In the aftermath of our back-to-back trips to Madrid and California, I’m feeling exhausted and my husband is sick. I’m pretty sure the 100+ degree heat had a lot to do with it.
That’s how hot it was in some places in California the week we were there.
But we did have a lot of fun, and it was gratifying to see friends and family we hadn’t seen in so many years.
And what about the food you ate, Angie?! What about the food?! Yes, I can hear you 😂
Well, my foodie fiesta friends… I had Menudo for the first time while in California.
I also had Pozole soup twice, from 2 different restaurants, while I was there. Because… how can you not order Pozole when you see it on the menu?!
Everything I had was excellent, I have to say. It’s very unlikely, though, that I will attempt Menudo at home – the cooking process seems rather complicated and lengthy – but Posole is doable. I’ve actually made it a couple of times before but the one I had at Alonzo’s was so much more flavorful. As soon as I feel well-rested, I’ll be tinkering in the kitchen.

Wooow, thank you for featuring mini pizzetta 🙂 You made my day and I can’t wait to come back to see all these great ideas and lovely recipes. Hugs 🙂
You’re welcome. The mini pizzetta looks fabulous! XO
It sounds as though you’ve been super-busy. I hope your husband feels better soon. The heat can really take its toll.
Thank you for hosting and for including my Dandelion Honey Alternative xx
Thanks and you’re welcome. I think we were all just exhausted from the travel and yes, the heat too. I’m excited to try the dandelion honey, but I have to wait till next spring!
hi Angie
It sounds like a great trip and I hope your husband is better!
I have never tried menudo but it looks good.
Thank you for hosting us all again and thank you Pauline for co hosting the best foodie party around!

Everybody is feeling better now, thanks! Menudo is not for the faint of heart – it has tripe in it! I was worried it’d be rubbery and chewy but in fact it was very tender and sorta silky. Very good!
Thank you for featuring my Keto Cupcakes recipe! 🙂 I hope you and your husband have recovered from your trips! The Menudo looks amazing – weird to be thinking of stews in this weather, but I reckon that will be a lovely winter warmer! Sim x
You’re welcome. They look fabulous! The weather in California was all over the place! You can drive from San Francisco, where I was shivering from the cold, to Sacramento, where the heatwave was, in mere 2 hours! That’s what got us all sick most likely, the drastic change in weather.
Summer and sunshine are the two best things! Hope you stay hydrated under the hot weather 😀
Oh hey, Pauline! Nice to “see” you. I was thinking that you were cohosting this past week but maybe I was mistaken – I was not feeling well at all. Let me know what week you’d like to cohost.
