any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.

I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite
some time and was hoping maybe you would have
some experience with something like this. Please let me know if
you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

In our home, like you say, eating with our friends (who are like familiy) have provided a great opportunity to teach our children about hallacas and arepas and tostones y pescado frito, among other things. With the food there are stories about traditions, and our kitchen has become a great school of traditions. Our heritage suddenly becomes alive to our children, and the memories of sharing, teasing, and telling stores will last them a life time. When one of my children applied to college, she described her cultural background through her experience in the kitchen, growing up with the “tias.” That is food that binds. Thank you for your fun article.

I love being able to have the support of my internet family when it comes to keeping the Mexican culture alive. I struggle everyday to keep it alive for my kids as I am the ONLY one in their daily lives that speaks Spanish. It is awesome for me to be able to read blogs such as this one and the ones on your site “The other side of the tortilla” and get new ideas and new recipes to teach my family to help them connect with their culture. I totally agree with you that for us the love of our food helps us to connect in a way that I don’t think many other cultures connect. I cherish those memories I have as a child with my abuelitas in the kitchen!

We can eat it to no end…seriously. The kids always want “mas, mas”. Of course we do have plenty of other favorites, but that is the one that pops into my head at 1 am. (I really should go to bed now. =)

Great post. I will be visiting your blog soon.

Now that my grandmother (who did the cooking in my family growing up) passed away, we cling to the few things we really know how to make and try our best to recreate these recipes to pass on to the next generation.

Love TOSOTT and the mission to document and continue what has been passed down to you
