We had a great Thanksgiving Day and then dinner with the Rodriguez Family. Irene is so funny.... she and her kids had Thanksgiving dinner with her parents and siblings at 11:00 a.m. but Irene said it was too Mexican. (They had turkey, tamales, beans, rice...) After Adrian got off work they came to our house for "White People Thanksgiving". I'm not kidding. Irene is always telling me she wants to learn how to cook "White Girl Food". It always makes me laugh and I tell her that I'm Mexican. She laughs at that because she knows that I have dual-citizenship but am mostly a "White Girl" who cooks "White Girl Food". (She did get me to help when they made tamales on Christmas Eve, but that's another post....)

both the hat blog and this one made us laugh!!
How did I NOT know you had dual citizenship? What else have you been keeping from me?! You can come and cook tamales for me anytime. My house is quiet and clean...
I've been a dual citizen for almost 10 years now, I think. It's because my mom was born and raised down there but it doesn't mean much - except if we start a business then I'm a minority woman and can get all kinds of grants, etc. It also means I can own property in Mexico.
And.... I will be happy to come and make you tamales. I could use some peace and quiet. Start cooking that pig's head ...
