I received the score sheets, a beautiful case of dominos for Mexican Train and Chicken as well as a pkg of tile racks.  Shipping was almost immediate and the quality is great!  I'll be back.

I have been looking for fun domino tiles for my 2.5 year old.  These are nice, sturdy wood dominoes.  The design is just as you see it, the colors are fun and bright.  I have seen similar domino/matching products, but they were always huge paper cards (like a drink coaster) and I wanted something with a little more of a traditional domino feel.  I would absolutely recommend these to someone who was looking for a cute domino/matching game for their child.

The Latin Road Home

Jose Garces is the chef and owner of Amada, and has won many awards, such as the 'Best Chef Mid-'Atlantic award in 2009. He is a master of Latin cuisine, and his book reflects this in a beautiful way. There are gorgeous pictures throughout, of the food, and the countries. The book is arranged in chapters, with each chapter featuring the food of one country that has influenced Garces the most. The chapters include Ecuador, Spain, Cuba, Mexico, and Peru. Garces thoughtfully provides a map of each country, and Quick Info about each country, with information about the Land, People, and Food. On the side, in the margin, is a list of historical notes. So if you dislike reading about history, you can easily skip that part! I love reading about why a particular country is of interest to Garces as well. I turned to that first to see, for example, how he is connected to the foods of Peru and Cuba, since his parents came from Ecuador.

The recipes are arranged in menus, which is very thoughtful for those of us who would like to prepare an entire meal. There are several menus for each country, some short, and some very long. For example, from Ecuador we have a menu of Crab Ceviche, Salt Cod and Legume Chowder, Griddled Potato Cakes with Queso Fresco, Aji Mushrooms with Ginger and Saffron, and Figs in Honey Syrup with Goat Cheese. He also has a beautiful and mouth watering section on Empanadas. From Spain we have a menu consisting of Almond Gazpacho with Smoked Trout, Butter-Toasted Marcona Almonds, Seafood Vermicelli Paella, and Piquillo Pepper Aioli. A menu from Cuba features Lobster in Spicy Tomato Sauce, Fried Stuffed Chiles, and Garbanzo Bean Salad with Lemon-Dijon Dressing. A simple menu from Mexico consists of Tortilla Soup, Red Snapper in Tomato Sauce, and Warm Green Bean Salad. A more complex one had 2 types of Margaritas, Chipotle Chicken Nachos, Guacamole and Tortilla Chips, then a Taco Bar (which has 7 recipes in it, such as Beer and Citrus-Braised Fried Pork and Roasted Poblano Chiles with Mushrooms), then Tres Leches Cake. From Peru he has a menu with Corvina Ceviche, Pickled Red Pearl Onions, Stewed Duck with Potatoes, Peas, and Chiles, and Red Chile Butter.

There are a few ingredients that might be difficult for people without a good latin grocery to find, like Yuca flour, but Garces notes these and has a list of sources to find them. My only real complaint is the photo of the brined suckling pig, which I found pretty revolting (I mainly eat vegetarian). But I suppose if you want to make the recipe it pays to know what you are getting into. Oh, and Amazon packed it poorly and the corners are all crunched, but I did not want to do without the book while having the hassle of return shipping it.

The dominos arrived as promised and the kids loved them. My only complaint is writing on the back of the blank-blank that makes it easily identifiable.

Construction is the best, perfect for the game, built right for the specs of the domino's in the game, thanks!

I like that I can see all of the dominos in the trays, unlike the wood ones

The photgraphs make my mouth water!  The recipes are, in my opinion, not really representative of the working class dishes that I so often think of when I hear "truly mexican".  This booklet offers some really succulent plates that make ample use of the many seasonings that bring about a zestful bursting of flavors that melt in my mouth.  For the most part, these are sauces that provide a foundation for some fantastic dishes!  There are a few dishes I'm not brave enough to eat.  Materials and directions are straightforward.  I give this book a B+.

We had seen her in reviews online and knew she was so pretty, but she is even more in person.

I personally loved her story about how her family runs a Mexican bakery (my favorite!) and she helps give the leftovers to the poor children.

The Hearts 4 Hearts dolls are really good examples to my girls, and I'm so glad they made such lovely and inspiring dolls!

I cook some kind of mexican food once a week, and throwing together a Mexican casserole is one of my staples, so this dish seemed like a natural addition to my kitchen.

Upon receipt, I was impressed by the high quality of this dish. It is a gorgeous piece, with a lovely colored red glaze and is a nice weight and size to hold your your average (and more) casserole with no problem. I then promptly threw together my tamale pie recipe and baked it at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. I did not use any spray, oil or butter on the bottom to test how stick-free it was, and used whole grain rice as my bottom ingredient.

After removing it from the oven, the cheese was a lovely golden brown and the casserole was cooked all the way through to perfection. As you can see from my pictures, no food stuck to the dish after serving. After dinner, I soaked the dish for five mins in hot soapy water and it wiped clean easily with a sponge. Very happy with this dish, will use it regularly. Highly recommend.

I have included some pictures of the dish after it came out of the oven and after it was cleaned.

Would have liked to have wooden ones, but these work fine.  I can really organize my dominoes for Mexican Train.

only one negative about the dominoes...both the #6 and #9 have underlines, which
make it confusing. I whited out the lines under the nines.

If you are one who loves the visual presentation of a meal, you'll love the bold and beautiful look of Lenox plates on your table. Each set that we've seen is stunning and appealing. This Independence set, no less, makes you feel like royalty, sitting at your own table. The plates are of excellent craftsmanship and design. The tea saucer has a high flared rim for easy lift from the table, and the high gloss, deep blue grabs your attention. On our set, every detail was flawless with the exception of a slightly ragged edge on the gold banding on the bottom of the teacup. It is only visible on very close inspection. At first I was reluctant to wash such expensive dishes in the dishwasher, but have since found that all our Lenox china washes very well in the dishwasher, and for the most part leaves less water spots than when I hand wash and dry. In any case, because of the high glossy sheen and deep colors, you will probably want to use a clean, dry towel to remove any lingering water spots before you set the table for a fine meal. Once again we are deeply impressed by the Lenox China line.

As an Austinite, it's not as though I'm lacking in Tex-Mex restaurant choices here, but in all honesty some of the best Tex-Mex I eat is when we take one of our frequent weekend getaway trips to San Antonio since it's just 1.5 hours from here.  We LOVE the flavors, yet we also love to cook at home.

It was long overdue that I got a cookbook that is specifically the San Antonio flavors and specifically Tex-Mex recipes.

The cookbook is very extensive at almost 300 pages, some with more than one recipe per page so there is a good chance if you have a favorite Tex-Mex dish, it may be here.

Every recipe is quite simple, in spite of many of them tasting quite gourmet.  I had no problem locating all ingredients easily in a regular grocery store--there was nothing bizarre or exotic.

Here are some examples of recipes we personally like from it--and all recipes are easily altered for special diets:
*Enchiladas Verde (a family recipe from a San Antonio tv anchor according the the cookbook, it has chicken, chiles, cheese, sour cream, etc)
*Cheese Enchiladas  We make this in a hurry, with only 4 ingredients
*Green Chile Chili
*Corn Chip Chili  it was like a gourmet "frito pie")
*Mexican Style Mini Pizza
*Black Bean Tortilla Lasagna
*Jalapeno Chicken
*Poblano Cheese Potatoes
*Cheese and Potato Stuffed Poblanos
*Quickie Quesadillas
*Breakfast Chile Rellenos
*Chicken Black Bean Torta
*Chipotle-Bean Huevos Rancheros
*Watermelon Aqua (this is sooo good for brunch or lunch on the deck; so light)
*Avocado Margarita (This sounded too bizarre not to try but there is a reason why avocados are frequently used to make a dessert creamy. This is from Aladaco's Mexican Cuisine, a restaurant in San Antonio and it was GOOD!)
*Cinnamon Hot Chocolate (this is often called Mexican Hot chocolate and I made this recipe as it stated which was great and then added chipotle once which was awesome too.)
*Cheesey Chiles Cornbread
*Shrimp with Chipotle Remoulade Sauce (adapted from Emeril Lagasse. Amazing.)
*Churros
*Mexican Brownies

That's just a sampling of the recipes I personally like...you get the idea.

Level: No cooking skill level needed. There are no bizarre ingredients or tricky tasks or phrases.

Know going in: For me, these recipes are pretty easy to read and visualize, but if you are one who HAS to have photographs of the dishes, know there aren't any here. There is also no nutritional information but if you are deciding to cook any Mexican food that isn't in a diet cookbook that is no big surprise and you probably aren't worrying about it that night anyway! But, just sayin'...

Conclusion: Such a perfect cookbook when we want to cook Tex-Mex.  There's no chance of me browsing through this one and not finding something I'm in the mood for, and I often have the ingredients for the dishes already on hand for many of them which is a bonus.

What would you get if you took Martha's eye for presentation but left off the obsessive-compulsive side? It would probably be something along the lines of Ellen Wright's beautiful book. Photographer Tom Eckerle's gorgeous pictures show off the natural beauty of The Hamptons as well as the artful arrangement of Wright's mostly casual home-style food. Many of the seasonally arranged menus feature old-fashioned dishes and none of the recipes could be mistaken for haute cuisine. Wright unabashedly uses baking mix and iceberg lettuce and wouldn't dream of asking you to make mayonnaise from scratch. Her  philosophy is that inviting someone into your home for a meal is not about impressing them with your 4-star cuisine, but about making them feel comfortable and appreciated and well-fed. She reminds us that good food, lovingly prepared, an attractive setting and pleasant company are the hallmarks of gracious entertaining. She obviously is doing something right as James Beard and Tom Brokaw are but two of the luminaries who have graced her table and sung her praises. In an era of knock-your-socks-off culinary one-upmanship, Ellen Wright is a voice of gracious good sense. Relax, drop the pretense and enjoy  entertaining again. Not to be missed: Banged Chicken and Brown Sugar Peach Pie.
