30 days: day 17


It´s how I like to eat every day here. I make chicken tostadas three or four times a week. The cheese is chihuahua which is somewhat similar to the mild French Auvergne cheese, St. Nectaire, or I guess in American cheese talk close to montery jack. It´s my favorite so far.

And then of course I pile on lots of lime and guacamole or pico de gallo, for dressing everything up. On the side, in a frosted mug a Coronita --yes, you heard right...a baby Corona in Mexico is marketed as a Coronita. I squeeze a little lime juice in it, not too much but just enough to add some tang and there´s my little evening meal.

By the way did you know that in Mexico no one drinks Corona with a lime. It´s odd because limes are served with everything here but not beer. I am so used to drinking it this way that I have to ask for a lime when I get served one and they give me the funniest look.

Mmmmm! That looks delicious. I love Mexican food. Mainly for the guacamole.

He likes avocados a lot but you know that changes from day to day. I always laugh when people brag that their baby under age three "eats everything" and I think..."oh just you wait!" He used to each raw spinach! At around 2 and a half it all changed.
