Mexican Food – The White House Cigars by Jennifer Marie Jordan

Ah, the cigar. Emanating power and prestige, it’s kind of like a Rolls Royce, but much easier to put in your mouth. Because of this esteemed reputation, it’s not surprising that cigars have been smoked by many of our nation’s past presidents. Whether scratching at the back door or sneaking in through an open window, cigars have found their way into the White House during Continue reading Mexican Food – The White House Cigars by Jennifer Marie Jordan

Mexican Food – Cheese Quesadilla – Authentic Mexican Food You Can Make at Home

Choose only very fresh tortillas. If they are not soft and pliable, they are not fresh. You do not want dried out, old tortillas. Pick up the package and toss lightly in your hand, bend them back and forth. If they bend easily, they are fresher than those that crack and break.

Better yet, get a tortilla press and make your own. Just be sure to use fresh flour.

Ingredients Continue reading Mexican Food – Cheese Quesadilla – Authentic Mexican Food You Can Make at Home

Getting all dressed up for Cinco de Mayo is a big part of the fun. You can go with a costume or you may prefer traditional garb. This is lots of fun and can add excitement to the celebration. It never hurts to look great, do not worry about being shy! Pull out all the stops and have fun with your colorful attire.

Costumes are a great way to go; let your imagination go wild. With a white flowing shirt, large sombrero, and black slacks, you have become a musician. A serape is great to add, all you have to do is throw it on your shoulder and then grab a guitar, and you have the look. If you want a really authentic look rent a Mariachi band costumes from a shop or go online to find one.

Another costume option would be to dress as a Mexican revolutionary. Get out your sombrero, paste on a large black mustache and put bandoliers across your shoulders. Carry a toy rifle and a tequila bottle and you will be all set.

If traditional clothing is what you prefer, you have got it made. A white peasant blouse off one shoulder can be great for women. Bright colored skirts with ruffles add a great look. The Mexican flag colors work great, look for clothes that are a festive green, red, and white. These colors work great for many historical days in Mexico. Bright colored ribbons used to tie back the hair is a great touch; flowers made from tissue paper are fun pin to your hair also. Huaraches or leather sandals are comfy and a great way to complete the look while you dance the night away.

For men, look for loose, comfortable pants and a simple white shirt. If you have access to a woven serape or poncho, wear it. Use a bandana or sombrero to finish your party outfit. Boots work well as shoes. Put on a smile and you are ready to party.

Many costume shops have all these outfits to rent or buy. Everything you could want is there in their lofts of costumes, from the bandito to the salsa dancer or peasant. They have reasonable prices and you will have the perfect garments to celebrate the day. Make sure you book your costume early so you get your favorite. Wait too long and you must choose from what is left on the rack.

Now that you are dressed for the part, it is time to enjoy all those delicious Mexican recipes you have been dreaming about. Cheesy enchiladas, fruity granitas, creamy flan… all of them are waiting for you to dig right in and enjoy them. Be careful not to drip anything on your nice outfit, though.

Cinco de Mayo’s enjoyment can be increased by a little dress up. These attractive and traditional outfits for Mexican holidays are comfortable. There are few options for dressy garments that fit these criteria. So, sit back and dress for the occasion. Cinco de Mayo is a great party, have fun, and dress the part.

The great thing about Cinco de Mayo is that every family makes their favorite Mexican foods to celebrate with and traditional Cinco de Mayo food is whatever you want to make. There are no traditional foods associated with these festivities so you can make whichever Mexican dishes tantalize your taste buds. Mexican recipes are as easy to make as they are great tasting. As the mother of four boys I can tell you Mexican food is a favorite in our house.

Martinez Montiel Guayaberas may seem very unique from other traditional Guayabera retailers on the Internet or in Miami, that’s because they are! Our notion is not to necessarily be the biggest, but to be different – and therefore the best. The Guayabera has enjoyed an increased popularity in recent years, yet nobody has stood to meet the challenge of introducing style and diversity into tradition- until now. With our love of the Guayabera, we were faced with either looking like everyone else, or developing our own. We chose as we believe everyone else is starting to choose. Our niche market has grown from a local word of mouth, to eBay, and now to our website, www.MartinezMontiel.com.

The Martinez Montiel™ brand is a higher end specialty designer line specifically intended for the cultural enthusiast and modeled after the South American, Aztec, and new Cuban style flavors. It is an original and intricately crafted embroidered shirt yet with a taste of history and culture sewn into every stitch. We also offer custom design work relative to our customers’ specifications for weddings, parties, or corporate events.

The GUAYABERA

Sometimes misspelled: guyabera, guayebera, guyabera, guyabara, guayabara, guyabera, guayabas, or by many other names such as Mexican Wedding shirts, Havana shirts, Cigar shirts, Mexican shirts, Yayabera shirts, or Cuban shirts – are not only extremely comfortable but versatile. Guayaberas can be worn for formal events such as weddings or dinner party’s, or non-formal events such as picnics or casual nights out. They can also be used for company functions & events, or uniforms for the restaurant and hotel industries.

The Guayabera has enjoyed a long history first introduced in Cuba. The origin of the name Guayabera may come from a Cuban legend that tells of a poor countryside seamstress sewing large pockets into her husband’s shirts for carrying guava (guayabas) from the field, thus creating the Guayabera style. The Guayaberas name may also have originated from the word yayabero, the word for a person who lived near the Yayabo River in Cuba. It later spread to Latin America where its popularity grew.

The Guayabera has four front pockets (two above and two below) and two vertical lines of alforzas (ten vertical pleats that are very closely sewed and pass from above the top pockets down to the bottom of the shirt). The top of each pocket is usually adorned with a button, as are the bottoms of the alforzas. The Cuban Guayabera, unlike the Mexican, also has the alforzas going down the center of the shirt, over the button holes. The back of the Guayabera also follows the same pattern of alforzas. The bottom of the shirt has three-inch slits on each side engaged with a small button. As a straight-bottomed shirt, it is worn outside the trousers. The cuffs may be either one-button or French-cuffed. The white French-cuffed Guayabera worn with a black bowtie, is considered to be equivalent to a tuxedo and can be worn as formal attire.
