Chorizo Almendrado
As a trained lifetime recreational eater as opposed to a refueler (you know the type), I like to eat, drink, record recipes for food I enjoy, and poke fun at food pretension.
A chorizo is a fat spicy Mexican pork sausage. There are many variations to the spicing mix. Most feature a lot of paprika.
When we were living in Ciudad de Guanajuato, Alice taught English to school teachers in the nearby city of Silao. During that time, we had an opportunity to get to know that beautiful city. It is about the same size as Guanajuato, around 150,000 people, but there are some major differences.

Street Art I
In Mexico there is a great tradition of Institutional Public Art heroic bronzes, massive bas relief works, large scale frescoes and many other “permanent” art forms.
There is also a deep vein of anarchical art, more ephemeral in nature—chalk or flowers on the sidewalks, paper maché, cheap house paint, collage and glue. Most is only one good rain away from oblivion. This art form is expressive and shuns the idea of “precious art.” Often political making social comment or celebrating Mexico’s sense of libertarian personal freedom. This is a peek at the art form, Ellinikó Street Art.
