I showed up to my 5:30 PM evening class mentally-drained as usual. The 70-mile (roundtrip) commute was nice to me that day, it only took about 1 1/2 hours to get to Pasadena City College from Costa Mesa. I had pumped out two posts earlier that day at the weekly office. But an essay on…

All sandwiched between two toasted, soft, sweet and King’s Hawaiian burger buns.

Extremely happy to say that I worked my ass off for a to compile a 4000+ word narrative on visiting the beloved ranchitos of my parents beautiful home state of Zacatecas for the first time. It was a journey of getting to know my roots through food, it comes complete with 20+ family rancho recipes, including, are you ready? My mom’s world famous Menudo (as made famous on the Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern: Los Angeles). All this, within a week and a half.
