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.

Pretty! This has been a really wonderful article.
Many thanks for supplying this info.
After I originally commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on each time a comment is added
I get four emails with the exact same comment. Perhaps there
is an easy method you are able to remove me from that service?
Cheers!
I have read some good stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking
for revisiting. I surprise how much effort you set to
create any such magnificent informative website.
Hey there! I understand this is kind of off-topic however I
needed to ask. Does running a well-established website such as
yours take a large amount of work? I’m completely new to operating a blog but
I do write in my diary on a daily basis. I’d like to start a blog
so I will be able to share my personal experience and thoughts online.
Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.
Thankyou!

Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon on a daily basis.
It’s always exciting to read through content from other writers and use something from
their websites.
Quality articles is the crucial to be a focus for the people to pay a visit the web page, that’s what this web page is providing.
Thanks for finally talking about > Mexican Food – Bryanna Vs The World < Liked it!
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely 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 not enough
men and women are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy I found
this during my hunt for something concerning this.
great put up, very informative. I ponder why the other experts of this sector don’t notice
this. You must proceed your writing. I am sure, you’ve a great readers’ base
already!
This web site really has all the info I needed about this subject and didn’t know who to
ask.
I’d like to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in penning this site.

as well. In truth, your creative writing abilities has inspired
me to get my own blog now 😉

I don’t know who you are but certainly you are going to
a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!
What a data of un-ambiguity and preserveness of precious knowledge
about unpredicted emotions.
I believe what you typed was actually very reasonable.
But, what about this? what if you added a little content? I
mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added
a headline to maybe grab people’s attention? I mean Mexican Food – Bryanna Vs The World is a little
vanilla. You should glance at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create news headlines to grab viewers to open the
links. You might add a related video or a pic or
two to grab people interested about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it could make your blog
a little bit more interesting.
What i don’t realize is in truth how you’re now
not really a lot more smartly-favored than you may be right now.
You are very intelligent. You understand thus considerably in relation to this topic, produced
me for my part believe it from so many various angles.
Its like women and men don’t seem to be interested except
it is one thing to accomplish with Woman gaga! Your own stuffs excellent.
Always care for it up!
I do not know if it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else experiencing
issues with your site. It appears as though some of the text within your
content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know
if this is happening to them too? This might be a problem
with my browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Kudos

in writing this site. I really hope to view the same high-grade
blog posts by you later on as well. In fact, your creative writing abilities has encouraged me to
get my own blog now 😉
