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.

Du suchst eine Herrenuhr, die Du im Büro tragen kannst.
Eine Uhr, die im Kundengespräch Deine distinguiert elegante Erscheinung unterstreicht, die Schmuck und
funktionaler Zeitanzeiger ist. Eine Uhr, die Seriosität und Professionalität ausstrahlt,
Vertrauen aufbaut und trotzdem nicht von Deiner Kompetenz
ablenkt. Lederarmband oder Metallarmband, was passt da besser?
Holzarmbanduhr oder Schweizer Chronograph?
Seiko, Citizen et alii namhafte Marken haben garantiert die passende Uhr für Dich im Sortiment.
Aber was, wenn Du zum Sport gehst? Für den Sport brauchst Du eine andere Uhr.
Abhängig davon, ob Du segelst, tauchst oder läufst, ob Du schwimmen gehst oder Outdoor-Sport einer anderen Art betreibst, sollte Deine Armbanduhr bestimmte Funktionen erfüllen. Die
elegante Armbanduhr, die Du vormittags im Büro trägst,
ist wahrscheinlich nicht wasserdicht und kann auch nicht reichlich über die Zeit anzuzeigen. Hier
erfährst Du, worauf Du beim Kauf Deiner Uhr achten solltest.
Die Uhr als einziger erlaubter Schmuck des Mannes?
Die Uhr als einziger erlaubter Schmuck des Mannes?
Immer wieder raten Karriereratgeber dazu, dass Männer keinen Schmuck
tragen sollten, dass sie womöglich auch auf die Armbanduhr verzichten sollten.

good results. If you know of any please share. Cheers!
Zusätzlich bestimmt das Kabel die Reichweite – ist es nicht lang genug,
muss der Staubsauger an einer anderen Steckdose angeschlossen werden. Beim Akkusauger treten diese Probleme des Saugens nicht auf.
Er besteht aus einer verstellbaren Saugstange ohne einen sperrigen Korpus und Kabel.
Treppen stellen jeden Bodensauger vor eine Herausforderung.
In beiden Fällen bietet der Akku-Staubsauger mit leichtem tragbarem Korpus mehr Flexibilität und eine einfachere
Handhabung. Bei kabelgebundenen Staubsaugern ist der Saugschlauch zumeist nicht sehr lang,
sodass höher gelegene Stellen nicht oder nur schwer zu erreichen sind.
Wie gut reinigen Akku-Staubsauger den zu saugenden Bereich?
Die Saugleistung der Akku-Staubsauger wird von den kabelgebundenen Bodenstaubsaugern übertroffen. Akku-Staubsauger haben nicht nur Vorteile gegenüber herkömmlichen Bodenstaubsaugern, sondern bringen auch Nachteile mit sich, die hier
gegenübergestellt werden. Kabelgebundene Staubsauger können beliebig lang auf beliebig starkem Saug-Modus instrumentalisiert werden, während die Laufzeit des Akkusaugers a fortiori bei
hoher Saugstufe stark begrenzt ist. Viele Akku-Staubsauger halten im
stärksten Saug-Modus nur wenige Minuten durch.
Manche Modelle haben eine Laufzeit von nur 10 Minuten,
was meist nicht ausreicht, um den gesamten Haushalt zu säubern.
Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to
do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon.

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it
to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.”
She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and
it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
