I had this for the first time from a street vendor in Mexico City a few years ago. Everything about the situation said "Don't eat that!" - from the big open cauldron of corn to the tub of unrefrigerated mayo sitting on the cart's counter. But I jumped in nonetheless...and I am SO happy I did. This was a revelation. Now this is a summer staple for me as well. The only thing I can't replicate exactly is the mayo. Mexican mayo has a lot of citrus flavor that I get close to by squirting a lime over the whole thing. And I'm sure if I bothered to look for Mexican mayo, I'd find it easily.

This is awesome. I could watch her go back and forth between those bowls all day.

I think another thing to note here is that Alton is using a $500 Vitamix blender. This is not your average blender. Even with the advice he gives, getting a really good smoothie out of an average home blender is very difficult. Not being paid by Vitamix or anything, I promise. Just saying we're not really talking apples to apples here. I wish I could afford one.

I absolutely second the tomato + mayo combo! During summer as a kid, I would refuse all other nutrition other than tomato + mayo sandwiches (on white bread). Also, greens and vinegar - it's a clissic.

Well, your kitchen is adorable. But your huevos rancheros description sealed the deal for my vote. :)

Sherwin Williams has an exterior color pallete called "Suburban Modern," which might be a really good source of inspiration for your style of home if you want to play up the mid-century cuteness. They even group the colors for you in 2 or three that work together for main, trim and accent colors.

@RYTTU3K Yes, it does. Every now and then I'll be stirring or flipping something in a pan and accidentally send it flying out onto the dining room floor. I can't really blame the configuration of the range, though...I think it's my klutz gene. :)

My favorite. I love the frosted glass! I wish we could get those swanky European appliances over here in the states.
