The Mija Chronicles

Mexican food and culture, on both sides of the border

Pupusas and rain in Olympia, Washington

April 14, 2009 by Lesley Tellez

I’m headed back to Mexico City tonight, carrying way too much stuff from the U.S. (Among my items: quinoa, coffee beans, maple syrup, strawberry-rhubarb jam, a dish drying rack, an old cookbook of my grandmother’s, a Cadbury cream egg.) Someday I’m not going to buy so much. Promise.

A few snapshots from my trip:

An item I covet from Bed Bath & Beyond. If only I could find it in Mexico for less than $50.
