Mexican Flan
2012-03-09 16:00:00 Minoo asked me to demonstrate the Japanese Purin, a kind of custard for dessert along Lez Mexican dishes. I thought Mexican dishes and Japanese dessert does not jive. So, I looked up from the internet a Mexican Flan recipe instead. The Mexican Flan is more dense than the Japanese Purin. Nevertheless, it's a great dessert to go along the Mexican theme.

RACISM IN MEXICAN CHILDREN
2011-12-30 16:12:00 A video for an anti-racism campaign sponsored by the Mexican government is raising all kinds of eyebrows, and hopefully, awareness about the deep-rooted social issue. The almost four minute long piece captures a handful of responses from Mexican children that are asked to differentiate between a white doll and a black doll. When asked loaded questions like which doll is ugly, bad, good, trustworthy, etc., the children almost always attributed the negative qualities to the black doll. Ricardo Bucio Mujica, President of The National Council To Prevent Discrimination, points out that the experiment is meant to highlight some very real social stigmas and perceptions:

Follow Up: Frightened Mexican Business Owners Look To Immigrate to USA
2011-04-17 22:44:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Yesterday I wrote of how stricter immigration laws in the US are scaring away Mexico's low-skilled, uneducated masses from wanting to come to the USA. I mentioned it was a good thing that the dregs of Mexico are staying in Mexico. Today I celebrate another story that reports that some of Mexico's business class and members of its upper middle classes are looking to come to the US because of fear of the drug wars raging south of the boarder. They are bringing their wealth and their businesses with them, too. This is also a good thing. The Monitor of McAllen, Texas reports that Mexicans applying for the federal EB-5 investment program are on the rise...
Mexican's Increased Suspicion of USA Over Immigration Laws
2011-04-17 00:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston According to the Christian Science Monitor Mexicans might be becoming "reticent about taking that midnight train to Georgia" and emigrating to America whether illegally or not. All this because of new, more stringent immigration laws being enacted in the various states, Georgia being only the latest example. The bill, which Gov. Nathan Deal (R) is expected to sign, is the latest in a wave of immigration reform legislation that is sweeping the US and souring Mexican opinion of America. Prior to the enactment of the Arizona's controversial SB 1070 one year ago, 62 percent of Mexicans had a positive opinion of the US, compared with 44 percent after the law passed, according to the Pew Research...

A map that some visitors to Cancun may not discover. The Little Mexican Cooking School has been awarded the designation of #1 Attraction on the entire Yucatan Peninsula by popular travel website TripAdvisor.com, topping the charts of over 600 attractions offered in this area. But, some visitors to the Cancun area won’t find out. That’s because, oddly, the destination is unable to be listed on Trip Advisor's Cancun listings page.

Baja Fresh Mexican Grill
2011-01-01 05:45:00 Baja Fresh Mexican Grill is located in downtown Berkeley, California at 2237 Shattuck Avenue at the corner of Kittredge. It's down the block from the California Theater, so it's a great place to grab a bite before a show. The phone number is 510-548-4444.Although this is a chain/franchise Mexican restaurant, it's very good. Everything really is fresh; they cook your food on the spot. And it's inexpensive.The online Baja Fresh menu doesn't show the prices since the menu is for the whole country, but you can see the food items they offer. I can usually get a very filling lunch for less than $5 (without a drink). They also have a nice little salsa bar.This is one of my favorites in the Berkeley Restaurant Guide because the food is good, fresh and inexpensive, and the service is quick.

2010-08-28 20:36:00 The Dorothy Brown Jeans Day Report: Vindication or Mexican Standoff?

Calif. School Bans American Flag Clothing For Non-Existent Mexican Holiday?
2010-05-07 00:05:00 -By Warner Todd Huston California schools really do hate America.

The bun is slightly grilled, then smothered with avocado, chipotle sauce, and meat of your choice (I opted for the butterflied, breaded, and fried pork chop - I was not disappointed). It also comes layered in a special cheese you'll only...
