I Love Presents!

Sorry readers... It's been WAY too long since my last post.
Don't worry, I have lots of photos that are lining up to be posted in eatwithjoe.com!

Last week, I got two packages in the mail. One from my cousin Justine and one from my buddy Joey (JTI).



Cousin Justine thought that I need a glass mug in my life, so she mailed me one! She packaged it with handles, made it easier for the UPS guy to carry around the neighborhood.



Great gift! Thanks Couz!



My new official coffee mug! looks great with my highlighters!



Joey aka Joey the Intern, was the famous URB magazine intern... After Peace Corp, he moved to Northern California and then... he became Joey the Baker! Joey made a batch of chocolate chunk and walnut cookies and he wanted me to try some. So I ate some and it was surely delicious. Beth even said that the cookies taste like the cookies her mom would make! Good job Joey! We want MORE !!!





I love presents! feel free to mail me things so I can take photos and write about it! Maybe eat it too!

Thanks again, Justine and Joey!

My Lunch is Better Than Yours! Tamales and Pozole

This post is dedicated to two awesome Hispanic ladies that made this possible, Vanesa's Mom and Anna!!! BIG THANKS TO Y'ALL!!! for bringing out the Mexican in me.

Anna, our office cleaning staff brought us two bags of tamales from La Estrella (a well known Mexican restaurant in Pasadena). I gotta say, that was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done! She wouldn't even take our money... and the tamales were really damn good! Thanks Anna!



a little internet planking fun :)





smokey chipotle hot sauce is the bomb!



Also, thanks to Vanesa's mom, we got to try this ethnic version of homemade mexican soup! Pozole!





Pozole is a Mexican soup with spices, pork and corn harmony. Well, at least that's what was in my soup hah. It feels like eating menudo, except it was made with green sauce and it didn't have the intestines and tripes... but it was really good nonetheless.

Can we have Mexican food day everyday?
