While the environment was lush, the buildings gorgeous, the people friendly, and the food amazing, there was a lot of creepiness I encountered on my recent trip to Mexico that I just have to share. I give you these examples:
 |
| Chapulines. Grasshoppers sauteed in garlic and oil. Only creepy when I was picking legs out of my teeth. |
 |
| Agave plants. Very cool. Only creepy in that they look a bit of aliens that have descended from space in front of this Baroque church in order to hatch or suck our soil of nutrients. |
 |
| A very tasty fruit called Granada China. Only creepy because it looks like a brain-slug and you eat it like you're doing a shot. |
 |
| An art project? A mummy parade? I actually can't think of what's NOT creepy about this. |

I heard that in places in Mexico, women wear live bejeweled bugs on their blouses as ornamentation and that there is actually a market for portraits done of your baby on Jesus's lap. And I'll leave the creepy image of the pornographic skeleton figures to your imagination.

Monte again! All of those pics were cool, except for the zombie parade. Yikes!

1.We wash the spinach, then finely cut it.
2.We cut the leeks in round pieces.
3.We mix leeks and spinach, pour salt in them and mix and them put aside.
4.Ten minutes later, we squeeze them until their juices are removed.
5.In the meantime, we pour the flour in a pot, add some salt and water, and create a mush.
6.We add the cheese and stir well.
7.We butter a baking pan and spread half of our mush on the bottom of it, with a spoon.
8.We spread the vegetables on top of the mixture.
9.We smear with olive oil and spread the rest of the mush on top of that, making sure the vegetables are properly covered.
10.We pour olive oil on the surface and bake at 200°C, until it gets a rosy colour.
11.We serve it hot.
It goes great with yoghurt.
