thank you for your comment nck. sadly, you rather missed the point. While we definitely aren’t above making cheap gags at the expense of people who can’t fight back, my remark about Terri Schiavo was certainly not a joke. Her situation was without doubt a terrible personal & family tragedy, but it was not something upon which a national election should be decided.

Jokes about Shiavo. Real fucking funny. Stick with recipes about dishes you make sure are “in” and “happening”. That way you never have an original opinion, ever.

I’m making sopes today, so I was searching the web for some ideas, and linked here. Ha, I would have come here to your site anyway today.
Your sopes look terrific.

Sopes were invented to cure hangovers you know? There is a tiny taqueria here in portland who makes a mean sope! (Not as mean as my itty bitty mexican mother’s of course but pretty damn close!)
Thank you for giving sopes the credit they deserve. They are so underrated, the poor little guys!

Love making this stuff even if it makes me a bit nervous… We fry it in copious amounts of lard

yeah, def. heard of chalupas. this is getting interesting w/ all the different cornmeal-fried things available. i’m thinking we may need to do a blog post on just that! the main diff. i found w/ chalupas vs. sopes is the size and width of them. chalupas are much thinner and is usually stuffed. great comment!

I have never heard of sopes, but it does look a lot like pollenta.
I just love your plating, that food looks really great. Have not done much Mexican food, but will have to try this out for the family.
