So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

What's Molcajete?

By El Guaco


A molcajete is often a Mexican version of the mortar and pestle tool made of volcanic rock. You can in all probability locate it on sale in each Mexican street marketplace but it can be a bit harder to come by elsewhere. Molcajete is utilised for grinding different food goods certainly such as guacamole.

Like the guacamole itself molcajete also comes from the Aztec men and women and possibly even additional back. As said it's produced out of vesicular basalt and is made in a single piece. It usually has 3 legs and looks some thing like this:

What's cool about molcajete is the fact that the volcanic rock from which it can be made of is really rough and is for that reason a great grinding surface. Because the rock is complete of tiny bubbles which can be continuously worn down the molcajete interior stays sharp. The other consequence of this really is that molcajete of course can never be seriously effectively cleaned. It carries the taste of all prior meals into the subsequent one particular :) which can be cool for that additional something for your guacamole.

Apart from that you could also use it for cooking (not so significantly) and serving dishes because it stays warm for a truly extended time.

Is guacamole far better if it really is produced in molcajete that inside a blender or an ordinary ceramic bowl?

It unquestionably is much more authentic but in terms of taste you may have to determine yourself.
