¿Sabías Qué...?
Did You Know?
Sept. 15 - Oct. 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month.
From September 15 to October 15, America celebrates the culture and traditions of those who trace their roots to Spain, Mexico and the Spanish-speaking nations of Central America, South America and the Caribbean.
September 15 was chosen as the starting point for the celebration because it is the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on Sept. 16 and Sept. 18, respectively.

 U.S. Census Uses Telenovela to Reach Hispanics
Perla Beltrán, a young woman from the wrong side of the tracks in New York, has suffered a great deal lately - her husband, a thief, has been murdered and she has been associating with lowlifes. But she thinks she has found a way out: as a recruiter for the United States Census Bureau.
Ms. Beltrán, a character in the popular Spanish-language soap opera "Más Sabe el Diablo," "The Devil Knows Best," represents only one element of the government's yearlong effort to garner trust among Hispanics. (more...) |

Carlos V Chocolate
Carlos V Chocolate
The people who know me know that I love chocolate! But not all chocolate is created equal in my heart.
There's a special place there for Carlos V (like the king "Charles V", prompting the nickname "the king of chocolate"). It's no surprise that the best chocolate comes from Mexico, the country where chocolate was invented. The bars can be found in almost any corner store in Mexico, and the company that created it was so successful that Nestle purchased it 1995.
When I was a child, you could buy the chocolate in a lollipop form. And I don't mean a chocolate flavored lollipop, but basically a small piece of the actual chocolate stuck on a stick. I'd put it in my mouth and the thing would melt. It was heaven! I'm not sure you can buy it in that form anymore, but the bars are readily available at any bodega, Hispanic supermarket or specialty food retailer.
Try it if you ever get a chance. I promise you won't be disappointed!
