In a little more than a week, Mom, Christian and I will be going to Mexico for a wedding of one of my mom’s cousins! I can hardly wait!!! I haven’t been to Monterrey in years, so I’m excited to see how all my cousins are and to go to all the new places that I’ve only heard about. My uncle is building a new house, my grandma got a gigantic new refrigerator, my other uncle got a piano, and grandma tells me that there are a bunch of professing girls around my age in the area (not including my many cousins) so I’m also looking forward to meeting them.
Oh! I also have several cousins who I haven’t even met yet, or who I only got to see when they were little babies. That’s kind of sad, but fortunately I’ll be seeing them soon.
And then there’s the food. Carne asadas (basically Mexican barbecues.) and mango and strawberry cakes and tamales and TAMARIND FLAVORED CANDY! I don’t even know why mom is bringing her ‘American recipes’ with her to Mexico when there’s already so much good food there, but I guess she wants to give Grandma a taste of her foreign culinary talent. 😛
Sorry this is so short… will write more later!
You forgot that frozen mango with chili powder thing. What was that thing el Guero was selling to the neighborhood kids?
Oh yes! That’s the most important (and delicious) thing!
What did they call that? Mangonadas?
Lyle
Sounds like you will have a great time. Greetings to your Grandparents.
But I definitely have to stay away from the Mangonadas! I hope you can make it down to Monterrey sometime Lyle. They would love you. Pretty good Mexican food, too.
