Mazatlan, Mexico
So on my actual birthday I took a road trip to Solvang, California but the big birthday trip I took was with my roommate Todd – whose birthday is also in February – to Mazatlan, Mexico.

El Quelite, Sinaloa
A tan sólo 38 kilómetros de Mazatlán se encuentra El Quelite, un poblado que debe su nombre a la hierba que se usa para consumo humano y animal. La comunidad se fundó casi por accidente, ya que en tiempos de la intervención francesa la vecina localidad de La Noria se quemó y orilló a sus pobladores a huir despavoridos y buscar otro lugar para establecerse. Fue así que al ver una zona llena de quelites, por la que atravesaba un río, cayeron en cuenta de que no había mejor augurio que éste, prometedor de comida y agua. Se llama quelite a un conjunto de plantas originarias de México, su nombre proviene del náhuatl “quilitl”, que significa hierba comestible; nacen en la sementera y son muy socorridas por sus beneficios nutricionales. Cuando están tiernos, se pueden preparar en sopa, en guisados y comerse en tacos con requesón. Una vez maduros, se dan a los animales del campo como alimento.
