Luckily, there are several places to buy food in town, my apartment has a great kitchen, and I have a lovely little balcony with a table for my dining pleasure! I usually shop at the closest large grocery store, called Chedraui, and the central market. But I sometimes go to other places like the Mega, a large grocery/department store that's popular with expats and cruise ships passengers. Or other small specialty stores.
My kitchen is well equipped. There's a flat top stove, refrigerator,
microwave, double sink, modern cabinets, and a nice variety of pots,
pans, utensils, etc. It even has a dishwasher and a wall oven. I've
never used the dishwasher, but I actually used the oven for the 1st time
this year!
When I arrive each year, I buy staples for cooking like oil, hot sauce, and balsamic vinegar. I buy ingredients for cooking meals about every 3-4 days, as needed. My menu is fairly simple because I only buy a small assortment of condiments/spices/ingredients. Also because I prefer to spend my time doing things other than cooking!Pictures

2- Some of my favourite ingredients. The dark green pepper is a poblano pepper. It's hotter than a normal green pepper but not as hot as a jalapeno. It gives things like fajitas and spaghetti sauce a great little kick! Wikipedia says it's used to make chiles rellenos, chipotle peppers, and mole sauces.The little yellow fruits are guayabas. They taste a bit like pears. On the left is a small zuchini. I love the mini bananas!3 - More of my favourite ingredients. I bought avocado oil for the first time. This one is spiced. Lovely!
4 - I used the oven for the first time to bake beets for my smoothies. Messy. But yummy!
5 - Some cute kiddy grocery carts
