My Remarkable Juvenile Memories of Quesadillas

My dad and my uncle strived as engineers and for quite some time, they were both commissioned in Mexico City. My dad often took me to their office and while he talked to the workers and inspected the blueprints, my uncle toured me around the awesome Mexican capital. When I was a child, the Sunday afternoon drives within the city with my uncle were incomplete, unless we bought a couple of tasty quesadillas. We often chanced upon a vendor in the street vending quesadillas for a very low price. Every time I threw tantrums in the middle of their task, my uncle soothed me by promising to buy me as much quesadillas as I want. The tasty food has an bizarre effect on me, up to now that I'm all grown.

I fancied watching quesadillas being arranged by the street vendors. They started by mixing arranged meats, cheese, and peppers, then they put the ingredients in a tortilla. The tortilla is then crinkled to coat the stuff, and the quesadilla is fried. My uncle and my dad choose the toasted quesadillas, as the brothers were particular about their cholesterol intake. While my uncle told me to wait 'till we get back to the office before I eat the quesadilla, I just couldn't help but eat the tasty snack while I laid back on the passenger seat, enjoying the awesome sights in the city.

The Peculiar Yet Firm Character of Frida Kahlo

In this day and age, it is not anymore peculiar that many women go out in the public and speak their mind about social, moral, and political controversies. But generations ago, only a few women have braved to exercise their rights and autonomy. Frida Kahlo marked herself in history as a surrealist painter whose works mostly depicted feminist themes and her own physical, emotional, and psychological afflictions. Kahlo is also an involved believer of the communist ideology, and was among the few feminist figures of the modern times.

Some could recognize Kahlo's nature as unbecoming during her times. She was known to be a spontaneous and unreserved woman. She would often shout profanities and indecent jokes in front of several party guests, and was a strong tequila drinker and cigarette smoker. It was admitted to many that Kahlo's a tomboy, and was doing promiscuous bisexual relationships out in the open. But many critics recognize Kahlo's marriage to Diego Rivera, the acclaimed Mexican muralist, as Kahlo's greatest life struggle. Rivera was a noted womanizer, and Kahlo discharged many of Diego's extra-marital affairs, including a affair with Kahlo's sister. Kahlo went through a lingering emotional tribulation until her death in 1954.
