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 issues altogether, you just won a brand

Amazing! Its really amazing post, I have got much clear idea regarding from this piece of writing.

Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic but I
was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues
with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another
platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the
direction of a good platform.
I am in fact happy to glance at this weblog posts which consists of tons of valuable
facts, thanks for providing such information.
Systematische Navigation, eine App und Ausmaß gute Amazon Bewertungen. Tesvor arbeitet aktuell
daran ihr Sortiment auszubauen. Leider hat der X500 keine Gelegenheit auslassen Schwächen in unserem Roboter Staubsauger Test gezeigt.
Boris und ich sind mit null Erwartungen an den 150 Euro billigen Robo
gegangen. Der Medion MD18500 ist oft auch als Aldi Saugroboter bekannt.
Lustigerweise war das, war wir gesehen haben, sogar recht ordentlich.
Ungewöhnlich einen Raum aufeinander folgend sollten Sie dem Medion Saugroboter zwar nicht
zutrauen. Der Robovac 11s von Eufy geht gerade einfach nur durch die Decke.
Aber hey, zeigen Sie mir ein Modell für 150
Euro, das besser ist. Wir waren wirklich absolut gehyped auf den Roboter und haben sogar extra auf
das Upgrade – den Eufy Robovac 11s Max – gewartet.
Wir konnten den Hype nimmerdar verstehen. Und was
soll ich sagen? Der Roboter fährt im Chaos Modus, besitzt
keine App und reinigt ok.
Very good blog you have here but I was curious about
if you knew of any message boards that cover

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the
nail on the head. The problem is something that not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about.
I am very happy that I found this during my hunt for something regarding this.
excellent points altogether, you simply gained a new reader.

Any certain?
I really like what you guys tend to be up too.
This sort of clever work and reporting! Keep up the great works guys I’ve
incorporated you guys to our blogroll.
I got this site from my friend who informed me concerning this website
and at the moment this time I am visiting this website
and reading very informative content here.
Very shortly this web page will be famous amid all blogging people, due to it’s good articles or reviews
I don’t even know the way I ended up right here,
but I assumed this put up used to be great. I don’t know who you are but
definitely you are going to a famous blogger if you happen to are
not already. Cheers!
First of all I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question that I’d
like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how
you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure
out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Appreciate it!
I read this article fully on the topic of the comparison of latest
and earlier technologies, it’s remarkable article.
This design is wicked! You definitely know how to keep a reader entertained.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost
moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job.
I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that,
how you presented it. Too cool!
I am actually thankful to the owner of this website who
has shared this wonderful article at here.
Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it
up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing.
Do you have any suggestions for novice blog writers?
I’d certainly appreciate it.
This paragraph is truly a nice one it assists new net viewers,
who are wishing for blogging.
Have you ever thought about creating an e-book or guest authoring on other websites?
I have a blog based upon on the same topics you discuss
and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my readers would value your
work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an email.
Superb site you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any message
boards that cover the same topics discussed here? I’d really love
to be a part of online community where I can get responses
from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Many thanks!
Does your website have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d like to
send you an email. I’ve got some suggestions for your blog you might be interested in hearing.
Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.
Hi, I wish for to subscribe for this webpage to get newest updates,
therefore where can i do it please help out.
You should take part in a contest for one of the highest quality sites on the net.
I most certainly will highly recommend this web site!
I go to see daily some blogs and blogs to read posts, but this website offers feature based articles.
Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and
I’m looking for something unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
What you posted was actually very reasonable.
However, what about this? what if you added a little information? I am not saying your
content is not good., but what if you added a post title that
makes people desire more? I mean Mexican Food –
Bryanna Vs The World is a little boring. You should look
at Yahoo’s home page and note how they write news headlines
to grab viewers interested. You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab readers excited
about what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it could make your blog a little bit more interesting.
Greetings! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers
and I’m looking at options for another platform.
I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
For most up-to-date information you have to go
to see world-wide-web and on world-wide-web I found this website as a most excellent site for most
recent updates.
I don’t even understand how I stopped up right here, however I assumed this publish was
once great. I do not recognize who you are but definitely you
are going to a well-known blogger if you happen to aren’t already.
Cheers!
Good way of explaining, and good article to obtain data about my presentation subject matter, which i am
going to deliver in university.
We are a group of volunteers and starting a new scheme in our community.
Your web site offered us with valuable info to work on. You’ve done a
formidable job and our whole community will be grateful
to you.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting
my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup?
I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any
recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
bookmarked!!, I love your website!
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and engaging, and let
me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too few people
are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy I came across this during my search
for something relating to this.
This website was… how do I say it? Relevant!!
Finally I’ve found something that helped me. Thank you!
Thanks very interesting blog!
A fascinating discussion is worth comment. There’s no doubt that that you need to write more about this
subject, it may not be a taboo subject but generally people do not discuss these issues.
To the next! Cheers!!
Hey there superb blog! Does running a blog similar to this require a lot of work?
I’ve virtually no understanding of coding however I was hoping to start my
own blog in the near future. Anyways, should you have any recommendations or tips
for new blog owners please share. I understand this is off topic however
I simply needed to ask. Kudos!
Every weekend i used to visit this site, for the reason that i want enjoyment,
