Re: [ranchos] Menudo and nopales?


 

Well thank you Steven. . .I'm not sure when but one day in hopefully the not to distant future I'll be coming back to S. Cal. for another visit. All the guisos that you mention sound just terrific especially the tacos de lengua. . .I'm really partial to cow and more so to Lamb tongue, best meat in the world next to goats head.

anyway the Tequila part sounds inviting as well. . .I have a story about my grandmother going from her town in Northern Jalisco very close to Colotlan and being baptized or confirmed in Tequila, Jalisco. Now this doesn't make sense since they are so far away from each other for the time period I'm talking about (around 1886-1896). Well anyway to get to the point yes I'd be interested in seeing his (your Tio Julio) pedigree chart. I'm still thinking in the back of my mind that we might be primos via our Miramontes and every bit of new info that I see might be the piece the puts us together as the one family we possibly might have once been.

thanks again for the invitation. If you or any of the other Ranchos members ever get to Raleigh, NC well that is close enough for us to at least have a meal together.

Hey, Joseph, you stand invited to my house for menudo, or pozole, or a carne asada, tostadas de cueritos, carnitas, enchiladas de camaron, costillitas de puerco con nopales en salsa de tomatillos, tacos de sesos (o lengua, al pastor), pepena, mole poblano con arroz y cebollas curtidas, pollo frito en salsa chipotle, tripitas, cocido, albondigas, or sopes, etc, con arroz y frijoles, and followed with a great jericalla, flan, capirotada (if it's during lent), and served with a great agua de naranja, tamarindo, jamaica, or horchata, or a shot of my Tio Julio's wonderful tequila, Don Julio.  Don Julio Gonzalez Estrada, maker of Don Julio Tequila, is my Abuelita Cruz's first-cousin.  If you're interested I could show you his pedigree chart.
 
So whenever you decide to travel outside of North Carolina and visit Southern California, then as they say...MI CASA ES SU CASA.
 
Cordialmente,
