I’m headed back to Mexico City tonight, carrying way too much stuff from the U.S. (Among my items: quinoa, coffee beans, maple syrup, strawberry-rhubarb jam, a dish drying rack, an old cookbook of my grandmother’s, a Cadbury cream egg.) Someday I’m not going to buy so much. Promise.
A few snapshots from my trip:

The Olympia pupuseria with fantastic tamales de elote

An item I covet from Bed Bath & Beyond. If only I could find it in Mexico for less than $50.
