The four people who died in the fire on Kings Mill Road in York over the weekend were from the state of Oaxaca, Mexico.
Two years ago, I was fortunate enough to spend some time in the city of Oaxaca, which is in that state, not far from San Jose del Progreso, where the York family is from.
Because I like to try local foods wherever I travel, here is a picture of "quesillo," a stringy, white cheese that I ate with Saltine crackers many days for lunch while I was there. And below is an example of the "tamales" that many Mexicans prepare at the holidays.
