Cominda Listo: not listo

Posted On: 06/18/2008 18:26:49

I had this brilliant idea for an article.I was going to do a photo essay of grocery shopping in MegaBalcones. I was asked by the security guard not to take any photos. I did a few of the bakery and some other bits. I am going to take my camera to a few other grocery stores and see if I can piece together a photo montage of an Merida grocery experience.
Not wanting to leave you all totally hanging here are some cool links
Unit conversions changing measurements from Imperial to Metric.
Rolly Brook's Mexican-Spanish to English Cooking Lexicon
and Culinary terms every novice should know, but might not.

Sorry that I was late on this, but I will be donning my super spy suit and trying to get some supermercado photos ready for next week.

don't know what you mean by advice on how to shop in the Mercado? Do
you mean how to bargain or how to pick out ripe fruit? I hardly ever
shop in the Mercado Galvez because the selection is so limited and most
of the fruits and vegetables come from the Centro de Abastos not from
local farmers.
If you want to read about bargaining, I wrote
thisSometimes you have to cry a little.
I was hoping to do a photo essay but if there really is no interest in it, I will think of something else.
regards,
Theresa
