BBQ'ing in the Middle of Winter...

Red Hook Food Vendors

While Y. E. Yang was busy beating Tiger Woods at the PGA Championship, we were busy reminiscing about our Mexico trip last year and how much we enjoyed the local cuisine there. This brought us to the "Red Hook Vendors" where we enjoyed authentic tacos, pupusas, and every other kind of pan-latino cuisine you could imagine -- as we cheered on local fútbol (soccer) teams.

Not Taco Bell!

Real Mexican food from the homes and streets of Mexico City and Guadalajara...

Chilaquiles verdes:
Huevos en salsa pasilla:
Love how the chorizo is mixed in with the egg:

Enchiladas:

Tamales and flautas... good at any time of day!

A hole in the wall in Ajijic had the best barbacoa tacos:

The mercado had amazing blue-corn gorditas:

Fish tacos... from the streets of Guadalajara... (check out the arsenal of hot sauces!):

Arrachera a la parilla. Absolutely the juiciest flank steak we've ever had: Not to be outdone was the plato jarocho with sopa de nopales (cactus soup):

Once in a while we had to take a break from all the meat with a refreshing licuado:

And sip fine tequila...

A great pairing with Mexican food is the Indio (lighter) and Bohemia (darker) beer:

And of course, Negra Modelo:

Even a light dinner usually consisted of tacos dorados (crispy fried tacos). Ensalada is totally optional :-D

Tacos dorados, here from a street vendor in Lake Chapala:

Tacos dorados, from a restaurant in Chapala...

...with an order of plump & delicious shrimps!

The ultimate in comfort food: the pozole (verde pictured):

A gelatin dessert is light and refreshing after a big meal...

(or you may prefer the grilled corn with a hint of salsa and lime :-)

We heart icecream!

A little warning: Mexican donuts are extremely sweet!

Tacos are everywhere... check out the adorable ceramic tacos from the mercado:

Of course, we had to pick up one of these tortilla presses (a must for an authentic Mexican meal... can't wait to try it out at home!)

More pictures to come!

First Fried Egg

When you're in love, you're willing to try anything... Even frying an egg when you are pro-scrambled. What have you done for your Sweetie lately?
