Seats 12D, E, and F on the Washington, DC to Frankfurt American Airlines Flight. Otherwise known as the infant seat row.<br />
<br />
The premise: If you can get the first row of the coach section the wonderful people at the airline will give you a basket for your infant to stretch out and sleep in for as long as humanly possible during the flight.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The catch:
You cannot request the infant row in advance. You must show up at the
airport 2-3 hours before your flight and hope and pray you are faster
than the other poor parents traveling with infants.</div>

After spending nearly 4 months trying to lose the baby weight, I spent the following 4 months putting on some pastry weight. Our neighborhood bakery is about 4 blocks down from our apartment and opens at 6am. I got into a nasty habit of stopping by before work for my <strike>weekly</strike> daily cinnamon roll and coffee.</div>

How did I maintain my expensive once daily cinnamon roll and fresh bread habit you ask? Well, on top of being delicious, it's also super cheap. So yay for my belly, and yay for my thighs. Bring on the cinnamon rolls. And the sugar donuts. And the regular donuts. And the baklava.Ella La Guerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17127877277283455000noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142219899973954845.post-87223482496259242722016-01-08T09:24:00.000-07:002016-01-08T09:24:18.439-07:00What boardshop?<div>

Who knew Athens was such a mecca for coffee lovers?<br />
<br />
We got off the plane from America, picked up our 1,800 suitcases, hitched a ride to our new home, then immediately went in search of a coffee. Upon arrival (to unfortunate coffee shop we now plan on frequenting often with our baby) we discovered this magical coffee drink called Freddo Cappucino. It appears to be a few shots of espresso, a rather frothy light milk, all over a glass of ice. Add your desired amount of sugar (I prefer cinammon) and you're ready to go. <br />

The tigre is no exception to this tradition. He is also a skilled ponche producer. Thus making me a skilled ponche consumer.<br />

Teotihuacan is an ancient Mesoamerican city located about 30 miles north of Mexico City. And its a great day trip if you are in the Mexico City area. Tons of history and great exercise. The views are expansive and beautiful. And lots of vendors selling trinkets. Think steps galore.<br />

Did I mention the steps? If you make it to the top this is what you get to see. Pretty awesome. Also, maybe don't wear black pants and a sweatshirt if you go in August. Not one of my best ideas.<br />

So Rompope is a bit difficult to describe. The tigre is a big fan of rompope, la guera not so much. My husband likens it to eggnog but I do not see any similarities other than the fact that they are both liquids. So why don't we just let wikipedia describe it for us: <b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Rompope</b> is an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggnog" title="Eggnog">eggnog</a>-like drink made with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_%28food%29" title="Egg (food)">eggs</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk" title="Milk">milk</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanilla" title="Vanilla">vanilla</a> flavouring. The <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_yolk" title="Egg yolk">egg yolks</a> impart a yellow hue to the emulsified beverage. It is a traditional drink known as such in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costa_Rica" title="Costa Rica">Costa Rica</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaragua" title="Nicaragua">Nicaragua</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Salvador" title="El Salvador">El Salvador</a> and particularly in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico" title="Mexico">Mexico</a>, where, it is believed to have been originally made in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convent" title="Convent">convents</a> of the city of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puebla,_Puebla" title="Puebla, Puebla">Puebla</a>.<br />

Oh snap! Tomala guera. I guess it is like eggnog. I still prefer American eggnog.

La Cabana, otherwise known as yet another meat heaven. The tigre and his family often meet up for family dinner at this delightfully meaty restaurant. I always get the tacos. Simple and no fuss with lots of aluminum foil (lower left). I cut up the avocado and put them on the plain carne tacos before devouring the baked potato. Yummmm. You can also see some of the other dishes on the menu at La Cabana below.<br />

The tigre and I have an El Paso date night tradition: I pick up a delicious and "healthy" "salad" from Chipotle and take it to Five Guys where he gets a hamburger and fries. It's win win. I get the feeling that I am eating something healthy yet tasty and he still gets his burger. It's all very romantic.<br />

Also, at Five Guys you can get one of a thousand different drinks from the cool old timey Coca Cola machine. The tigre loves this machine, so many different options, he always ends up getting a coke... <br />

The tigre and I have tried a multitude of Chinese restaurants in Juarez. While he seems to be happy with all of them, my tastes, with regard to this cuisine at least, appear to be a bit more discerning. That is why I had low expectations for the Bamboo Garden that opened not too far from our house.<br />

This is a buffet style eating experience with many many options. I tried the traditional pouring of the bright pink sweet sauce over the fried chicken tenders, otherwise known as sweet and sour chicken, as well as some chicken and broccoli and noodles.

I don't want to leave you with the impression that this is a terrible restaurant. No, they do a very good job of recreating terrible Americanized Chinese food.<br />

The tigre generally orders a torta de milanesa and says its delicious. I ALWAYS order the mixed flautas. Dos de potato and dos de carne. They arrive to the table perfectly fried and drenched in crema with cheese, tomatoes, aguacates, and lettuce on top. Of course I have convinced myself that because I can eat the top of the flautas like a salad it is somehow healthy. Please see above. Obviously a salad.<br />

Many people are under the impression that there is no culture in Juarez. They could not be more wrong! Example: Museo de la Revolucion. The tigre and I were able to convince the couple Frenchman to join us on a tour of the aforementioned museum after a morning brunch at <a href="http://guerinchi.blogspot.com/2014/12/la-nueva-cafe-central-downtown.html" target="_blank">Cafe Central</a>. <br />

I believe the museum was converted from government space several years ago. Each room is devoted to different aspects of Juarez and Mexico during the Mexican revolution. I think. You'll have to come check it out to know for sure.<br />

My husband, the tigre, and many more Juarenses are alitas happy. There's a plethora of alitas restaurants within a 5 mile radius of our house and I think the tigre is out to try every one of them. Thus when he spotted this new Wing Stop he wanted to try it.<br />

And the food ain't bad either. The fries are delicious. The alitas are fingerlicking good according to the tigre. And the chicken quesadillas are best left unordered. Hey, you can't be good at everything. Order fries and wings and you'll have a tasty, enjoyable time.<br />

The blog has been seriously neglected for a few months. But I swear the hiatus is well justified. Not only have I seen my last Mexican clown for awhile, but I also produced a tiny human being. And let me tell you, that is a rather time consuming endeavor.<br />

Now that it feels like I have a modicum of both control over life and a
few hours of the day, I'm going to try and get back to posting. I have a
bit more about Mexico that I'd like to get up and then I'll move on to DC, where we are now, and finally onto Greece, our future home.Ella La Guerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17127877277283455000noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142219899973954845.post-18737649940708392902015-01-17T09:20:00.000-07:002015-01-17T09:20:32.376-07:00Good Ol' Football (The American Kind)<br />

Yup, we drove the 30 minutes to UTEP and watched a college football game. I haven't been to too many of these but they aren't so different from the fifty billion high school football games I went to since I was in the band. Yay band! The tigre wanted to go because he had never been to a game and he wanted to root for his alma matter before we head out. <br />

You might think this picture was taken in El Paso. Well, yet again, you would be wrong. You are not very good at guessing things about my blog. This rather popular Auto Zone is here for your auto needs in Juarez. They have everything from one car thing to many other car things. Just look at all those aisles full of car things. If you can't tell, I don't know a lot about cars.<br />

I've never not gone bowling in such a trendy bowling alley. One of the chavalillos wanted to go bowling for his birthday so we all headed over to Strikers, the newest, trendiest bowling alley in Juarez. It's so trendy, you can't even bowl. Unbeknownst to us it was league night when we went so there were no lanes available. Ni modo! We grabbed a few tables, a few micheladas, and the chavalillos disappeared to the rather elaborate play area. <br />

Barrigas is quite the chain restaurant in the El Paso Juarez community. There's one right by where we work, one on the ever-trendy Gomez Morin, and another one somewhere else, along with several in El Paso. This is your typical northern Mexican food experience. A little like an upscale Chili's.<br />

They have a big menu with lots of options. I like to order the skirt steak with melted cheese on top and then scoop on piles of guacamole. Man, I'm really gonna miss Mexico. I was so hungry and the steak was so delectable that I forgot to take the picture until halfway through eating it. Sorry.<br />

You don't. These friendly dudes do it for you. You just pull up, turn your car off, tell the friendly dude something like: 'doscientos de la verde', and then he magically pumps gas into your car. Not a bad system. Makes me feel like I'm in New Jersey.<br />

So I might have a new obsession. The tigre discovered there's <i>another</i> Cafe Central and this one is but a few miles from our house. As you can imagine, with pregnancy cravings and our impending departure, we frequent the establishment rather regularly these days.<br />
<br />
I'm a fan of the cafe con leche and always order a simon (pronounced see-mon), otherwise known as a cinammon roll. The tigre goes for menudo<br />

But that's only round 1. I also go for either the chilaquiles or an egg burrito. I don't know how, but this egg burrito is somehow better than any other egg burrito I've ever had. Fresh tortilla perhaps? Deliciously scrambed eggs? Menonite queso? Or just the simplicity of the whole thing? I do not know, but it is delicious. The chilaquiles are good too.<br />

The tigre sometimes gets an omelet for round 2 but more often goes for the huevos rancheros.<br />

We aren't the only ones who figured out there's a centrally located Cafe Central. This place is always hopping. Literally, its 24 hours. I'm dying to try their Chinese food. <br />

We all know Quest Diagnostics is where we have to go to give blood or take some kind of unpleasant medical exam. Well, you can take your unpleasant medical exam at Quest Diagnostics in Juarez as well. I recently went to Quest to get my glucose exam done. Fun test.<br />
<br />
It may not look great on the outside, but the inside is very nice and they know what they are doing. For the glucose test you have to drink a super sugary liquid then wait an hour and then they take your blood. At this Quest they have a special room for you to relax in, with Lazy Boys. And the best part - you can pick up your results the next day after 5pm. No pesky waiting 5 days. No pesky waiting on the doctor for your results. Good times, considering you have to get poked with a needle.<br />
