Mexican cuisine is primarily a fusion of indigenous Mesoamerican cooking with European, especially Spanish, elements added after the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in the 16th century. The basic staples remain native foods such as corn, beans and chili peppers, but the Europeans introduced a large number of other foods. The most important foods were meat from domesticated animals (beef, pork, chicken, goat and sheep), dairy products (especially cheese), and various herbs and lots of spices. While the Spanish initially tried to impose their own diet on the country, this was not possible and eventually the foods and cooking techniques began to be mixed, especially in colonial era convents. Over the centuries, this resulted in various regional cuisines, based on local conditions such as those in Oaxaca, Veracruz, and the Yucatán Peninsula. Mexican cuisine is closely tied to the culture, social structure and popular traditions of the country. The most important example of this connection is the use of mole for special occasions and holidays, particularly in the south and central regions of the country. For this reason and others, Mexican cuisine was added by UNESCO to its list of the world’s "intangible cultural heritage".

There are days when it seems we haven’t done anything important, but we forget how valuable it is to simply persevere. Because getting up, breathing, and moving forward is also an act of courage. On those gray days, remember that even when the sun seems to hide, it’s never truly gone.

Never lose your essence or that big heart you carry within, even when life brings disappointments. Your sensitivity is a gift, and your way of loving is a precious present.

Don’t let hardship dim your light or make you doubt who you are.
Guard your authenticity like you would a fire in the night. In the end, being true to yourself will bring you true peace. Your heart knows this. # ZINOT +026
