When in Rome, do as the Romans. Right? During my trip to Oaxaca for Day of the Dead this year, I was lucky to stop by Casa Oaxaca, a local restaurant, catering to foreigners, just off the Andador Turistico, just behind the Iglesia de Santo Domingo.

| Tostada de Gusanos de Maguey, Chapulines, and Chicatanas at Casa Oaxaca. |
For starters, I had to try the most exotic food on their menu. So how about this for an appetizer? It's a large tostada with Maguey worms, Chicatana Ants, and Chapulines (grasshoppers) all toasted along with guacamole, grasshopper sauce, radishes, and other stuff I cannot remember now. I had to try this Oaxacan delicacy. Wow, it was crunchy!

| Tomato Salad at Casa Oaxaca |
Don't worry, I did get my serving of vegetables in a yummy tomato salad with a light vinaigrette. I also indulged in chocolate. Of course, I was in Oaxaca and I had to try everything, and I do mean everything. Needless to say, I broke my plant-based, no sugar, no salt, no dairy diet... I'll leave that for another blog.

I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well. http://www.danielsjewelers.com/service.aspx
