The Best Mexican Foods
Growing up in a Mexican household, I had the privilege—and still have the privilege—of eating the best Mexican dishes ever. The Mexican culture has the best foods ever, from tacos to birria. The list could go on and on. I have so many choices, and I still managed to make a top five. My top list is mostly from the foods I grew up on; foods that my mom made while I grew up, and still makes them. Foods that I had when growing up were the best.

When Gluten-Free Screams Sourdough
Saying 'I'm Gluten-Free' Screams 'I Need Sourdough' I used to brace myself for the reactions when I'd say, "Oh, I can't have that, sorry, I'm gluten-intolerant." I've spent countless minutes staring at the gluten-free aisles, forlorn at the brand-names I didn't recognize and alternatives that didn't "appetize."

The Flan Story
Last night one of my father’s friends arranged a dinner in a trendy Cuban restaurant called Havana 1920 in downtown San Diego and something happened… a huge craving was lifted up that prompted me to look at the desserts menu online hours before going to the restaurant because of one possibility, do they have flan? I found “Abuela’s Flan” on that menu and even before getting there I had my ratatouille moment.

Around the Coffee in Five Countries
Italy Italy is well known for having the best coffee in the world but ordered in a unique way. It does seem to work for them but when I ordered an espresso it came at a very high temperature, at which I could not drink straight away, and I had a burnt tongue after as I decided to neck it. I saw that every time I ordered an espresso, it was always accompanied with a glass of water (sometimes still, sometimes sparkling). When you drink the water after a sip of espresso it tends to cleanse your palate. So that the next time you have a sip you will enjoy the flavour of the coffee more. Italians don’t order an espresso because of the caffeine and the strength of the coffee; they order it because it is very rich and flavoursome. In Italy, I also found that you should not have a latte or a cappuccino in the morning as they cringe at the idea of having a stomach full of milk in the morning. If you want to stay in their tradition, you should only have an espresso in the morning and have a latte or cappuccino later, such as for lunch or even dinner. For me I found that Kimbo coffee was the best I tasted out there by far, it was just so succulent and rich and just had tons of flavour to the coffee. I highly recommend Kimbo coffee but use a Moka pot to brew it to get the best flavour out of the coffee.
