Feliz Día de la Independencia Mexico! by the way the chiles en nogada does do a good job looking like Mexico's flag but also looks like a Christmas cake.

I have yet to try Chiles Rellenos en Nogada. Winning independence from any kind of oppression is a good reason to go find the dish. Plain hunger is good enough reason for me. I am not being unpatriotic here focusing on the food aspect of your story. I am simply dazzled by the Pulitzer short list. Saludos!

Thanks Elva. Once I win the Pulitzer, I will host a giant Chiles en Nogada banquet for all my readers. You of course will have a position at the head of the table.
