Sikil Pak ~ Pumpkinseed Dip

This past September, my brother, Chris, went to Chicago to visit my cousin and her family. Chris has a similar love for fresh Mexican food, so I knew it wouldn’t be hard to convince him to visit one of Rick Bayless’ restaurants.

My expertise on Chicago’s food scene is sadly limited to what is available at O’Hare International Airport, but I know that a visit to Chicago for a Mexican food lover would not be complete without a stop at one of Bayless’ famed eateries.

If you talk to me for only five minutes, you will quickly realize two things. One. I love sunshine. Two. I really dislike cold weather. So, it is no surprise that in the dead of winter I think about sunshine ALL-THE-TIME, and I dream about every possible way that I can make my days warmer until summer is finally here. I can’t think of a better way to brighten these gray days than drinking sunshine in a glass.
