David and I were talking last week, and considering the global financial markets are all in the crapper, the DOW is at an all time low, and the US dollar is not worth the paper it’s constantly getting printed on, we decided that it might not be a good idea to go on another vacation this year. Sigh…. He also said we’d be entering a severe depression soon and anarchy and mayhem would erupt everywhere like Mad Max and this week we were going to learn how to operate a machine gun so we could defend ourselves when the time came. This part I chose to ignore, because call me stupid, but I have a bit more faith in mankind and my fellow New Yorkers. And besides, my purse is just not big enough for a machine gun. In any case, no vacation doesn’t have to mean no exciting culinary adventurous, especially living in a city as diverse as New York.

Barbacoa (Goat) Taco from Tehuitzingo

I feel like the Internet has been going Mexican crazy the last few weeks. I’ve been reading posts about Mexican food left and right. So last night, right before I went to sleep, I decided to to eat tacos for lunch at Tehuitzingo (Yes, that’s right, I think about lunch right before I go to sleep, I’m not ashamed to admit it.).

Before I left for Tehuitzingo, I checked MenuPages and I knew what I wanted. Pig ear! I mean, I never had pig ear in a taco before, so it just seemed logical. I also got a Barbacoa (Goat) Taco and a Carnitas (Pork) Taco, just for good measure. MORE »

Ham Flavored Potato Chips

I just came back from Menorca, Spain, and after eating cured meats and jamón flavored potato chips everyday for a week, a normal person would probably be sick of ham, but then again I’m a little, er, different. I’ve been craving jamón for days now. Salty, fatty, nutty, I just can’t get enough of it.

Menorca was truly the land of delicious cured meats. Everywhere you went, it was pretty much guaranteed that you would find a ham suspended somewhere. Generic supermarket, check! Restaurant, check! Airport, check! Street market, check! MORE »
