Greetings TAO Family and Friends!In Mexico, September is “el Mes de la Patria” (month of the homeland), and sometimes it seems as though the whole country is painted in red, white and green (the colors of the Mexican flag). Colorful and patriotic festivities celebrating the events that led up to Mexico's Independence from Spain are held throughout the country, culminating on the 15th and 16th. Mexicans celebrate their country’s Independence Day with fireworks, parties (fiestas), food, dance and music on September 15th and 16th. Flags, flowers and decorations in the colors of the Mexican flag – red, white and green – are seen in public areas in cities and towns in Mexico. Whistles and horns are blown and confetti is thrown to celebrate this festive occasion. As residents and adopted children of Mexico, September is a month to share experiences, learn from our host country and why not learn more about the superb Mexican culture through the delicious traditional dishes. As a recreational activity for our TAO Community I would like to propose that we demonstrate our culinary skills and organize a week of traditional Mexican dishes, recipes prepared by each and every one of us. I would also like to introduce you all to Darren who will be working in the Customer Service Department and working with all of the issues and concerns that you may have. He has a few words for you all: “Hola everyone, as many of you already know I am now working in the Customer Service Department and I will do my very best to listen to your comments, issues and suggestions and try to find answers to them. Please feel free to pop in at the TWC and see me, I’m always happy to see you all.” My tip of the month: Once a week, spend a couple of hours in a place you love - this could be in nature, engaged in a sport or in a gallery. Once a week share a meal, in an intentional and spacious way, with someone you love (no rushing and no TV). Finally, be sure you find the signs and symbols of love that inspire you and keep the close. Placing a token rock, a meaningful photo, or a spiritual message somewhere that you will see it everyday can make a difference and keep your attitude afloat. Enjoy this patriotic month, and get to know more about this amazing country. Viva Mexico!!! Isaac Henares |

HOW TO MAKE A PROPER “CHILE EN NOGADA”
Every year in late summer and early fall, the chile en nogada makes its brief run through Mexico.
Chiles en nogada is not an easy dish, and it’s not meant to be. That’s part of the tradition. Walnuts must be peeled. Spices assembled. Raw and dried fruit, chopped. Even after assembling your chile, you must dunk it in egg batter and fry it.
