I just returned to reading The People's Guide to Mexico web site, and was delighted to find this statement, by Editor-in-chief, Felisa (Churpa):
Favorite Blogs: My Mexican Kitchen
While researching the murky origins of the milanesa, I stumbled across My Mexican Kitchen, the work of an expat who lives in Michoacan. The blog features detailed and amusing restaurant reviews, with the occasional foray into a kitchen experiment, such as teaching local Mexican teenagers how to make pizza. The author seems to spend quite a bit of time in Mexico City, so if you’re planning a trip to the Big Enchilada, this would be a good place to start your culinary bucket list. He’s also a retired baker and thus provides discerning commentary on Mexican breads, which should be of interest to the bread nerds out there (Hello Carl!). To top it off, the photographs are great. Incidentally, the author, Don Cuevas, also writes another blog, Surviving La Vida Buena, which details his life in Michoacan and his travels around Mexico. Recommended for those of you who are contemplating retirement in Mexico and would like to know more about costs, rewards, and potential pitfalls of day-to-day life.

Great praise indeed -- from a great resource.
I met Carl Franz in San Miguel de Allende in 1979. He autographed my rather old copy of The People's Guide to Mexico. New staff? I need to check the website.
Very complimentary, very accurate, and very DESERVED!
Many thanks, Bixa.
Saludos,
Don Cuevas
