The here and now... and what and why

Complacency is a trap. At least that’s what I was thinking when I up and left the comfort of a Yankee prep school gig, where I taught music, amongst other things, for 28 years. There was also that life long career as a composer, musician and artist.

First, it was a year in St. Thomas, USVI, working as a reporter and shooting photography and then, a year in San Agustin Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Time passed.
More time passed and a year back in the Athens of America followed by a hasty return to Oaxaca where it is all happening.
A couple of years in San Sebastian Etla and now, just down the road in San Pablo Etla. Life is good.

Food, Glorious Food - Day 2

Another post to either entice you to come or drive you crazy.  It only makes sense to take advantage of all the wonderful culinary offerings at the Encuentro de Cocineras Tradicionales de Oaxaca.... so it was back to the Plaza de la Danza for the second day of this four day event.  Really, there are simply too many choices.  I did sample this wonderful pork with potatoes and mole amarillo.
And I just had to taste this mole amarillo with hongos (mushrooms) from Cuajimoloyas, up in the mountains where they have a big feria de hongos in July.  Mmmm... so good.
These gentlemen roasted pork that people stood in long lines to get.  Totally vale la pena... worth the wait.
Lots of delicious tamales.  They are different in every village.
Empanadas from San Antonino... some of our favorites always.
And sweets from the sweet.  This señorita, like all of the ladies, has been so friendly and warm.
Two more days!!  These cooks want to share their traditional dishes with you. 
Be There or Be Square!
