Mexican President Taps Hernán Cortés to Top National Guard Post in 2024 – Because Mexico
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum is truly a first in many ways. Not only she is my country’s first female president, but she is also the first with a Jewish background. But to make things even more interesting, this week she appointed a new interim commander to take over the country’s increasingly powerful Guardia Nacional.
His name? Hernán Cortés, of course, because Mexico is magical and I hope it will stay this way.

This Brazilian University Wants you to Master in… WHAT?
I don’t know much about Univeritas or it’s academic curriculum, but judging from its outdoor advertising, they’re not kidding when they say they’re going to transform people’s life.
Life and Tacos Go with “Todo” Change my Mind…

Life & tacos van con todo is my new motto…

Move Over, Pan de Muerto; Here Comes the Conchatrina
The Mexicans have done it again, my friends.
Not content with bringing us the Conchanclas, the Conchamacos and the Conchatépetl, Mexican bakers are at it again.
Meet the Conchatrina, a special Day of the Dead-themed concha that mixes our beloved pan de muerto with the now world-famous Mexican skulls known as catrinas.
The chef’s name if Alfonso Domínguez and he runs a bakery in Tetelpa, Morelos, and I cannot wait to get there!

When you Want to Celebrate Hispanics without Offending Anyone
Hispanic Heritage Month has come a long way, my friends!
This Bear Loves Enchiladas -and you Shouldn’t Mess with it
A black bear terrorized a mom and her son when he leapt on their picnic table and started going after their tacos, French fries and enchiladas.
Per The Associated Press:
Silvia Macías of Mexico City had traveled to the Chipinque Park in the northern city of Monterrey to celebrate the 15th birthday of her son, Santiago, who has Down syndrome.
Soon after they sat down to eat the food they brought, the bear showed up and gulped down french fries, enchiladas, tacos and – of course- plenty of salsa.
I would have totally panicked -and not only for losing my enchiladas.
Here’s a video shot by Macias friend, Angela Chapa, that has since gone viral.
