Last week, my neighbor Marga gave me a cachetada. No, not a slap on the cheek! A cachetada is also a Mexican candy — similar to the dried fruit roll ups my kids used to eat, though I have a sneaking suspicion these may just be dried, dyed, and flavored sugar water. Here is mine, hanging out in Oaxaca.
