Horchata
It’s true. Horchata is very filling. Hint: order a small horchata… if you’re gonna order horchata.
AND! Happy National Cartoonists Day! Hug a cartoonist today…. maybe buy them a coffee. Cartoonists make the world a better place, ya know.
AND, AND… Happy eat Mexican Food Day!
Happy May 5th, though I’m really not sure why we American’s not of Mexican decent actually celebrate it. I guess any excuse for a party eh? I would both hug a cartoonist and buy them a cup of coffee if I knew any that were close enough to do so. So happy Cartoonists Day Brig!
Wow, first we get Star Wars Day – “May the 4th be with you” – and now Cinco de Mayo. (Ever notice how those days ALWAYS land on May 4th and 5th? I wonder why that is.)
Vamos a tener ya sea tacos o nachos para la cena. *YUMMY!*
Gramy P… California has STRONG Mexican ties. Monterey here, used to be under Mexican Rule… see here for details: http://www.mtycounty.com/pgs-history/mexi-annex.html
… but ya know… I think it’s MOSTLY because of the Margaritas.
Pete… WAIT YOU FORGOT National Cartoonists DAY! It’s conveniently the same day as a “drinking holiday”… If you didn’t know… many tooners are rather good drinkers (of various kinds of drinks).
So raise your glasses, friends… (of Horchata, or coffee, or some adult beverage)… to Tooners!
Hey, look! Sergio Aragones is serving them horchatas!
Ah Brig, I can totally see why Mexican American’s and (non Mexican) folks who grew up in that area would celebrate; makes perfect sense. But why is it so many American’s who have no connection to the reasons behind it, and most times don’t even know what it’s in celebration of, celebrate it other than simply any excuse to party.
Dada… True! It’s the ‘stache, non?
Gramy P. … Same as St. Paddy’s Day, I imagine…
Dada, Brig, who’d a thunk there was so much marginal thinking going on here?
Rich, the mustache is not a way of thinking, it just groo there.
Sorry … that joke just went plop. I didn’t see anyone bat a lash.
Of course I got it! I’ve been busy cleaning up crap from my system and didn’t see it until just now. You know how that stuff happens – it just groo on me!
Just re-read my post and realized it sounded kind of snappish – it wasn’t intended that way – I was totally amused!
Never had a Horchata. Something to look into maybe……
