Recapturing Childhood Through Sopapillas

Some of my fondest childhood memories surround family birthdays spent at our local Poncho's restaurant. They are memories of light filtered through glass sun-catchers, and of over-sized sombreros perched above smiling faces. They memories of small children clutching piñatas carefully selected from its perch on the wall dividers throughout the restaurant; a piñata that inevitably hung from a bedroom ceiling until it fell to pieces. Above all, they are memories full of delicious Mexican food which included my personal favorite: fresh sopapillas with honey.
