I just made pozole (correct spelling, btw) with my mom last weekend. I did soak it with lie for a while in lots of water. Then, after a while, I rinsed it really, really well. Cooked it for hours along with some good pork shoulder and aromatics. It's the best thing ever.

For this native Mexican, THE best, clearly laid out recipe comes from Rick Bayless. Find his recipe. You won't regret the steps.It's so worth it.

I seriously think the copy is much better than the original. I love it. Great work!

This is a wonderful reminder about how much in control of our emotions/attitudes toward our life we truly are. I do this all the time and I didn't even realize how it was affecting me. After reading about wars/accidents/controversial topics, I find myself struggling to look forward to my day. I've also done it at night before bed, and it makes it harder to get to sleep. ( no duh!) I'm starting tomorrow. The phone stays in the charger on my landing strip by the door and I don't check it until I'm out of bed and dressed. Thanks Justin! I love AT!

Chubby Vegetarian: very similar to what I've done. I actually prefer corn tortillas heated on a dry skillet, topped with the avocado mixture, egg, hot sauce. Now, couple this with a very hot cup of strong coffee, and I'm sorry but it's the best breakfast ever!!! Don't forget the sprinkling of good sea salt.

THis is the first time I have everything in hand to make a nice DYI project. I'm in the middle of painting and redecorating my 10-year-old's daughter with a light blue and astrological theme. Had the globe around and just made it into a pendant!! She's going to love it. Thank you Apartment Therapy! It's super cute.

Even her voice is peaceful and gentle, just like the way she farms. I loved hearing her dad saying that his daughter made him realize the connection of the diseased people in the village with the fertilizers and pesticides in their food. The new generation teaching the old. Beautiful story.

Second paragraph should be "lives up to ITS name." Sorry, I can't help it sometimes.

This is America...learn a second language! :-) The beauty of America is that it's diverse. I say more power to the people who embrace difference.

My two favorite food websites in one! Deb, you are incredible. Your joy for cooking and living comes across easily. Add me to your list of admirers....yes, there's many of us. And thank you The Kitchn for taking us there and recognizing the amazing beauty in what she does.

For a full-fledged plan that takes you from a chaotic life to a life of order and peace of mind, look up "The Flylady". I read her book years ago and it changed my home life. I'm not as gun-ho (sp?) about it now, but I still follow the same basic principles. It's an amazing way to stay organized, and you CAN adapt it to a life with kids. I started using it when I became a mom! Happy organizing!
