Mi pata hueca (aka Me, the bottomless pit)

I haven’t updated in a long while, and tomorrow is my four month anniversary in Mexico (OH-EM-GEE).  *cue quite the number of blog posts in the next week or so*

To start my updating frenzy, I would like to take a moment (aka less than a minute) and remind everyone that I love food.  To this end, I have created the following slideshow: yes, it is cheaply made and no, I don’t care.  I just want you to see the beautifully made food I’ve been eating.

Note: this slideshow does not include any food from Dulce or any great majority of the food I’ve eaten out of the house, just the few plates I remembered to take a picture of.

Note.2: Pata hueca means “hollow leg” in Spanish, as in: La verdad es que come mucho, como si tuviera una pata hueca. (He eats so much, it’s like he has a hollow leg.)

And now I’m hungry.  *cue Dulce calling*

Sopa de cebolla

ingredients

• large white onion
• chicken powder
• egg
• cheese (a white one)

Slice onion and lightly fry (with a dash of chicken powder) until rings are transparent.  If not already in a soup pot, dump into soup pot and add water.  Add a dash more of chicken powder and salt, pepper, seasoning you want, etc, and heat for ~30 minutes (will be boiling).  Add grated cheese on top and watch it melt.  Beat up the egg and add to boiling water as well (it looks like egg drop soup).  Allow cheese to melt and egg boil, but not so much that they completely disintegrate.  Serve hot with crackers.  Is delicious.
