Musings from happy cooks :o)

Apples, Pumpkins, and Great Fall Feelings

Ah! Fall and all of the magnificence that goes with it especially right here in the White Mountains nestled in Littleton, New Hampshire. Crisp leaves, fresh air, unbeatably bright blue skies, and pumpkin everything is everywhere.  You can see a peak of the beautiful foliage right here on this webcam.

Right here on Main Street,  you can feel the happiness as people walk the downtown and take those last deep breaths of the warm air that precedes the cold that will soon grip all of us.​ There are so many things to see and do in our downtown, crafts, pastries, food, art, etc, there really is something for everyone.  

At Alburrito's, we're gearing up for the season with many different specials including a steaming pumpkin chili as well as a traditional sopapilla served with warm apple crisp on top and there are still a lot of people enjoying our outdoor patio seating that overlooks Main Street. We LOVE to cook and share our passion with you.

Let's Talk Corn

Okay, so today we're going to talk about Corn! 

Corn is a staple in Mexican cuisine and some might go so far as to say that corn is the "Cornerstone"(hehehe) of Mexican cuisine.  We say here at Alburrito's that Corn is LIFE!! Corn dates all the way back to the Aztec and Mayan civilizations, though it barely resembles the corn that we know today.  

FUN FACT: The tamale was considered "sacred" to the Aztec civilization and in some areas of Mexico - it still is!

Today, an up and coming popular food is ELOTE - or simply corn in Spanish.  Elote has come to be known in the Americas as a corn on the cob served with a spicy aioli, fresh herbs, and cheese on it.  Getting it roots in Mexico City - a city that is praised as one of the "most significant places on earth in terms of street food," elote has made it's way to the United States and has been met with open arms, mouths, and hearts coming out of food trucks on the West Coast and beyond!!!

We are currently offering our own version of ELOTE!
Come and give it a try.
