Life is Uncertain - - Eat Dessert First!

One of the many things we love about Mexico is the food.  Wonderful, flavourful dishes, warm spices and exotic colours make for the very best in eats!  We have not had the opportunity to sample the huge assortment of the local restaurants yet, but the few times we have, it was delightful!  The markets give way to a huge assortment of fresh veggies - some of which you simply cannot recognize.  Shopping for food is an everyday occurrence.  Heading to the market to buy the days freshest produce, meats and freshly caught fish  becomes a regular part of daily living.  How wonderful it will be in mid January to eat freshly picked veggies and fruit  - no more canned corn - yippee!
  Anyone who knows me, knows I love to cook.  I pride myself at being pretty good at it. Our Son Tyler and his girlfriend Jess bought me a really great Mexican Cookbook this past Christmas.  I'm excited to perfect a few special dishes in advance of their first visit.  Hey, maybe part of Ty's plan?
A very popular custom in Mexico is to have your large meal of the day at midday instead of in the evening.
This is called "Comida."  Comida is usually accompanied by a nice cool margarita, followed by a siesta!
Works for us!
The Mexicans LOVE their desserts.  Sweets are an everyday pleasure - the little corner bakeries are full of homemade cakes, cookies and pastries.  Greg, Mr. Sweet Tooth himself, walks past with glazed eyes and an ear to ear smile.   And to my Sister - " Sandy, you're going to love this place!"
