Hey fellow adventurers! For this post, I made breakfast, dinner, a snack and a dessert. However, I wanted to make food that I haven’t had before. Living in San Diego though, Mexican food is basically a part of my weekly diet. Like in the past, I’ll talk about proper etiquette and then share what food I made.
When dining at someone’s house, wait for the host or hostess to seat you. The most honored position is at the head of the table, with the most important guest seated immediately to the right of the host. Men sit to the right of the hostess and women sit to the right of the host. The meal doesn’t start until the host says “Buen provecho!” (the Spanish equivalent of “Bon appetite!”). When dining with utensils, never switch hands. The fork remains in your left hand, and the knife remains in your right hand. When not holding utensils, your hands are expected to be visible above the table: rather than placing your hands on your lap, rest your wrists on top of the table (never your elbows). When passing food around the table, always pass food to the left. When eating salad, don’t cut it, fold it with your knife and fork into a bundle that can be picked up with your fork. If you’re dining at a restaurant, the one who invites is typically the one that pays the bill. It’s also customary to leave a 10% tip for the waiter or waitress. Finally, it’s rude to leave the table before everyone has finished eating.
All these dishes I ate with my husband and my parents at my parents’ house. For breakfast, I made chilaquiles, a traditional Mexican dish that has strips of fried corn tortillas simmered in salsa as the base, and served with cheese, eggs, and/or beans. We made ours with only cheese and eggs but next time I want to add beans too. Surprisingly, the taste of the tortillas overpowered everything else. Although that’s not a bad thing, next time I make these, I plan on adding more flavor. Also, we decided to tweak the recipe to make it a bit more healthy by baking the tortillas rather than frying them in oil. We want to try to stay as true to the recipe as possible but all of us are trying to watch our weight. Also, since I’m so bad with spice, I put sour cream on mine rather than the hot salsa like the rest of my family.
A popular, quick and easy to make snack in Mexico is fresas con crema, made with cream and strawberries. It’s very creamy and delicious! I love strawberries and I love milk so this snack/dessert was right up my alley! If you love strawberries, I highly recommend trying this! It only takes a few minutes to make.
We started dinner with an appetizer: tortilla chips, spicy carrots and beer, just like they do at Mexican restaurants. We did this while waiting for the food to cook. It was a good way to start the meal!
For dinner, I made ceviche tostadas, pozole soup and aqua fresca. The ceviche I bought from a local farmer’s market rather than trying to make it myself though. I followed the recipe for the sauce to put over the ceviche and how to crisp up the tortillas. Once again, we ended up putting them in the oven rather than frying them in oil. Once again, I was worried about spice so I put sour cream on mine rather than the baja sauce. They were amazing! Definitely would have again! Though next time, I would put the tortillas in for longer cause they weren’t as crispy as I wanted. The pozole soup was amazing too! We didn’t have veggie stock so I used potato soup instead. It’s a bit spicy but if you’re bad with spice like me, you can always pair it with a starch like rice, pasta or potatoes to spread out the spice. And to drink, we had mango lime aqua fresca. I don’t think I would make it too often but it was pretty good. It tasted like watered down juice.
Finally for dessert, we had très leches, a sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. The recipe we used had us make too much milk but it was phenomenal! My husband took the leftovers to work and it was a big hit there too! I recommend this cake for special occasions, or even just cause! Just try it!
My parents brought out dessert tequila to go with the très leches cake. It’s delicious! I’ll definitely buy this sometime, and I recommend it to anyone who loves tequila.

Great blog here! Also your website loads up very fast!
What web host are you using? Can I get your affiliate link to your host?
I wish my website loaded up as quickly as yours lol
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally,
it seems as though you relied on the video to make your
point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just
posting videos to your site when you could be giving
us something informative to read?
Hey there just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading properly.
I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers
and both show the same outcome.
I truly love your site.. Very nice colors & theme.
Did you make this amazing site yourself? Please reply back
as I’m trying to create my own personal website and want to learn where you got this from
or what the theme is called. Cheers!
Thank you for another excellent article. The place else could anybody get that kind
of info in such an ideal means of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am at the search for such info.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this
matter to be really something which I think I would
never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
Hi, i think that i noticed you visited my web site thus i came to return the favor?.I’m
attempting to to find things to enhance my website!I suppose
its ok to make use of a few of your ideas!!
hello!,I love your writing so a lot! proportion we keep up a correspondence more about your article
on AOL? I require an expert in this house to resolve my problem.
Maybe that’s you! Having a look forward to peer you.
Wow, that’s what I was looking for, what a stuff!
present here at this weblog, thanks admin of this site.
I’m not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading extremely slow for
me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end?
I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
Asking questions are genuinely nice thing if you are not understanding anything
totally, however this post gives good understanding yet.
I think what you published made a lot of sense. But, think on this,
suppose you wrote a catchier post title? I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to
run your website, but what if you added a post title that
makes people want more? I mean Mexican Food – Bryanna
Vs The World is kinda boring. You should glance at Yahoo’s
home page and watch how they create news titles to grab viewers interested.
You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab readers excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it might
bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
Valuable information. Fortunate me I discovered your website by chance, and I am stunned why this accident did
not came about in advance! I bookmarked it.
First of all I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t
mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior
to writing. I’ve had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.
I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems
like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out how to
begin. Any ideas or hints? Thank you!
Hi, I do think this is a great web site. I stumbledupon it 😉 I will come back yet again since i have book marked it.
Money and freedom is the best way to change, may

I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I’ve had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the
first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?
Thanks!
I’ve learn a few good stuff here. Certainly value bookmarking
for revisiting. I wonder how so much attempt you set to create
any such excellent informative website.
This paragraph is actually a pleasant one it helps new internet
users, who are wishing for blogging.
This website really has all of the info I wanted about this subject and didn’t
know who to ask.
Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five
foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views.
I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Is this a paid subject or did you modify it yourself?

to see a great blog like this one nowadays..
