Glorious Mexican Food!

So, for one I am changing my "daily" tag to "general" since I am having trouble getting on here daily.

Okay, so the movie I went and saw, "Mother!"
Well...
I went into it woth absolutely no prior knowledge other than the trailer I linked in my last blog. Literally. A colleague texted and said Hey you want to go see this movie and I thought "What the hell is that?"
Trailer was watched.
Okay, looks creepy.

So 5 minutes into this movie, I'm hooked, because I am looking at it from the standpoint of What the hell is going on here?! because characters were not interacting correctly, and the setting was strange, and I had all kinds of theories running through my head. All of which were way wrong. I felt like there was one piece of super important information I was missing most of the way through the movie.

SPOILER ALERT (I don't know how to do the nifty covered text for spoilers, so I'll just do a text color and background match, so you can highlight it to see it if you want to read this part):

The missing piece was that the whole movie is a rather dark interpretation of judeo-christian mythology. Pretty much everything and everyone has some kind of parallel in either the christian bible, or to history and current issues with the condition of the planet and how we treat it. The metaphors were abundant and had me holding the sides of my head mouthing what the fuck is going on. I mean, from the moment that Jennifer Lawrence's character (Mother) wakes up after being recreated from the ashes (which is how the damned film starts) it is genesis and moves on until there is a whole baby eating cannibalism scene (Jesus) with masses of people and really bloody wars that are destroying the house (Earth). I could probably spend a large chunk of several pages analyzing, but you get the idea.

Aaron, my colleage, her two roommates and I spent a good hour or three interpreting and discussing afterward. The wine helped with this.

Ari, if you are reading, it's way super squiggy in several parts, just FYI.


And as for the title of the entry today, behold!

They didn't have any chile, of course. Instead, they had a strange (but spicy and yummy) green or red "sauce". So, we had to drive to Kennet Square, located in Pennsylvania, for decent Mexican. Now revel in that sentence for a moment.

Go ahead, I'll give you a minute to reread it.

So, Kennet Square apparently is home to a large Mexican migrant worker community, and thus, there are many mexican restaurants in the area. It's not NEW Mexican, but god, it was closer than I thought we'd ever find out here. The tacos were awesome, the tamales were good (if a little sweet), and you'll have to ask Aaron about the burrito smothered in the "green sauce" because I didn't get any of that.

Bonus, I made these for dessert:
