I had a taste—a glimmer—of summer this weekend. Up in Modesto to celebrate our nephew Jack’s fifth birthday, Joe and I also took an afternoon to stop at Mi Pueblo, our favorite Mexican supermarket, to get some lunch fixings. We shopped well, we ate well, we soaked up the sun.
Moss and Mia eating a tortilla fresh off the press in front of a case of pork rinds.
Pig face: To-go.
Chile guajillo (what we use for our beef short rib tacos at Tacolicious).
Fresh chickpeas and spring onions.
Chicken on the grill outside the market. Mmmmmm.
Fresh garbanzo beans, ready to eat: Parboiled for a few minutes, and tossed in chili, salt and lime.
Lunch: Corn tortillas, fresh garbanzo beans, chicken, roasted salsa that Joe made and Sol. Duh.
