Lorena and I ran down to Mexico for a few days to see family and visit the house projects we are doing there. This is the first time I have been back since the pandemic. It is amazing to me how easy it is to forget how good the cuisine is in this part of the world. The picture was taken yesterday afternoon in Tío Lauro’s atelier. It is a truly beautiful setting and the improvements he has made since we were here last are incredible. Lauro has a lot of work left to do, but you can see where he is going with the place now in a way that was not so evident before. The other thing about the place we like is all the fruit trues he planted in the garden behind the house that are bearing fruit. It is a little piece of paradise.
