11:00 PM on Christmas Eve. Fireworks and gun fire all around town. I'm
so full of tamales, cookies and candy that I'm sure to be sick before
the night is over. Oh well, it's Christmas -- the season to be
gluttonous. I hope you are properly stuffed, too.

Merry Christmas and happy Alka-Seltzer to all from my Lerdo gang --
the families of my cooking partners Doña Martha and Adriana, my
English students who brought me too much cookies and candy, and me who
gleefully ate them.
