Beginnings

As three pitchers of homemade horchata sit in my fridge, I realize I'm about to start quite an experience with this blog. My goal is to inform myself, and that guy who stumbled across my page at 3 a.m. in an effort to find nibblinnipples.com, about the influence of this stuff we call "Mexican food." Why? Simply because food is a necessity in our daily lives. Less simply, because food in itself is diverse, and I believe that diversity shows up in our culture(s). In the Southwest, there is 24-7 access to Mexican food, making it a reliable dietary stand-by. Because I'm starting to realize the connections between life, food and culture, I now want to further understand the Mexican culture I embrace when I inhale five rolled tacos with guac. and cheese every other night.
In essence, this blog is one part a culture study and one part a celebration of diversity in food.
