Try purslane Mexican-style – Westphoria. Have you brought back a food experience from a trip that gets you excited about a whole new kind of cooking?
That’s what happened to me when I was in Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo, Mexico this spring for Food & Wine’s Food of Mexico festival and learned how Mexicans cook with garden vegetables like purslane, a lemony tasting plant that we’re now growing in the Sunset test garden. After the festival, which was amazing, I joined chef Edgar Navarro of Zi Restaurant at Club Intrawest for a guided tour* through the open-air market in Zihua. He introduced us to a slew of local ingredients, including verdolagas.
Shopping. Brain Pickings. Sunday Planning – design finch. I recently read a statistic that said every minute invested in planning will save you ten minutes down the road.
I can personally attest that not only does a little planning ahead help with time management, but it also saves money and reduces stress. Don’t we all want more help in those areas?
