A Beautiful Book for $2

I've been wanting a cookbook with traditional Mexican recipes and I've found it at the 2nd hand store. This was a great find and I grabbed it knowing this was a gem. It's got some wonderful photos of the people and the food. Here is a sample of the inside....
There are recipes from different regions.


A pair of beautiful ladies. Probably a mother and her daughter. This photo reminded me of the time I helped my mother sell some mexican planters on our driveway. They were beautifully painted and in a variety of shapes and colors.
 
Rompope! I will be making this for my father. 

The three fingers I slashed with a utility blade a week before I went to Japan for a month (you can see the scar on the index finger). Oh, and a man carrying home some fresh fish for dinner. I would love to go visit Mexico. There are many amazing photos in the book and I'm aching for a trip to another country.
