Enchiladas De Dos Gringos

Most Gringos, ourselves included, don’t know much about Mexican food.  The elaborate preparations and regional intricacies are usually lost in the typical, one-size-fits-all “joints” one finds north of the border.  It’s a shame.  Mexican food: the soulful child of European and Mayan parents, rivals any cuisine in assertive style and compelling flavor.  Lizzie and I are two certified “Gringos” from the tri-state area and have begun the journey into our southern neighbor’s cuisine with Rick Bayless, author of Everyday Mexican, as our guide.  We have customized one of his recipes for Enchiladas from Mexico City, for our Enchiladas De Dos Gringos.

Pad Krapow Moo Sandwich (Pork with Thai Basil Sandwich)

A friend of ours is currently living in Thailand. Since we are obsessed with different types of food we started wondering what great stuff she had been eating out there. Asian food is something that Danny and I have barely explored. When our friend said she loved Pad Krapow Moo we decided lets make this into one of our favorite things. A sandwich! Danny loves using the pressure cooker I got him for Christmas, so we decided to cook the pork with this. We got our ingredients at an Asian market in town. If you don't have any near you, you can always substitute any thing you cant find. Be creative!
