Quince me this; what to do with quince? Quince is an under appreciated and not always easy fruit to find. They are fibrous and very firm when ripe & you could lose a finger when slicing if you’re not careful. The flesh does bake up quite tender and tasty. However, […]
Dia de Muertos celebrations in Mexico are simply mesmerizing. Elaborate ofrendas adorned with an endless sea of gold, orange and red marigolds are so beautiful. I have watched many video celebrations for Day of the Dead and it’s definitely on my bucket list. And, FYI it is correctly translated as […]
