The Mija Chronicles

Mexican food and culture, on both sides of the border

Feliz Año and Happy New Year

January 3, 2011 by Lesley Tellez

I’d originally planned to write this detailed, year-end blog post full of mouthwatering food photos. But then in December, Eat Mexico started booking lots of tours, and I got a few freelance assignments and didn’t have much time to blog. I really only came up for air a few days ago.

So I wanted to tell you: I’m so, so grateful to each of you for reading. And honored that you keep commenting. (Really — the Tlacolula comments made my entire week.) I’m just really glad that I have this space and that you’re a part of it. I hope you have a fantastic 2011, full of peace and good food.

Here is one mouth-watering photo, just to start the year off right. It’s a tlacoyo and a quesadilla de quelite (edible Mexican greens), from a street food stand off Rio Lerma.

Abrazos from el DF!

    Well I am glad that I found you. I just enjoy reading all you have to say and taking your tours at times brings me back to my years working with Mexico.

    Salud, Amor y buen shot the tequila…amiga!

      Thanks so much Norma. And it’s not tequila around here — we do mescal. 🙂

    Glad to hear that your business is doing well. After 2 years in Mexico City, I’m back in the cold Chicago suburbs, paying $1.60 for just one taco al pastor at the nearest taqueria.

    No mames!
