Cena

What to do if you are planning a fancy Mexican food dinner:

(1) Drive to downtown McAllen to shop for the proper attire.  Pretend you belong there, even if you are the only tall, blonde person who prefers to do business in English.  Ask for prices in U.S. currency, not pesos.

(2) Purchase the proper accessories, which will likely include cotton lace, images of Christ, or both.  Try not to laugh when you find these accessories, or when you try on pants that match the carpet.  



(3) Invite friends who like to cook yummy Mexican dishes while dressed in Mexican attire.  Don't forget to hang a Mexican flag around your dog's neck, or on a random window.  


(4) Stay in character, even if your stomach is so full of horchata, nachos, fideo, rice, beans, enchiladas, chili relleno, flan, and tres leches cake that you just want to curl up in a ball and go to sleep.
