The blues. It had to happen sooner or later! This week has been stressful, and I know very well that it's only my Toronto life kicking into gear. It's not going to quiet down magically any time soon.
We are having a casual party tomorrow, and I am preparing a big taco feast for the occasion. I miss the Mexico markets, filled with so many beautiful fresh produce, and so cheap! I paid close to $1 per avocado here, and I remember paying 5 cents in the public market a few weeks ago. They are Mexican avocados at least, and I guess we all have to pay for the flight! I also miss the 'real' fruit - like oranges with seeds, and that have not beed spray painted to be perfectly orange all over. Everything has seeds there, as it should be. The grapes, cucumbers and watermelons, and I was uncomfortable with the fact that the kids were not used to that. What a strange part of the world we live in...
I should go out of my way to shop at the Kensington Market. I will try to work that into my weekly schedule.
So the many dishes I am preparing will be a Toronto adaptation of the originals, but still pretty satisfying.
Time to go, still a lot to do - and I really want to sort a bunch of photos to set-up a looping slide show on out lap top. Will that make me bluer? We shall see.
Somewhere between Izamal and Sudzal, Yucatan.
