Sox Shuffle Continues
Chicagoist checked out the National Museum of Mexican Art a few months ago, and if you haven't been, go.
Located in Pilsen, the museum offers a fascinating look at art from a country that often gets looked over in the arts world. Fortunately for those of us who enjoy the act of eating, no such slight exists with Mexican food, especially in Chicago.
We know you love eating Mexican food, as judged by the number of taquerias, nueva latino restaurants and late night spaces in Chicago, but can you cook it as well? If so, enter the NMOMA's recipe contest; as part of their 20th anniversary, the museum will be printing a cookbook, “Recetas de mi tierra,” and are actively soliciting recipe contributions. Organizers would like people to send in "their favorite home-style recipes that have survived their journey from Mexico," for possible inclusion in the cookbook. The winner will recipe a copy of the cookbook and "their place in history as a part of the 20th anniversary of the National Museum of Mexican Art."
You can download an entry form here.
Thanks to The Stew for the heads-up.

all my recipies are straight up from the rick bayless cookbook.
i'd like to see the homemade recipie list when it's done.
and apparenlty mole is very difficult to make.
You MUST go to NMOMA for the Dia de los Muertos displays when they have them. They have some of the artists there, making sugar skulls for you to purchase, too!!!
mmm sugar skulls. reminds me of venture brothers.
Here's a link to an awesome piece I read on Puebla, Mexico (the birthplace of mole or something like that) in the New York Times last year.
And Don Juan's on the Northwest Side has amaaaaaaazing mole. Eat up.
