblerina," he sought to bring back old indigenous values and dignity. He also did a great deal to revive

So they rounded up a team of gastronomic experts and cajoled

the first day or 2 you should watch what you eat & not eat on the street. once your body is acclimated, just be mindful of your surroundings. I always think that a healthy squeeze of lime and a generous amount of chile helps kill the bacterias. the only time i've gotten serious food poisoning has been off some mushrooms that i prepared at home. in my experience, expensive restaurants have

BANG! Another holiday springs up on you! Today is Dia de los Reyes Magos!!! Last night we had to go to Wal-Mart after work at 10pm. The street market was live- everyone we saw was carrying toys and gifts! It had to be their busiest day of the year. Wal-Mart, which has had an additional warehouse full of toys opened since the end of November, was open 24 hours as was the city that was built on

so i went to the Condesa. actually i was craving fashion and scenesterism after 10 days in Tampico, so i dragged Jorge to La Condesa to cruise the vibe. La Condesa (the countess) is a beautiful tree filled neighborhood that is built around several pretty plazas (including Parque Mexico & Parque Espa–a). I read somewhere that it has the highest concentration of art deco buildings out side of my

12.20  fought like hell to get out of the city...nearly knocked over by families lugging couch sized cardboard boxes & suitcases the size of bicycles. it took half an hour to get our bags in the bus...but it was cool how everyone was talking to their seat mates- all going home to the Tuxtlas 12.21 arrival in Catemaco around 8 am. walked up the street to where the pick ups to the other towns.

even though i am here in veracruz dining daily of soft, white handmade tortillas made with fresh masa. this article in the new york times is making me drool! every once in a while, i used to stop at hot bagels on grand street after i crossed the williamsburg bridge on my bicycle. the real deal oldschool bagel- no schmear needed. i would take these to work and my boss would forgive my tardiness.

why i love mexican parties: everybody shares this common background that inevitably comes out in song or playground chants "QUE CANTA ! QUE CANTA !" there´s always a least a little bit of food. maybe just potato chips or peanuts that are chili coated. or maybe something more elaborate: alahambres cooked on the grill with peppers and onion, sopes, pozole YUM! someone always takes charge of

one of the advantages of living in mexico is getting to leave the big city and try regional specialties. I especially enjoy differnet variations of street foods. The biggest treat is homecooking, always created with the expertise of someone who knows their recipes inside and out, what follows are basically my notes for a deeper investigation i plan to conduct when i return to Pueblo Viejo during

Yesterday was thanksgiving. Yesterday was a sad day for me because I love thanksgiving. I love planning for it, shopping for it, cooking for it, eating it, sharing it. But i don't live in the united states. I live in mexico now. in chilangolandia to be exact. Even though some gringos were celebrating, most mexicans think of turkey only for christmas dinner. yesterday d.f. hosted a massive

i spent all day saturday home alone pouring over recipes and suggestions for thanksgiving recipes on the internet. first i read this discussion your way or their way and thought about the blankness of the faces of my mexican familiy in regards to this tradition, which they see as typical american gluttony- serving a 20 lb turkey, 6 side dishes and 5 deserts on a random thursday in november. and

d.f. is distrito federal: mexico city, but became its own state a few years ago. All the chilangos call it d.f.-along with all the foreigners trying to sound in the know.

After work we went to the chi-chi hotel habita's rooftop bar, Area. The hotel is beautiful- kind of like an Ian Shrager hotel. The facade is very modern and glassy. The hotel is furished very design-y and minimalist. It so what was cool in the states like 10 years ago. Aura is the restaurant in the lobby which is cool, but too ...lobbyish...we inquired about the menu and asked what was

My mom sent me this email this morning: I have access to Grandtom's history. In 1957 he and Granddot and another couple made a trip to Guatemala and mexico in their Oldsmobile ‘98. They drove it to New Orleans then loaded on freighter to be unloaded in Puerto Barrios. When they off loaded it the crane went down too fast and it almost bounced. It was then placed on a railroad car and they

i have lived in d.f. for the past 6 months and these are my brushes: i was riding a combi from el rosario (great saturday market for cheap used clothing!) on saturday afternoon and 2 kids jumped on- one brandishing a very small pistol & the other a plastic bag for the passengers to empty our belongings in. my boyfriend gave tossed in his empty monedero, i fumbled with the $260 pesos or so i had

I went to Patzcuaro, Michoacan for the weekend of dia de muertos. It was incredible. And crowded, like the metro. first of all, the area of Patzcuaro and around is gorgeous- a little mountainy, lots of lakes, super green & misty. It is the center of the tarascan people- now known as the purpecha. They are known for their colorful fusion of their indigenous (& prehispanic) religion with

so i finally broke down and did it. after six months of turning up my nose at starbucks in mexico city. i stopped by for a brownie frappaccino (its like a extra charged coffee milkshake with bits of brownies in it!) i also wasn't carrying any cash & have been craving new york city lately, so a visit to the evil starbucks seemed in order. i was walking home from work in the afternoon sun. that

Have you ever had chiles en nogada? We spulrged at a historic restaurant the hosteria santo domingo so my sister could sample chiles en nogada- a patriotic dish of stuffed pobalanos (green) with a creamy walnut & almond sauce (white) sprinkled with pomegranate seeds (red). The peppers are stuffed with ground pork/beef, pineapples, pears, peaches, apples, platanos, onion,pine nuts, cinnamon,

Guatemala was beautiful. My sister and I rented a lovely little house in San Pedro de la Laguna, on the shores of Lago Atitlan- this magical crater lake surrounded by mountains & volcanoes and 13 little pueblos Jorge and my mom and our friend Ricardo from d.f. visited so it was fun and very relaxing. I had a small kitchen (that was half indoors & half outdoors) so I did a lot of cooking! and

5.12.o3 cuautitlan izcalli okay, so every time i try to type up the stories of my recent adventures in a hotmail message, i type for 20 minutes and then the message vanishes. this combined with weird mexican keyboards & mice and slow internet connections has caused me to storm out of several cyber cafes. i was so spoiled by my imac and dsl line at fluid. i know! so i am so sorry i have not

Hello friends, As you may know I am seizing this opportunity after 2 years of working for the man in nyc to take myself traveling! After two wonderful vacations this year in mexico & central america, I want to spend some time poking around & maybe understanding these places a little better. Some of the projects that I will be working on over the next 6 months are: * learn how to make a proper
