Up until last week, under semáforo rojo (red stoplight), dining at Oaxaca’s much celebrated restaurants had been prohibited and food-to-go became a new and popular option. The Facebook group, Taste Of Oaxaca! soon was filled with restaurant takeout and/or delivery menu options. It was really quite wonderful to see how creative restaurants and chefs became in trying to maintain their businesses, keep staff employed, and meet the needs of their clientele. However, I was blessed with an alternative — mi amiga y vecina (my friend and neighbor), Kalisa, whose passion is cooking and sharing her flavorful fare.
While living in the age of Covid-19, at least I’ve been eating well — and this is just a small sample! By the way, rumor has it that tonight I will be going up and over the rooftop with my bowl in hand for pozole rojo. Yummm…

Ooh you’re killing me. I wish I was there.
I may be enjoying delicious and beautifully plated dinners, but life is otherwise extremely uneventful. 😉
Wow, I think you’re eating better than us gringas (y gringos!) here in Texas…and our restaurants are open (with limited capacity of course)! She must be some great cook… you are very lucky indeed!
Yes, she’s a terrific cook and loves doing it!
Wouldn’t mind having the recipe for the goat cheese lasagna. It looks fabulous. Lucky you.
I’ll ask her!
I’m sorry, she made it up as she went along and can’t give me a recipe — her advice being use the best ingredients, including lasagne noodles and making a good béchamel. As for other ingredients… tI think there was spinach, other cheese, and was topped with parsley and pine nuts. Hope this helps!
Lucky you! It all looks wonderful.
Yes, delicious. Lucky me, indeed!
Estoy muy Celoso !
¡Jejeje! I hope all is well up your way.
