In case you missed this weeks facebook post, I decided to promote the recipe I use for Caarne Asada. Here is the post:

This week, Greg was treated to a celebration of Mexican Independence Day that included musical and dance performances and delicious food. The celebration was held at Riverside Community College in recognition of Mexico’s revolt against Spain’s 300-year rule, which began on September 16, 1810.

Impressing a 19-year-old college student isn’t easy, so when he shared a video of the musicians and exclaimed that the music was beautiful, I knew they must be good. He was equally impressed with the Carne Asada Burrito, but I chalked that up to being a 19-year-old boy, and all food is good.

That evening, he treated me to the ‘history-of-Mexico’ lecture, which paired well with the carne asada dinner. His informational insight included the 300 years of Spanish oppression, France’s takeover because of an unpaid pastry bill, and his and Andulka’s great-grandmother’s time with Pancho Villa… which led her to live in Southern California.

In honor of Mexican Independence Day and an interesting heritage, here is a recipe for Carne Asada from Mangia by Pia – It’s Not All About the Food: Carne Asada
