Breakfast! Fresh squeezed oj and papaya. Life is good.
Today's shopping trip...an almost six pound gallipavo, which is a locally grown chicken, a perfectly ripe papaya, the sweetest carrots you'll ever eat other than the ones you grow yourself, a local cucumber, cilantro just pulled from the ground, serranos, tomatillos. I spent $11 US for all this!
Last night we ate 'fried ribs'. They were 'fried' in orange juice, oregano and garlic...not really fried, but cooked until the juice was almost gone. I cooked green rice, with poblanos, onion and garlic, and frijoles negro. The salsa was delicious: roasted serranos with red onion, lime juice and salt. All this was served with avocado, tomatoes and tortillas and of course plenty of tequilla with lime juice. It was a feast fit for Winter Solstice Eve!
Tonight is the winter solstice, and we will be celebrating, with a large part of the world, the beginning of the longer days. I've only done a little reading about the solstice, but have been aware that there was much cause for celebration among earlier people for the longer days. A annual renewal celebration, the beginning of another season of life. So, to my agrarian friends, Felize Solstice! May your seeds produce a bountiful harvest!
