…Because, after sampling everything the vendors hand you, including guanabana pulp and mamey and a big chunk of avocado, you STILL stop on the way out at the stand selling the world’s tiniest breakfast pastries, and you promptly purchase a whole bag of them, because they’re so little and cute.
You also ask the lady, “What’s that?” and point at what looks like a large chunk of bread. She says, “A borrachito — bread soaked in honey.” So you buy that too and gobble it on the way home, lack of antibacterial hand gel be damned.
And then, the morning after preparing a huge batch of chicken tinga, and eating four tacos stuffed with tinga and avocado and riquísimo panela cheese:
You eat said pastries with coffee, relishing in their butteriness, but really thinking, why did I purchase these again? I really bought a whole bag?
I’m spending like two hours at the gym today.
Seriously Lesley, you have been graced with a good metabolism in your 30’s! If I eat one itty bitty processed carbohydrate my tummy in pouchy for days! Meaning, my tummy is always pouchy. 🙂
Thanks for the kind words about my metabolism. But after I ate those four tacos yesterday — and two scoops of yummy banana pudding — I was feeling pretty pouchy myself. 🙂
Really, I just love indulging in food, so I try to work out a lot so my clothes will still fit. I never, ever want to have to turn down a piece of chocolate cake, you know? Even just a tiny sliver. Mmmm.
Lesley–
I think that it’s a WONDERFUL idea to shop at the tianguis while hungry!!!
OMG. I’m hungry from just looking at the pictures!!!
