Oaxaca-The Year After: Food, glorious food.... Sabores de Oaxaca

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.... Sabores de Oaxaca

Today was the first day of another fabulous culinary extravaganza, Sabores de Oaxaca, in the Plaza de la Danza. Free admission and everything for cash only. There was wonderful food from all the regions in the state. There's a reason Oaxaca is so famous for its traditions and food.

It was not super crowded and everything looked so tasty. This bubbling Sopa de Piedra, the pre-Hispanic fish soup that is cooked by placing hot stones in the liquid. Yum!
