Sweet pepper molcajete
A steaming molcajete filled with shrimp, cheese and chorizo titillates the taste buds! Early in the season Chris and I were invited out to dinner with friends and I had my first steaming molcajete; impressive to view and divine on the taste buds!

The delightful bar that is [...]
