Make Your Guts Beg For Mercy

You will get no quarter from this salsa. It is an unrelenting, smoky burn all the way through. That’s all the way through, mind you, so be prepared. Eat a lot if you are feeling particularly masochistic. 
I do love it though- it keeps me warm in my unheated, drafty, Mexican digs. 
If any one wants, I will gift it to you for Christmas or such occasion as requiring giftables. 

A Guest at the Table


miel es dulce
 pero un arce no es una abeja

Ruler of the back garden.

 A walk down the boulevard suddenly became lunch at this sweet, nay romantic place called La Casa del Desayuno. The plan was to take a walking break and have coffee, but Hugo felt it would be more polite to order food. This is how we met this scavenger, beggar in the garden- who I named Pseudo Miel because the server gave me maple syrup instead of honey and afterward I learned that you have to be specific which one you want; as miel is short for both kinds of viscus sweeteners.
I was actually finding myself almost falling for the little scrapper. It was bold went it had to be and desirous of a friendly hand instead of being kicked away all the time. Our server invited us to take the cat, but it belonged to the neighbor and I don’t think the dogs at the house would take kindly to a new creature around- especially one that isn’t a dog.
I will visit La Casa again and maybe see this little guy begging… throw an egg bit or two down…

Ick. Don’t climb on me. I don’t know where you have been. -tm

Still wanting mas huevos.

The romantic chaos of a garden!
