Are these licorice candies in the states?
One of the things I miss most from the states is all the yummy mexian food. You just can't get it here, and if you do find a mexican restaurant it's overpriced and uninspiring. The supermarkets usually have a small mexican section with old el paso stuff and just the boring thick blah tortillas they make. The other day my life as a kiwi changed when I found great mexican style tortillas that, although small, are just what we want in a tortilla. I was so excited, bought some and daydreamed on my drive home about the yummy cheese crisp with avocado I was going to make for kris and I. When I arrived home the tortillas were nowhere to be found and I can only guess they were placed on top of the car in my dreamy excitement. So we finally bought some more and ate lots of yummy mexican food yesterday. I made Kris his first quesedilla and then had people over later for tostadas, as you can only barely see above through the blurriness. It's pretty wild how, well it makes sense though really, kiwis have not ever, if maybe once or twice, eaten mexican food. It's pretty fun making yummy food that no one has had before and I'm remembering all the mexican food I like to cook. My friends might all end up a bit confused if they go to Mexico one day and wonder why sprouts and hummus isn't served with their burrito- it's mexican with a twist! mmmmm
