Roasted Red Pepper and Carrot Dip

Posted by admin on November 30, 2008

This is a dish that came together quite by chance – an excess of roasted vegetables and a need to do something with them.

Interesting Place # 87 – Mexico

According to the mayor of Aguascalientes in Mexico, police in the city must keep family photos in their wallet as a preventative measure against corruption.

(He hopes that the city’s 1,600 policemen will feel “shame” when they abuse their power. Maybe when they open their wallet to put the money in it?)
