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.

You can find my music on Jango (World & latin - Worldbeat) and at iTunes and most online stores.

This is so Oaxacan..... huitlacoche

Just back from the tiny Weds market just down the road from me with these little taste treats.  What are they?  Corn smut, fungus, Mexican truffle or, as they are known and loved here, huitlacoche, from the Nahuatl... and they are a real delicacy.  
They can be eaten as is, but I plan to make an omelette using the fresh eggs from my neighbor's chickens, some onions and quesillo.  These are so fresh with such a subtle mushroomy taste.  All these Mexican truffles for just under $1 US... and they are quite healthy, too. .  ¡Viva huitlacoche!
