| Mole verde con pollo |
During our stay in Mexico we've been spoiled daily by the delightful menu from the kitchen of Cindy's mom. We captured a few photos of some favourites but in all honesty the menu is an endless supply of delicious family secrets.

| Entomatadas |
One of the most enjoyable aspects of the whole process is venturing out to the markets to gather the ingredients required for each meal. There are always heaps of fresh fruit and vegetables, in addition to chicken, eggs, cheese and more. These markets provide high quality food for a good price, are easy to access and the proceeds go directly to the local farmers that transport their goods into the city.

| Picadillo |
Picadillo. One of my favourite hearty meals. If the family is short on ideas I often volunteer this option. We had a weekly picadillo tradition going until someone other than myself put an end to it. Chale!

| Tacos dorados de carne con caldo de res |
Tacos dorados is another common plate but like everything else it is never perfected to the same degree in restaurants as it is in house. I rarely stop eating these until I've hit double digits.

| La Chef Elena - Cindy's mom |
Finally, the person responsible for the majority of the feasts we've been having. Sra. Elena works fast and fluid. It is easy to get left behind in the kitchen if you don't have your wits about you. She has been a gracious hostess and even let me in on a few of the family's secret recipes. I've also had the opportunity to apprentice under Sr. Andres on occasion. He doesn't have recipes and never makes the same thing twice. Spaghetti Bolandres and 'salsa roja' are among his many specialties.
