Caring For Your Introvert

I found myself agreeing to the article by Jonathan Rauch. As an introvert myself, I found him what that he said to be very truthful. As stated in the article, introverts can be difficult to understand. We tend to live in our heads and secure time so that we can deal things out alone. All of his examples were sound and well represented the general thought process of an introvert.

When life gives your corn make corn tortillas.

Although it may not look like it, I’m actually a quarter Mexican, quarter Scottish, quarter Czech, and then a lot of little things thrown in for spice. But, I grew up highly influenced by Mexican culture. Grandmother was born in Mexico and moved to the states in her twenties. My mother speaks fluent Spanish and still holds many Mexican traditions close. For Christmas dinner ever year, my mother makes a traditional Mexican Christmas meal, tamales from scratch. I’ve had my fair share of awesome homemade Mexican food. I still swear that my mother makes the absolute best carnitas I’ve ever tasted. I spent the first ten years of my life in Houston, Texas. Texas, which like most Border States, is rich in incredible Mexican food. When my family and I moved to Colorado Springs in the summer of 1999, we were shocked to find a real lack in high quality Mexican food. None of it was really bad, just not up to the high standards we were used to. Now that I’m living here in Denver, I’m again on the search for primo one hundred percent A-grade Mexican food. I’ve heard rumors of where to go, but have yet to explore them. And now Westword is looking for the same thing. They’re looking for a good place to take Mexican author Gustavo Arellano to lunch. According to City Search, El Jardin on 6460 E 73rd Ave in Commerce City is the audience winner. I’m assuming that the people of Denver are the audience that they are talking about. Or maybe Benny’s Restaurante in Capitol Hill should be the venue of great Mexican food for both Gustavo and me. All I’m asking for is a little spice, some cheese, Spanish rice, lime, cilantro, couple beans, fried onions and bell peppers, meat, and all served on a warmed tortilla ready to be devoured.
