march? already?

Time is flying by so quickly! I can't believe it. To make sure that everything I want to accomplish gets done, I made a bucket list for the rest of my time in Puebla. A week ago, one of the items was crossed off.

What was it? Eating elote.

Elote is a very popular Mexican snack. It is sold at every market and is practically on every street corner. I've always watched with skeptical eyes at the locals who feast on it. Robin and I got talked into trying it while at the Sunday market. We agreed to it, but not before receiving the promise that we would only have to eat one. So we ate it. Corn + mayo + parmesan cheese (mas o menos) + chili powder + lime juice = a cup of elote. While not as bad as I expected, it still wasn't something I'd buy again. That being said, I'm glad we tried it in the long run :)
