2021 Winter (February);

This was one I picked up for The 2021 Reading Bingo Board Challenges as 'something near to your home (literally and figuratively), and this checked all the boxes. As someone living in the lower half of Texas, Mexican culture and the Hispanic population makes up far more the 50% of our lovely city, which means, of course, my city, its mixed culture, and my own background is full of ther interweaving of Mexican Culture and Food.

I really like how honest and revealing this book was. It made me wince, smile, and laugh. I recognized every single dish, and felt poignantly moved by how they'd shaped the authors life, and even more, how this challenge choice and book, made me reflect on how each of those dishes had helped shaped parts of my past and present.
