Mexican Heritage

Very few people who are acquainted with our family here in Texas know that Larry is 1/4 Hispanic. I mean doesn't his blue eyes and bleach white skin just scream "south of the boarder"?! Let's just say that isn't a blood-line that many jump to suspicion on. However, he is...even though he doesn't know a lick of spanish. I'm sure he understands tons but a regular dialogue isn't his forte.
But he does know good mexican food when he finds a little hole in the wall restaurant! In this case he found a Hispanic grocery store that serves some wonderful ready-made food, bakery goods, etc... We have tried to preserve some of Larry's favorite memories that he shared with his Grandmother Consuelo Gonzales and one is drinking Mexican Hot Chocolate and dipping in some Pandulce Bread. It's a fun treat! (you can ask the girls in my bookclub who were treated to it last night) Anyway the point is...well ok so maybe I don't have one. But I did take a cute picture of Ben trying to scarf down a whole Pandulce Bread on his own!
