melting pot as boeuf bourguignon

My intention was not to write so often about food, but, jeez louise, I love it, particularly the good stuff. Luckily, so does Alvarito. At one point we decided that, besides values, our only two similarities are our loves of eating and traveling.

Today for the first time, my Mexican husband made Boeuf Bourguignon. Our melting pot:
Alvaro lived in Mexico until age 27, so he is fully immersed in the concept of the big afternoon meal, comida, especially on weekends. It's so nice to cook something new and grand and then savor it. This French-inspired one was particularly delicioso, delicieux - each bit involved so many flavors, such depth.
Diverse cultures, food, exploration, adventure, taste, family. A true meal.

Once again: YUM! I don't even eat mammals any more, but I would eat this, I think. The smell of boeuf bourgignon is so rich and profound. My mum made it for Christmas one year and it blew my mind.

Emily, I think this was the first time I've had it. And, I have to say, this is one of the reasons that I no longer refrain from eating our fellow beasts...
