What to Eat in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Eating in Mexico can be a bit tricky.

First you have got to know where to go and to know where to go you have to know someone who knows!  Second, don't be afraid to eat stuff.

1.  My morning ritual for the best tamales in the city.
Tamale Stand
2.  Then I'd pick up a smoothie which was down the street from the tamale stand and next to Luna de Queso Deli.  Oh and right next to Luna de Queso is a bakery place to get awesome bread!  You would miss it if I didn't tell you.
ANYWAY,
I was kind of freaking out watching him put fresh banana, and then papaya, but then came the frozen strawberries!  OMG!!!  Am I going to get sick?  But my friend said not to worry.  This is a good place to get your smoothie.  Okay surrrrre.

3.  THEN we had a great meal at Diablo Panzon.
Great service, food, atmosphere, and wine.  
It was here that I was introduced to my first Malbec wine.  Nice!
You must go here if you get a chance.

4.  Of course we had to go to La Mesa Grande for our pizza and say hi to old friends.
Look at that pizza!
Mmmmm...
See my thumb ring?  hehehehe

5.  The Organic Place
This was not as good as last year.  The service was okay and the prices were a bit high but worth checking out at least once.  
They grow most of their food on site and the bathroom is COOL!



6.  Rincon Guanajuato
Very impressed with their chesseburger and fries.
There's me an Jesse chatting it up.  :)

7.  MX
Very upscale restaurant.
Located inside and outside on top so you can see the beautiful La Parroquia.
The service was great but I didn't enjoy the food as much but Sam and Jesse did.
Painting located at the bottom part of the restaurant as you enter.  I LIKE it!
Maybe I can paint something like this in mi casa!

8.  Home Cooked Meals
We cooked a lot because one, I didn't want Sam to get sick before his big UTMB run in France, and two, because sitting down with friends and making a meal together is just down right nice and relaxing.
That's our good friend Jesse, and his parents.


That's me whipping up some Chicken Panang Curry for mi amigos.  We decided that they needed to taste some authentic Thai food.  
Thanks mom for teaching me how to cook my favorite Thai foods!
Me, Jesse, and Raco

And if you find yourself in the desert well...you can always forage!
Especially if tuna is in season but watch out for them itty bitty thorns.  
Those little red, pinkish things are the fruit and you don't even have to treat them with iodine first!
Tunas!

Now doesn't that just look obscene?!!!
Obscene I tell ya!

Well, that about covers it.  
All the places that we ate at this year.  
Mostly located in the neighborhood of Colonia Allende.

A big muchas gracias to mi amore Sam for taking all the pictures.  That is why you don't see him in any of them but I did manage to get a few.  Muwah!!!
I love this guy!

Here's to a great Friday and weekend.

The Risk to Bloom

It all started with an acorn button and grew from there. In an earlier post I mentioned this button swap blog hop, that I am participating in, and how I was immediately drawn to the acorn button.  Every day I would hold it in my hand, feel its essence, exam it, and then put it down.  This lasted for about 2 weeks. Then I remembered I had etched an oak tree on to brass when making buttons for my partner Kylie of Lotus Out Loud .  And... so begins the journey of creating something with this wonderful acorn button, which only started yesterday. Haha!  Etched brass was copper riveted to a piece of oak.  Merci beaucoup Papi for finding some oak!   I am using what Jesse taught me in his workshop .  It was the first time trying his technique.  It worked beautifully! The riveted brass was then captured with a piece of pierced copper. Voila! And then the day came  when the risk to remain tight in...

Pepe Jump Ring Maker...New Is Not Always Better...

For the follow up (2014) on jump ring makers go here . Introducing Pepe's new AND improved Jump Ring maker... When I received my new jump ring maker I knew the new model was more compact but did not expect it to be so unstable.  It was precarious but I accepted it.  After all I will have jump rings galore with a single swipe!  The outcome outweighed the little difference and yes...I am lazy!  hahaha!!! To the bench I go to test things out. Test No. 1 The first set of jump rings turned out great!  I was satisfied.   ☺ I then received an email saying that the top plate (cover) that came with the system was too thick and needed to be replaced.  Okay.   I receive the new plate but did not test it out until some friends were over and wanted a demo.  Well...it was difficult to place the handpiece collar over the plate.  It did not fit over the coil holding device very well.  I had to finagle it to go in ...

Wabi-Sabiness

Hola everyone! New Orleans is hunkering down because we are about to get "Wintry Mix".  Whatever that means and in south Louisiana we just do not know how to drive on ice and so great havoc ensues.  The city has decided to shut down.  I know...it's some crazy stuff down here! Anyways... my mother saw some stacking rings I made a couple of weeks ago and requested a set.  So I sat in my studio and thought about texture and a word I wanted to inscribe.  I meditated, sitting there in my chair, and spinning myself in circles until I got dizzy and had to stop.  Oh wait...I digress. Back to the subject. My mind has been preoccupied with wabi-sabi lately and I thought that this is just befitting.  My mom is totally sabi!!! I inscribed the word sabi inside of the silver ring and thus began my journey. Sabi means (in the most simplistic definition)  the beauty or serenity that comes with age, when the life of the object and its impe...
