    One thing my husband and I really missed the year we were lived in England was good Mexican food. They have Mexican restaurants there but in our experience, they were nothing like what we were used to back home. (Although they can knock the park out when it comes to Indian curries!!)

    I think in the month we've been back in the States we're probably gone out to Mexican restaurants at least ten times-no exaggeration. Luckily for me (and our budget), my small advanced shipment from the UK with all my cookware arrives today, I can't wait to get cooking Mexican at home in the Instant Pot!
