Honestly, the one and only thing
that I truly missed while living the expat life in various and sundry paradises
around Asia was Mexican Food.
If you have ever known the almighty taco, the eternal
enchilada, and the ever radiant chile relleno than you will fully understand
what I’m talking about.
Here in Southern California we are
blessed with perpetual sunshine, the blue Pacific, and a rich abundance of Comidas
Mexicanas.
Those of us in the esoteric inner circles of aficionados of this cuisine
know that MOLE SAUCE is the holy grail of Mexican food. Done well its rich
spicy chocolate chili flavor is like some kind of orgasm of exotic gourmet ecstasy.
If you are willing to make the
effort to drive into the dark heart of the most unglamorous part of LA then you
will be rewarded with a treasure worthy of the journey. I hope you don’t beat me there and steal my
favorite table, and if you do, the guacamole is on you…
