Hi there again.
Those pictures look good. I wish my family

keep up the good work. -Joshua
Comments
Hi There -
Thanks! I have been adding some pictures
every time I make something. The links are
on the main page -- Melanie
Comments
Hey your
receipes look real good. I ought to tyr some
of them. But one thing I think would make it
better is put the pictures of the foods on
it. Thank you

Buenos Dias,
Melanie! I see you made a new friend! :) Let
me see if I have this right... it's your
site.. and your recipes.. so it only makes
sense that you would post your favorites..
and you thought enough about all the rest of
us to take the time to share .. and if
there's something I need a recipe for that's
*not* here, all I have to do is ask.. I know
I may not be the sharpest knife in the
drawer, but I really don't understand what
they are ranting and raving about. Hmmmm....
my Spanish is still not quite what it should
be... is there a Spanish word for moron??
<wg> I'd leave his comment there, just for
some comic relief! :) ... but, don't let
them get ya down.. It a great site! You've
done a wonderful job with it.. And I love
the cookbook! Muchas Gracias! 'Hawk
Comments
Yes, whoever
you are, I do think about other people. If
you had asked for a recipe you wanted, I
would have posted it. There is no need to
insult me. Melanie
Comments
what the hell
are you thinking??? i need to know the whole
recipe for something!!! and i need more that
just your favorites, what about something i
like????? did you ever think about anyone
else???
Comments
I'm so glad you
like the music! I did a Google search for
Mexican Midi files and downloaded the ones I
liked. Most of the melodies here (except for
Marc Anthony's I need to know,
Margaritaville, and Tequila are old Mexican
tunes, mostly dating back to the Mexican
revolution. I also did a search on Polish
Polkas for my genealogy website and found
some great ones! ---- Melanie
Comments
Mel, can you
please tell me who the musicians are on your
home page. I just think that music is
WONDERFUL! ttotsis@yahoo.com. Your website
is great! Tina Kouyoumtjian

Hi There - I
have placed instructions on the order page
to order by check. I will ask my
sister-in-law about the mole de olla. I know
what you're talking about but it isn't in my
book. Guess I'll just have to subject my
family to a new recipe LOL - Melanie
Comments
It looks really
good. I would like to order your cook book,
but I prefer to send a check. I was born in
Mexico City, and I lived in Puebla for about
9 years as a little girl. Now I live her in
the U.S. I remember my grandmother would
make what she called "mole de olla" would
you know how to make that recipe. It was not
the consistency of mole but it was more like
a soup which had chiken, carrots, squash,
corn on the cob and a side dish of Mexican
red rice. It was really good. I miss Mexican
food very much. I really can't stand the
TEX-MEX cooking. My e-mail is
rebgue_2000@yahoo
Comments
Your website is
very informative with a slpash of mexican
spice.
Comments
I will try to
start taking pictures each time I make
something. Thanks for the suggestion!
Melanie
Comments
I like your
site, but what I liked to see, are pitures
of the actual "platos de comida" because
many times we like to eat what we see looks
good... Yes it may not look good, but it
might taste good, but for the people who are
visual - it may just help us a bit. Para
saboriar la comida! jijiji. Well, keep up
the good work! :-)

how to get
recipes
Comments
Hi Mel - I am
so glad I found your site! I knew a woman
who made a wonderful red posole and could
never find a recipe to my memory of her
using chili pods soaked in water. I finally
found yours, woohoo! She has passed away, so
I couldn't ask her for the recipe, so I was
left on my own to find it. Thank you so much
- my memory *is* intact afterall! Helaine
Comments
I think this is
a wonderful site, hope you can add more
recipes. I want to know if your book is
available in Mexico and where can I order
it. Thanks. My e-mail is palomo38@hotmail.com.

Great site! I
lived in Mexico for a year and I really miss

Campechano
means a mixture of shellfish. When you ask
for a campechano, you're asking for at least
2 varieties in one glass. Shrimp cocktail
would just be coctel de camaron. Hot sauce
for Pozole is generally made from either
chile piquin or chile de arbol. The chiles
are soaked in hot water, then liquified.
Some people also add a little bit of the
pozole to the blender to give the sauce
body. Also, white pozole has garlic in it, a
LOT of garlic. I use 3 heads of garlic to
about 5 pounds of meat to one kilo (dry) of
hominy. Guacamole generally has lime juice
in it to retard browning and add flavor.
Comments
I am really
interested in getting your recipes. However,
I do not have a credit card. Is there any
way I can get them? I am a young hispanic
woman that always gets clowned on because I
cannot cook. I want to show my family I too
can cook a plate like my abuelita. Please
help me !!!!!!! BabyMelody2000@yahoo.com
Comments
Mel, Do you
have a recipe for a potato salad made with
cream or milk, not vinegar, that I have had
in a Mexican seafood place in Chicago. I
can't find a recipe like this anywhere.
Susan, thanks
Comments

Web-site is
great! I'm looking for a recipe on how to
make verduladas? I don't even know if thats
the correct way to say or spell it. I've
eaten them before and they're awesome but
can't find any information on them. It's
been years since I've eaten them looking
forward to seeing then on your website.

Mel- Thanks so
much for your awesome web site and recipies!
I found you through the Prodigy link! We
live in Charlotte, NC and have a hard time
finding truly "authentic" mexican food. We
used to live in Detroit, and miss our
favorite place there. They had the best
cheese enchiladas- made with white cheese,
similar to muenster, we surmised. We've
tried to make them the same way but we're
missing that special "something"! They also
had a great botana "nacho" dish, with beans
and avacado and sliced onions. We've also
come close to it- but no cigar! We still
dream about this place! Everything there is
fabulous. the place is called "The Mexican
Fiesta" on Ford and Telegraph Roads in
Detroit. If you ever get there, or can get
them to share some secrets with you- let me
know!!!
Thanks again, Mel! We'll be trying your
recipies this week!!! Kristen Haynes,

Great site. I've used two of your recipies
so far and am very pleased. Tonight we try
your Mango Ice Cream.
Comments
Hello Mel. I
got your email and was so happy to 'see' you
again! I remember you very well from the old
Classic service and always wondered where
you were and if you ever published the book
you spoke about to us. Drop by and see me,
and a lot of names you might remember, at
www.eclix.net at the Food bb there.

Hi Mel,
Nice to finally
meet you! I'm the current Food BB leader on
Prodigy Internet and wanted to check out
your great page of recipes. BTW, I took some
of your recipes from the Classic BB and
posted them to the Food & Wine Community
Page along with linking to your page. Check
it out when you get the chance.
Enjoy,
Bill, PI Food BB

Hi Mel - Like Freddie, I came to Prodigy's
food bb just after you left, but luckily I
caught up with a great group of your
recipes. Great website here and thanks (on
behalf of me and my family/friends) for all
the great food ideas. Craig

Hi Mel: I got on the old Prodigy Classic,
just after you left. Yesterday I made Mel's
Creme de Jalapeno soup, I think that's the
right name. Delicious. We've been talking
about you on Prodigy's new Food & Wine BB.
Great to find you here! Freddie Johnson
