Ten Reasons I Wish I Were Mexican (especially in the fall)
1. Slices of pork loin, battered and deep fried.
2. Banda Sinaloense music
3. Guacamole
4. Pork rinds simmered in Salsa Verde
5. Paletas michoacanas
6. Mexican chocolate
7. Bullfights with picadores
8. Chorizqueso
9. German-style beer with lime
10. Norteno music
In other words, I am completely and utterly overdue for a trip South. At this point even a weekend in Tecate would be good. Probably won't happen until next year, though. Grrr.
Meanwhile I have some chicharrones simmering...

Not tonight, though. Tonight I must make smoked bird and radicchio risotto with roasted pumpkin and chestnuts on the side.
