Chicharrones

happy cinco de mayo! (for 2 more hours we can still celebrate!) being mexican this is one of our days, yet it was my first time in my life that i can remember celebrating it. back in elementary we performed mexican dances for the parents but that's really it. today my grandma invited us to eat because of cinco de mayo. i got alittle gift of a mexican doll holding a basket. in spanish our test was postponed and we celebrated! and i was sterotyped! our teacher brought horchata and chicharrones to share with the class. my asian friend had never had chicharrones and she asked me what they were made of. of course, i explained that most of the ones here are made of flour and it's fried but the true hardcore mexican ones are made from the skin of a pig and it's fried. she tasted it and said "these are good" then she asked if i ate them everyday and if i had them right now in my house! i told her that i didn't. not all mexicans like chicharrones....i don't. and we don't wear sombreros and play accordians. but i must admit i do sterotype mexicans aswell so i'm guilty! so that was my cinco de mayo. i didn't drink tequila shots/corona or dance mexican dances. it was a normal day! yay!*

cool songs:
Dudley- The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Low Rider- War
