Gracias a mis dos nuevos miembros, @farahfactory y @deathgrower , continuaré la guía que comencé en mi última publicación. Allí hablamos del paso más difícil para crear una cuenta y empezar a bloguear

I've done it again! I made a dish that I've been wanting to post about, and only in the end did I take a picture of it - not even thinking about my blog, I just wanted to send it to a friend. So it's not

He logrado mi primer onboarding con éxito, y ya hay otra interesada: mi amigo @farahfactory, que se unió recientemente, tiene un amigo que también quiere blogear en Hive. ¡Claro! Así que, por fin, es hora

During my eight years on Hive I've been trying over and over again to convince others to join. I don't mean the frantic, pushy proselytizing that I'm sure would not work anyway, but instead sharing my

Cannabis en México

This is NOT a response to the weekly question by HiveLearners, posted for last week. After all, the deadline has passed, plus I would not qualify anyway for not complying with all the rules. But that's

The point of Salsa music is to provide a nice steady rhythm to dance to. This way you can listen to the same song hundreds of times, bringing an inadvertent movement to your feet, even if you don't pay

So I just got a new phone the other day. It was about time, as many say, since my last one had served me well, for about seven and a half years. In fact, there still is nothing wrong with it, except for

Welcome to la Roma, the most famously gentrified neighborhood of Mexico City. Of course, it's not the only such socially stratified colonia, but this is the one that crossed from the typical to the

Since I didn't consider my last post the kind of street art that would be fitting for the weekly CCC's Street Art Contest, here is an actual mural that I found only two blocks from the Olmec head crushing

Yesterday I ventured into the hip and fashionable Roma neighborhood of Mexico City for a Saturday brunch. Unwittingly, I happened to pass by a sculpture that I'd seen before in numerous posts on social

Not too far from where I live in Mexico City you can find the neighborhood of Tacubaya. With its converging metro lines and numerous bus lines, the place has sprouted and maintained a multitude of vendors,

Recently I got to try some very fine tasting beers from the Cervezería Colima. At a ver unassuming-looking eatery, where they serve tacos de guisado, that is various cooked dishes that you can pick up

Lately Bruce Springsteen has been talked about quite a lot in social media. The reason for this is not so much his music, but a statement he made about Donald Trump and the current political situation

As much as I love sharing what I consider great music that many people may not know, I also love discovering great music that I'm certain hardly anyone knows. Because let's be honest: most of the artists

The other day I passed by one of the many painted walls in Mexico City's Mixcoac neighborhood (on Los Echave, close to the corner of Charco Azul.) It was made up of various sections, probably created by

Just recently I posted about Bob Dylan, which in turn inspired me to introduce his influence, Woody Guthrie. Since that post focused entirely on his music, I thought I should talk more about the man and

Last week I got to see the new Bob Dylan movie. I quite enjoyed it actually, and I don't think it was nowhere as bad as some of the opinions of other folks I saw floating around. At some point I may even

I recently saw the new dramatic biography A Complete Unknown about Bob Dylan's rise to fame in the 1960's. It was not as bad as many had claimed, at least I quite liked it. However it wasn't nearly as

Murals tend to come and go. I'm sure most of the ones featured in my Mexican Murals series have been painted over long ago, and in some cases even the walls themselves that carried the images are gone.
