I came out with a jar of caperberries, Spanish almond-egg nougat, Spanish paprika, a Mexican worry doll, and--because owner Joe gave me an informative and compelling introduction to the alebrije art form--a way-beyond-my-budget beautiful alebrije, whose soulful eyes had caught mine! I'd had an enjoyable trip around the world, my kitchen is filled with tasty goodies, and my alebrije engaged me with amidstad over my first coffee of the day. Amistad is a/the? most enjoyable and extraordinary shop on Ashland's Main Street!
