Mole in the Mountains

A gastronomic adventure in Xalapa, Mexico.

We just had a wonderful picnic with the hounds in Golden Gate Park, and I will start a thread on the SF Board, but in the meantime, we encourage you all to post your recipes, or requests for recipes, here! I’d love the...

taco/burrito stand that had a covered area with picnic tables to eat at. I ate there almost every day, and when I was sick (often, as I’m allergic to smog) they would give me a free green chile chicken burrito. They were...

and then take S. Lewis Road toward the ocean. I end up on PCH near Point Mugu and head South with the sun again at my back. A trick I learn from a travel guide for Maui roads along the sea cliffs – safer. Either way, I like that...

Erwin’s on Silver Lake Road outside of South Lyon has a pretty good U-pick system. Also U-pick raspberries. Their cider and donuts are fresh and tasty, and they have lots of picnic areas. There’s a free racetrack with...

.ridelink.org/Commuter_Services/Biking/RideLink-SurvivetheDrive-CommuterServices-BikeMaps.asp There is a nice bike path to Ocean beach where you can enjoy burgers at hodads and lots of fun and interesting bars, restaurants and...

on here I will make it a point when we are down there. I don’t think we will spend all day at the Embarcadero / Wharf area ( just a walk through, check out the seals of course!) so I was thinking for dinner maybe driving...

alarms so then my DH has towel-waving duty while I cook. Last summer we were on the road for six weeks and did this coast-to-coast plus Canada, enjoying ourselves greatly. We drive an SUV and stay in motels so nothing is out of...

a fun first date it needs to involve food. A lunch or dinner picnic. What would you do to either impress your date or what would you want your date to do to impress you?

. Try a ham, egg, and cheese on a wrap with fried onions. It’s intense. It’s insane. It’s delicious. It’s on Rte. 123 in Broad River. 5. Overton’s – Great fried clams, good dogs, burgers, and...

Have you ever tried Uncle Grube’s in Elkridge? It just off Rte 1 south of Rte 100. I enjoy their pit beef, but I wonder how it compares to the places that you’ve been discussing. I live in Howard County, so I’m...

I just returned from a trip to SF; ate well with the help of SF Chowhounds. I’ve stayed this time at a hotel at the Wharf (Courtyard), and I have to say in terms of neighborhoods the Wharf seems safer than Union Square...

willing but not able. we are driving down Friday, staying at the comfort suites in jersey for $aving, doing a day-trip in to manhattan on Saturday driving to Long Island on Easter Sunday for a wedding, staying there overnight...

HA HA HA! My mom (age 73) is a foil reuser and it drives me batty! She sometimes starts to fold it back up for me when she’s at my house...I throw it away after she leaves. What can I say? I guess we all draw the line at...

Actually, I totally agree. The issue is that nobody up this way, a long 200 miles outside of NYC, even begins to understand what a rye bread is. So you end up being safer ordering a roll. Of course, even then, it’s not a...
