Bienvenidos!
Since this week on the 16th is Mexican Independence Day , I wanted to share a few of my favorite things.
Pan Dulce (Mexican pastry), is always a special treat for me and my family. It’s tasty and colorful.
I remember my mom sending my dad to buy some if she knew that we were having company.
Then we have menudo which is a soup made from tripe and hominy, it’s another favorite of mine, but many people get turned off because of the tripe.
Mexican pottery is something I collect. I especially like Talavera and vintage pottery. This blue nesting set of bowls was found at an estate sale and is vintage.
These bowls are hard to find and when you do find them, they can be quite pricey. This set was a great deal.
My favorite pottery is the Talavera. I love the blue and yellow, but I also have a red piece.
Even though I am a very Americanized Mexican, I do try to keep the traditions going for my children and grandchildren. It’s so important not to forget your heritage and be proud of it as well.♥♥♥♥

I love cheese cake, too. (especially with fresh strawberries) This weekend is my future son-in-law’s birthday and I’m working out extra this week to go out for Mexican food and to eat a cup cake! Yum!

We love pan dulce! My daughter’s ask for it anytime we go drive to Fort Wayne, Indiana. That’s the only place we know of that makes the most delicious moyetes (spelling on that please..lol). Thanks for sharing your picture’s.

Had not heard of this word, I had to use my Spanish dictionary. I found the word mollete, a small loaf made from the finest flour.

I remember at school eating the most amazing white fish (I thought it was fish) and thinking it was the most tasty thing. Then someone said oh it’s tripe! I love tripe. I bet that soup tastes delicious.
I love the pottery designs. It reminds me of some of the craft work on the old narrow boats on our canals. It’s good luck to keep the original decorations of the boat in place, which is great too as it preserves the art. I agree with you, it’s important to keep our culture in the here and now.
Hope all is good.

Makes me happy that you like tripe, because many get turned off by it. Thanks for stopping by.
