The New Gabriel Garcia Marquez Book
25 Nov 2005
In my ninetieth year, I decided to give myself the gift of a night of love with a young virgin.
If you’re going to shop today, don’t waste your money on clothes you’re not going to wear, or that microwave that’s on sale for $10 (It costs $10 for a reason). Instead, make a quick stop at your favorite book store and grab Memories of My Melancholy Whores, the latest book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
The Spanish version came out about a year ago (Memorias de mis putas tristes) but the English translation has been out for a few weeks now. I never realized that translations could take so long nowadays. I guess that’s why it’s good to be multilingual. Could you imagine if the Harry Potter books were only in French? I am sure millions of fans would be fluent in the “language of love” by now.

Turkey Dinner Oaxaqueño Style

On Thanksgiving Day many individuals from the Oaxaqueño business community served more than 1,500 plates of turkey dinners for the needy at Normandie Park in Los Angeles. What a treat that must’ve been. Now, don’t think that this was your typical run of the mill turkey. The Oaxaqueños prepared four different types of guajolete (as they are called in Mexico), with chipotle chile, a la naranja, enchilada and of course the traditional kind which is prepared in a delicious broth.
The United States has opened its doors for us to introduce our culture and traditions. Not only have we established ourselves with our customs, but we also have adapted to the culinary traditions of this country.

Black Friday Doesn’t Have to be so Black
25 Nov 2005
My mother had to open the retail store she manages at 7 am today. My cousins said they would be at the toy store at 6 am. The mall near my apartment was open at 5 am. The leftover turkey in the fridge, it’s time to go shopping! The day after Thanksgiving is considered the biggest holiday shopping day of the year and is sometimes called “Black Friday”. But that doesn’t mean that we have to join in the shopping madness or given the recent conversation on VL about sweatshops that we can’t shop with a conscience. There are alternatives to the early bird shopping specials and red tag sales.
