Happy Mother's Day!!! I hope
everyone is ha\ing a great day to-
day
I hope you remember that special
"mom" in your life in a special way
today
Wow!! Wasn’t all that water last
Saturday a mess, it seems like just
in the last few years we have trou-
ble with U S Highway 59 flooding
1 wonder what causes this, is it the
ditches getting stopped up or the
fact that there is so much building
going on and less room "or all the
water to run off. 1 have no ideal
what the problem is but 1 do know
that until a few years back this
never happened to the extent that
Highway 59 had to be closed down
in the Goodrich area like it has to
be now Any way. I hope none of
you got stuck in that water or had
water related damage

Mexicans observe Dia cle las
Maclres wholeheartedly and enthu-
siastically Cynical comments
about another "Hallmark holiday”
and complaints about retailers' ad
campaigns arc not heard here. In-
stead. the day is celebrated with
flowers, presents and special pro-
grams.
School children proudly invite
their mothers to plays, dances and
recitals. Stores, movie theatres and
supermarkets all give out little re-
cucrdos. f. remembrances, to the
mothers vho come in during the
day. One of the most charming
customs of all is that practiced in
many Mexican churches, the early
morning singing of I.as A laPianitas
(serenading mothers with her an-
gels little voices) and distribution
of tamales and atole to all the local
moms. As many of you know in
Mexico Mother's Day is always on
the May the IOth. regardless of
wliat day of the week it is. So if
you arc a Mexican mom living in
the United States you get to be cel-
ebrated two day s in the year.
While tamales and atole are the
traditional carly-tncming meal,
many people do not cat until mid-
morning. enjoying a meal called
ahnuer/o. which is the equivalent
of brunch, and not lunch, as it is
sometimes mistakenly translated.
The range of food eaten at al-
muerzo is much wider than typical
north-of-thc-border breakfast fare,
from grilled meats to hearty egg
disites and even males and slews.
Fresh seasonal fruit, cither sliced or
juiced, is usually served first, with
coffee, herb tea or Mexico's be-
loved hot chocolate accompanying
the meal If you usually prepare
Mother's Day breakfast for mom.
you might like to try giving it a
Mexican twist. If you haven't made
a Mother's Day breakfast in the
past, you could start now. with one
or two of live recipes given be-
low.
Caft de Olla (sweet cinnamon
coffee) is a great early-morning
energy booster, as well as a good
beverage for those who need to stay
awake later in the day. Sometimes
called "funeral coffee" because it
is always served at the velorios -
all-night wakes - with large trays of
sweet rolls. Ingredients include: six
cups water, three heaping tea-
spoons medium-grind coffee (not
instant), one stick cinnamon, four
tablespoons brown sugar or pilon-
cillo. or to taste. Preparation: briHg
the water to a boil. Add the coffee,
cinnamon and sugar, and continue
boiling for 30 seconds. Stir and
strain into 1km mugs. (Serves six)
Chilaquiles con Polio y Qucso
/chilaquiles with chicken
and cheese) are tortillas cut into
strips, fried, and cooked in either a
red or green sauce. Literally mean-
ing "poor man's food.” chilaquiles
were undoubtedly invented as a
way of using up leftover tortillas.
They have evolved into a very ver-
satile dish, with some rather sophis-
ticated variations. The following
version uses a red sauce: (however
a green sauce, with the following
ingredients is also very good: one
pound tomalilios. husked; one me-
dium white onion, peeled and quar-
tered: four large garlic cloves,
peeled: four fresh serrano chiles, or
to taste. 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
leaves). Ingredients include: 20
medium-size corn tortillas: 1/2 cup
vegetable oil. or as needed: six an-
cho chiles, seeded, deveined and
soaked in hot water until soft: four
roina tomatoes, roasted and peeled,
two large clov es garlic, peeled 1/2
medium while onion, peeled; 1/2 -
one cup chicken broth, or as
needed: I 1/2 cups shredded Oax-
aca. Jack. Gouda or Chihuahua

poached and shredded: tlunly sliced
onion and one cup Mexican crcma.

into strips or wedges In a large
saucepan or cazuela. heat the oil.
add the tortilla strips, and fry until
