...cilantro, and two family friends who had accompanied us on the trip hovered over a pot of simmering milk. My father, as is his custom, absolved himself of cooking duties, although he stood by to sample anything ready for testing.

Celebrated for its complex stews, bold flavors, unusual ingredients and intricate cooking techniques, the area has long attracted gourmets from around the world (the most daring will munch on chapulines - fried grasshoppers).

Even if their company were an unremitting pleasure, the fact that they require so much company means that other sources of pleasure will all but disappear. Movies, theater, parties, travel--those are just a few of the English nouns that parents of young children quickly forget how to pronounce. We believe our children are our greatest joy, and we're absolutely right. When you have one joy, it's bound to be the greatest...
...sound like a downer. "But I can't tell you how many clients I have who went back to work and love it," says Dew.
