I'm guessing this recipe calls for Spanish chorizo since it states to "cook until chorizo is crisp" which wouldn't work with Mexican chorizo.

I prefer the Italian eggplants over the globe eggplant since they seem to have less water. I wonder how the Japanese or Filipino eggplants would taste in this recipe. Anyone tried it?

Beef cheek tacos are delicious.

Hola. Me llamo Maria. My mom is from Spain so I grew up eating fried sardines, tomato salads, lentils and garlic sauteed spinach with fried eggs. I remember in elementary school returning home from a friend's house describing my meal of corndogs with mustard and begging my mom to buy them. Luckily, my mom only gave in occasionally to my tater-tot-esque cravings. I live in San Diego where I am a teacher. I enjoy experimenting with ingredients that are foreign to me as well cooking the familiar foods of my childhood. Today I just discovered birria -a Mexican stew. How could something so delicious have escaped me until now? Currently I am lusting for cherimoyas but I'm not sure when they will return to the farmer's market.

I am disappointed to read this charming article about a couple who had Nazi sympathies. The British government was opposed to Wallis' pro Nazi attitude as much as being a divorcee. I know this is a food blog but if you are going to print articles about historical figures, please don't romanticize them.

Black licorice and milk! As a kid, I loved to bite the ends off the licorice end use it as a straw in my milk.
