Fun bit I wanted to share about me: One of my favorite foods is "Chicharron en Salsa Verde" (Cracklins marinated in sauce) and I love to gross out my mom with it. Whenever I go buy some I always tell my mom "I'm gonna go chow down on some Moist Skin"

No te conozco pero sé que...

Eres zurda,

querías ser actriz,

tu banda favorita era Blink 182;

luego fue The Neighbourhood,

aunque no habláramos vi que fuiste a su concierto,

sabía que te hacía ilusión y me alegró,

tu animal favorito son los gatos,

hasta donde sé,

tenías un gato blanco,

me comentaste que tus vecinos lo odiaban,

tu odiabas a tus vecinos por eso,

eres Tauro,

aunque no por eso te encantan las vacas,

y los terneros,

te gustan los vestidos,

te gustan los vestidos de flores,

te graduaste con un vestido de flores,

te gustan las flores,

tu flor favorita es el tulipan,

quieres unos tulipanes azules,

pero los tulipanes azules son artificiales,

aunque tu color favorito es el verde,

te gusta pintar con marcadores,

te gusta pintarte las uñas de colores oscuros,

te da ansiedad y te quitas el esmalte de uñas,

tienes manos hermosas,

siempre tienes frío,

te gustaba que te calentara las manos,

tu ex te boto, rompió o quemó unos guantes que te regalé,

todo el tiempo te daba parálisis del sueño,

una vez le pegaste a ese hpta cuando tuviste una parálisis,

jajaja eso me alegra,

yo sí odio a tu ex tóxico,

porque te trató de una manera horrible,

y porque me arruino una oportunidad de ser feliz,

lo odio casi tanto como tu odias el tomate de árbol,

tu jugo favorito es el de maracuyá,

tu anterior mascota se llamaba Mara,

te encantaba ponerle nombre de frutas a los animales,

¿por qué Milo?

a Mara la adoptaste porque no la querían,

te ponías mal cada que se irritaba la piel,

la tuviste que dejar en Santander,

me dices que allá no se enferma tan fácil,

además que tuvo cachorros,

amas las empanadas,

y las empanadas con salsa de piña,

viviste en suba,

luego en la cali con 80,

tuviste miedo porque en un mal momento pensaste que te mudarías al sur de la ciudad a una casa que tu familia tiene allá,

y ahora vives cerca a donde yo vivía,

te gusta robar(me) ropa,

quitarme los gorros,

tienes un montón de fotos con mis gorros,

también con mis sacos,

amabas ir a Santander,

pero odiabas a tu abuelo,

nunca me dijiste porque,

no te juzgo,

siempre creí saber porque,

si es eso yo también lo odiaría,

hace poco me entere que te gustan los chicharrones de cujada,

pero también te gustan las gomitas,

nos gustan las gomitas,

en la universidad cuando estabamos juntos comíamos gomitas todo el tiempo,

tienes quistes,

siempre te quejabas del dolor,

el doctor te dijo que podías operarte y ponerte prótesis o ser madre,

nunca te operarias los senos,

una de las razones por las que querías ser madre joven,

soñabas con ser mamá a los 25,

aún con un hijo sigues sintiendo dolor,

tu mamá también sufre de eso,

me habías dicho que le dio cancer de seno,

lloraste por primera vez frente a mí,

lo creas o no a mi también me dolió, tu mamá ha sido un amor conmigo,

todo el tiempo te llama 'Karen',

y tú odias el 'Karen',

y odias a una Karen,

eres una chica super amorosa cuando quieres,

en la universidad te creías la verga con tu Blackberry,

Pero aún no te conozco.

Chicharrones and salsa Verde with some jalapeño sauce

[fairyw1ngs]

my coworker makes me chicharrones en salsa verde every week and I don't have the heart to tell him that I don't want it anymore...I can only eat it once in a while 😭😭

[reidsbookclub]

I believe the only people that will understand this are my latino/Hispanic (or just the Mexicans 🤣) people but damn do I miss chicharrones in salsa verde

[axwalker]

I’ve wanted to brighten up peoples day and to ask what’s your MC / OC favorite dish/snack?

Thanks 😍

Just seeing your name in my asks brightens my day hon! Thank you for the ask @peonierose

I’m on a sort of a hiatus but I loved answering this.

Here goes:

Drake x Lexie O'Brien

They’re both great eaters but Lexie will taste anything (one of her favorites are her abuelita’s escamoles which are basically ants’ eggs) whereas Drake has his limits.  They’re both very good cooks but Drake is one of those people who cleans as he works, and when Lexie cooks the kitchen resembles a war zone. 

Lexie’s comfort food: Flamingo hot Cheetos, Mexican Elotes (extra spicy, extra mayo), and tacos de carnitas with salsa verde and chicharron (though no one makes them as her Abuelita did). After she met Drake, his chocolate cake became her favorite sweet treat. For date night, she always asks Drake to cook his kleftiko (roasted lamb with potatoes). She’s crazy about it. 

Favorite beverage: Guinness beer and a good glass of Tullamore Dew 12 years. (her grandpa from her father's side taught her to appreciate both)

I know a lot of people see Drake as Texan but I see him more as a Mediterranean guy with an American parent (one he’s not even close to), so I canon he loves greek and Italian food the most. When Bianca left he was forced to learn how to cook for him and his little sister, Bastien was more of a take-out kind of parent.  His specialties include gyros, kleftika, keftedes (Savvie’s favorite), and the chocolate cake he learned how to make from scratch for Savannah’s 11th birthday. 

Now that he’s married, he’s crazy about Mexican food. Even if he has to spend hours cleaning the kitchen after Hurricane Alexis cooked. His favorite are her Enchiladas de pollo con mole, and the Elotes she prepares with her abuelita’s recipe. 

Drake's favorite drink: a cold IPA or a Macallan's 18 Year Sherry Oak Cask (but he conforms with a 12-year).

Liam is tired of them bickering about which whiskey is better: the Scotch or the Irish (but he agrees with Drake, nothing better than a well-aged Macallan)

I had a lot of fun answering this! Thank you ;-)

Special Note: Conservas

The WSJ did an article recently on conservas  – tinned seafood from Spain or Portugal – that sent us down a delicious rathole.

We’ve been doing taste tests of the endless varieties – bonito del norte ventresca (white tuna belly), bluefin ventresca, bonito del norte lomo laminado, squid, octopus, anchoves, sardines, mackerel, trout, cod, stickleback, mussels, razorback clams, cockles, scallops, baby eel, roe of every kind, in olive oil, Galician sauce or brine, small and large, fried and unfried, it goes on and on. 

Our favorite brands so far have been Conservas de Cambados, Jose Gourmet, Donostia, La Brujula, Don Bocarte, Ortiz, and Ramon Pena, and our favorite types have been tuna belly (yellowfin, bluefin, albacore), white tuna, octopus, small sardines, razor clams, and cockles, in olive oil or escabeche.

While you can eat it on its own, there’s almost as many ways to eat conservas as there are varieties – it reminds me a little of Danish smørrebrød in that way. 

Some thought starters on your tapas:

Base (e.g. crostini, other bread, chicharrones, crackers, roasted seaweed, pasta, potato chips, small potatoes, beans, tortilla, naan, pizza, rice, fried rice, saffron rice, salad, lettuce, no base/ceviche in tin)

Savory (e.g. butter, lime crema, mayo, cream cheese, parmesan, chopped/sliced boiled egg, fried egg, avocado, hummus, feta, manchego cheese, goat cheese, ricotta, cream cheese, tuna salad with bonito del norte, white bean puree, curry yogurt, sardine rillette, tuna melt, pesto, spinach sauce, soft scrambled egg, roast garlic pate, sauce vierge, saffron aioli, ajo blanco in shot glass)

Citrus/acid (e.g. orange slices, preserved lemon, lemon zest, sundried tomato, tomato pulp, diced tomato, roasted cherry tomato, squeeze of lemon/lime juice, sherry/red wine vinegar, lemon garlic sauce, romesco sauce, pisto/ratatouille, mango)

Sweet (e.g. jam, honey, strawberries)

Herbs (e.g. parsley, mint, cilantro, basil, tarragon, dill)

Greens (e.g. fennel, cucumber, radish, arugula, spinach, sprouts, microgreens, radicchio)

Onion (e.g. green onion, slivered shallot/onion)

Crunch (e.g. chopped nuts, slivered almonds, pine nuts, pistachio, sesame seeds, bread crumbs)

Kick (e.g. grated garlic, capers, guindilla/piquillo peppers, jalapeno, roe, asian chili crisp, wasabi mayo, manzanilla olives, olive tapenade, pickle, relish, mustard, kimchi, salsa red/verde, pepper flakes, piment d'espelette, banderillas, hot sauce, artichoke, diced red pepper)

Flavor (e.g. sprinkle of good grey salt, pepper, paprika, olive oil, roasted seaweed pieces, sliced white asparagus, za'atar, oregano, cast-iron charring)

You obviously don’t need to include all of these but a tin of conservas is great to have when you’re famished since it’ll go with whatever you have on hand.

This WSJ recipe for roasted peppers and white tuna ventresca was delicious, though it took longer than I’d like:

5 Local Chicago Restaurants to Support on Cinco De Mayo

There’s no better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo today than with tacos and margaritas. The city’s best taquerias are always delicious and dependable, but the following restaurants are my favorite local spots in the city. Some are providing DIY taco kits while others are putting together Mexican meals for delivery. Scroll through the options below and support your local businesses.

5 RABANITOS

Chef Alfonso Sotelo, who previously worked at places like Topolobampo and Xoco, opened this casual eatery in 2015. It’s hard to go wrong with the appealing menu of tacos, tortas, caldos, and vegetarian-friendly dishes. Much of the cooking is derived from longtime family recipes and provides a heavy dose of comfort to diners. XOCO alum chef Alfonso Sotelo's dishes are delightfully comforting with just the right amount of personality. Whether you order a big plate of tacos (which won’t break the bank at $2.75 a piece) or our favorite, the warm and hearty green chicken tamal, you’ll feel like a million dollars after. The menu has about 3,589 delicious things for you to choose from, with a great selection of tacos, a ton of vegetarian options, fantastic carne asada, and a very spicy ahogada torta with carnitas that happens to be one of the best sandwiches in Chicago, period.

CANTON REGIO

Fans of Pilsen’s iconic Nuevo Leon, which burned in a 2015 fire, can take refuge at this spot from the same owners. Here, they offer updated takes on classics from northern Mexico, such as beef sweetbreads, grilled basket cheese, queso fundido, and an array of skewers. The menu focuses on grilled meat, which means you can share things like incredibly tender steaks, brochetas with shrimp or chicken served dangling from medieval-looking hooks, and fajitas. Everything is well-seasoned and perfectly cooked, and this place also makes its own flour tortillas - which are so good I’d consider ordering a meal from here just to eat those.

DOS URBAN CANTINA

Beloved modern Mexican restaurant Dos Urban Cantina is back with family meals on Cinco de Mayo. Two Topolobampo vets — Brian Enyart and Jennifer Jones Enyart — make up the culinary leadership at this restaurant, which touts an elevated menu puntuacted by bold flavors. Case in point: Soft shell crab gets a morita chile and tamarind glaze; grilled mushrooms are covered in red mole; and pork tenderloin is marinated in sour orange. Folks can pick up chipotle chicken tacos ($45, feeds four) or tamal Azteca ($40, feeds four). Each order comes with dessert — either chocolate cake or tres leches — as well. Chips and guac and alcohol are optional add-ons. The only way you can mess up your order here is by skipping Jennifer's famed chocolate cake, which we're convinced is laced with loads of cocoa and pure magic.

TAQUERIA TRASPASADA 2

The signage on this skinny counter-service taqueria touts its fare as the best Mexican food in town, and while the objective truth of that may be hard to determine, it indeed does some excellent things with pork. Tacos al pastor are tender and laced with rich adobo essence; others are stuffed with delicately flavored chicharron (pork skin) and slathered with fresh, chunky salsa verde. Don’t miss out on their specials of menudo and birria (goat soup), the latter featuring forkfuls of soft, mildly gamey meat in a smoky broth.

EL MILAGRO

Chicagoans are likely familiar with El Milagro’s products, as they’re readily available in grocers across the region. The company operates several cafeteria-style taquerias and tortillerias as well, and customers line up for plates of guisados (Mexican stews) and tacos. The steak taco in particular is a feast on its own: A big piece of hanger steak is placed on two tortillas and topped with rice, beans, and cabbage slaw.

King Taco, 1118 Cypress Ave, Los Angeles (Cypress Park), CA 90065

King Taco has something like 30 locations now? But the one in Cypress Park is the very first one. It was founded by Raul Martinez in 1974. There’s a plaque there in honor of Raul, who passed away in 2013. I love King Taco’s spicy red salsa. I’ve only been to the Pasadena location before coming to Cypress Park.

The menu in Cypress Park is larger – they have soups/caldos, guisados, platters and lots of things that Pasadena does not offer. Tacos are $1.75. They also have burritos, sopes, quesadillas, nachos, tamales, tostadas, chimichangas and drinks. Meats: Carne asada, al pastor, carnitas, chicharron, buche, chicken, lengua, cabeza, suadero. It’s not a fancy place but it’s no frills, pretty authentic Mexican food.

Pollo en mole poblano ($11.75): I wasn’t sure what to expect but they make really good mole – not too watery or thin, packed with complex flavor. The chicken leg and thigh were tender and smothered in mole, then dusted in sesame seeds. The mole is slightly sweet and smoky. The sides were good but somewhat skimpy (fluffy Mexican rice, creamy refried pinto beans topped with grated Cojita). The corn tortillas were larger and oily for some reason.

It’s a popular spot and most patrons are Mexican (it’s in a Mexican neighborhood). The interior looks older but in good shape. Order at the counter and get a number.

To save time, call to place your order. Don’t forget to ask for salsa (rojo or verde). They have their own parking lot. Outdoor seating available.
