Mexican rice belongs to an unusual category of Mexican dishes called sopas secas, or “dry soups.”To make a sopa seca, slowly cook a starchy food such as rice, noodles, or cut-up tortillas in a soup broth. Eventually all the broth is absorbed by the starch, leaving “dry” soup. Dry soups are served as a separate course before the meat course.

New Zealand is blessed with awesome seafood selections, yummy fish and chips, bluff oysters that’s to-die-for (accompanied by a glass of Oyster Bay Chardonnay) and heaps of cheap green lipped mussels. Those mussels are so fresh, extremely large in size that some are almost as big as the palm of my hand with big fat juicy meat inside. The best way to cook them is in white wine to keep them stay juicy and sweet. Whoa, just talking about them makes my mouth waters…. I never thought I would enjoy mussels so much in my life.
This recipe is adopted from a Greek-style mussel recipe. Best served for brunch - but I’ll have them as appetizer for dinner tonight.
The word taco actually means “snack” in Spanish, but this word is used for one dish in particular. A taco is a sandwich like snack made with tortillas, a meat or bean filling, garnish, and spicy sauce. You may find taco shells, or folded and fried tortillas, in U.S. supermarkets, but you won’t find them in Mexico. Mexicans do sometimes fry tacos, filling and all, and then eat the snacks while still hot.
Antipasto is an Italian word that comes from Latin. Ante means “before”and pasto means “pasta”or “dough.”Antipasto is, therefore, what diners eat before the pasta.*
