OK, so I rather eat than shop. That is a fact. The highlight of yesterday's trip to Tonala was lunch at the Rincon del Sol Restaurant. I chose the speicialty of the house "Chiles en Nogada". If you do a google search for the recipe, you will find it complicated and much work. It is made up of two Poblano peppers which are NOT PICANTE stuffed with ground beef, peas, carrots, and walnuts. It is then covered with a walnut cream sauce and decorated with red pomegranate seeds. The flavor as well as presentation was superb. Ingredients in recipes can differ. I am sure that all would be wonderful.
Ann and I waited in the same location for the bus from Tlaquepaque to Tonala. Asked the driver if bus stopped in Tonala. Si. Well, we traveled a route through villages that we had not seen on the last two bus rides. Going home...we went a fourth route. Guess it must be like Rome with many routes leading to a destination.
We walked a different street market route than Sue and I took the other day. Found some wonderful wooden boxes, place mats, napkins. Mostly, it was fun to look around. It is amazing to see all of the fabricas (where crafts are made) and shops. People everywhere go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. We found this on bus rides and walking the streets.
