Recipe for the rain / Escabeche

by Doug LeMoine on 23 February 2010

(Also known as those pickled vegetables from the taco truck.) ... Mara made some this weekend, and I’ve basically been living on it for the last three days. The recipe originated in The Essential Cuisines of Mexico, but we found a previously adapted version at Simply Recipes. ¡Horale! ¡Vamos a do this! Ingredients 1 lb jalapeño [...]

Even though I’m generally a West Coast kind of guy, I devour books about New York  —  its chaotic beginnings as a lawless, crazy quilt of neighborhoods and gangs; its transformation into a massive modern city; the peculiar dynamics of its organic growth.

You may recognize me from somewhere, somewhere like YOUR TIVO. Pretty much the only thing the director told me: “Don’t look at the camera.” Dang.
