Red and Green Mexican Mix

Our favorite totopos are now available in festive holiday colors. Have you tried them? They are the best best corn chips I've had north of the border. Though if you are ever in the Pittsburgh area- the ones at the Franklin Inn are equally addictive. Franklin Inn is an oddball name for a Mexican joint but they've been making great Mexican in the hood for 33 years. Ross grew up eating there and I always spoil my appetite on the chips and salsa there. Can't get enough of them!

Bedside Mexico

By my bedside is this beautiful Tina Modotti and Edward Weston's book, The Mexico Years that I received for my birthday. I am still thinking about Mexico, and my interactions with it. Thank you Doug and Toddy!

Moving Forward, Mexico

Here's some work from Mexico that is brand spanking new for the Moving Forward, Standing Still Series:

I'm having a not so pleasant but necessary procedure done this morning. I'll be out cold when this post goes live and hopefully in my dreamlike state, my mind will travel back to warm Cabo San Lucas. In February I vacationed there with Ross' fam, soaking in much needed vitamin D. (As it turns out, I'm severely deficient- going to pick up a prescription ASAP.) It was wonderfully warm, sunny, posh, and simply luxurious.

For those of you who actually like getting my photo albums via email, I'm almost done captioning the album, so those links are coming soon.

(also, for those who actually visit the blog via the site, the address has now moved and I will work on updating my links list and such.)
