Don’t need wine to sing tenor! LOL! But it does make the music better, anyway. ;o]
I like most of the “authentic” tamales I’ve had, though some have been just a wee bit too spicy for me. Still most have been quite good.
It’s 51 degrees, wind from the NNE @ 16, overcast. Ugly. No one here in bathing suits! At least, not outside! LOL!
These were not spicy, and the Mexicans were definitely authentic. The tamale I ate included chicken and potatoes. Quite tasty, although I’d prefer the same ingredients as chicken and cornbread with gravy!
I used to keep a little bottle of Wild Turkey on top of the organ, when I was singing in the choir in San Antonio. Gave us a little Restorative if anyone in the choir choked up, as can happen in Texas during allergy season :-).
It looks like the Spanish-speaking people are using the parish as an opportunity to host social events on their “milestones,” which I think is fine, since they bring the food! Anything that gets them coming to church regularly is positive. We’ve got a penitential service later this week, and there will be a Spanish-speaking priest available for confessions.
Pat’s gotten so into the Spanish Mass that I’m thinking (unless someone hits me in the head first) of trying to put together a bilingual First Communion class next year.
