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
ReplyDeletelapis lazuli jewelry
ReplyDeleteThis precious stone is many times linked to mindful attributes following its spiritual appeal
and mitigating mineral composition. Lapis Lazuli jewelry in ancient times was considered
as the ornaments of heavenly priests or royal families. For a very long period, this extra-
ordinary stone has adorned the ceremonial dresses, jewelry, dyes, makeup and crowns of
Egyptian royalty. Lapis has an intense blue color, which varies in shades, depending on
the regions of its extractions. Other than blue, it holds the patches of serene white and
golden pyrite.
