Don’t miss the chance to celebrate Day of the Dead, Día de los muertos! I am thinking of trying to make a special dish called Pipián; it’s like a green, Mexican mole that calls for pumpkin seeds. My grandmother used to make a tasty Pipián. Since my abuelito passed this summer, I think this holiday is the perfect opportunity to try a new family recipe and honor his life.

And, if you’d like to go to a food and cooking demo, check out Surfas this weekend! After enjoying my delish pipián, I plan to go to the Self Help Graphics hosted event at the EastLA Civic Center. I also hope to get the chance to visit Rosa Mexicano at LA Live for their special DOD menu before it’s too late!
