My recent travels to Oaxaca have introduced me to some very interesting ingredients, sal de gusano being one of my all-time favorites. Sal de gusano, or "worm salt", is quite literally ground up sea salt, worms and chiles. These aren't just any worms, they are maguey worms which are actually caterpillars that feed on maguey and agave plants. I know it sounds a wee bit scaryArtelexiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07555302134160210253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594846490972596056.post-34824641866617113282016-04-11T10:31:00.001-07:002016-04-12T00:34:04.446-07:00Oaxaca // National Geographic

Who doesn't love a good party favor?! I know I do. They take me back to my childhood when you'd be handed a goodie bag at the end of a birthday party. I couldn't wait to see what was in mine! They'd be filled with stickers, candy, toys, confetti and such. They weren't ever anything fancy but it didn't matter - it was a goodie bag!!

Check out some of our favorite insta pics of the hotel and a handful of his illustrations. See more of his works here and here!
