Pan de Muerto @ Northgate Market
Día de los Muertos is celebrated November 1 and 2. Family and friends gather to remember those who have died. Pan de muerto is eaten on Día de Muertos, at the gravesite or alternatively, at a domestic altar called an ofrenda. In some regions, it is eaten for months before the official celebration of Dia de los Muertos. The holiday is widely observed in Mexico. I spend the days before it looking for Pan de Muerto. This year I visited Northgate Market. I remember working here out of college as an Assistant Apparel Manger when this was a K-Mart. The lawn and garden center was where Northgate Market now stands.

Pan de Muerto @ El Super
Día de los Muertos is November 2 2022 when the spirits of adults can rejoin their families for 24 hours. Midnight on October 31 the gates of heaven open and the spirits of children can rejoin their families for 24 hours. Each year I search for Pan de Muerto to celebrate Día de los Muertos.

Back in the old days you could go inside and wander about breathing in the fresh baked goodness.

Panchitas Bakery Golden Hill [Día de los Muertos]
Delicious crunchy, sugary crust topped with little sugar crystals. Firm yet fluffy bread with a light slightly sweet flavor. The first time we met and I tasted you I knew it was love. How I long for you. They have pale imitations of you at all the chain grocery stores now. The sugary crust and the bread part all lack flavor though. You are a flavor explosion in my mouth unequaled anywhere in San Diego. How I love you my sweet concha.
