Although I told Wendy the other day that I thought I was more Asian than English. Maybe I'm actually more Spanish? (no, people, I am not mixing up Mexican and Spanish. My ancestry happens to be a mixture of English, Filipino, and Spanish, among other things. And there is a Spanish influence on Mexican food, yes?)</p> Oh, Mexican, for sure.

in other news: we do that same thing, re: halloween candy! we always get one bag (usually junior mints, because they contain no dairy, which my husband can’t have)…nobody comes (because we live in an apartment building)…and i take the bag to work the next day.

also, today’s my husband’s birthday, and i made him a fanTAStic breakfast, including blood orange mimosas, black forest bacon, and BATTER BLASTER pancakes which a) i got because they’re ridiculously entertaining, and i saw ‘em here first, and b) contain no dairy! wooo! thanks, roots and grubs! :)
