Cent'anni
Cent'anni at Canal 34
opened last weekend with a lot of fanfare. Got to admit that this branch of the
famous Cent'anni in the Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City has not only a beautiful
space here in San Miguel but the Italian food is the real deal.
I saw at least a dozen
things on the menu that I have to try. Great service and a super friendly staff
places this restaurant on the top of our got-to-love-it list.
A great Caramelized
apple pizza, Minestrone soup and a beautiful Caprese salad proved just one
thing...we're all going back again tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
Lavender...
Lavender grows
abundantly in Mexico. Did you know it puts you in a drowsy state?
Smelling lavender
makes you sleepy. Research shows that the scent lowers your heart rate and blood
pressure, putting you in a very relaxed state.
To set yourself up for
a good night’s sleep, put a handful of dried lavender next to your bed.
And I bet you thought
only good tequila could do that?
Fat Tuesday is traditionally your last chance to binge on rich, fatty foods
before the ritual fasting for the Lenten season.
Does mini-sizing my favorite indulgence make
me feel half as guilty about eating it?
Pass me the pint of
ice cream and we’ll talk about it.
Best Taco in the World
Last year, leading
global food bloggers, top chefs and food connoisseurs gathered in London for
‘The World’s Seven Tastiest Fast Feasts Awards’, an event sponsored by
Chowzter, a web site and app dedicated to promoting ‘traditional fast food’.
And out of five
nominations for best taco in the world the prize went to local restaurant
Barbacoa Santiago in Querétaro.
The tacos at Barbacoa
Santiago are so famous that people make the pilgrimage just for the experience.
