Now, don't get me wrong...I don't have anything against my fellow Hispanics, really I don't, but I'm just not Mexican. Actually, if you were to ask me my ethnicity I would say Cuban and Puerto Rican. Cuban for my father, PR for my mother. However, at 21 I found out that my parents adopted me and so I'm 100% PR. I know, I know...it's getting confusing but no one said reading this and understanding me was going to be easy.* So some might say...OMG you are just American. Yeah, sure I live here but most Hispanics would say their country of origin rather than the country they are living in. It's this whole big entire mystery thing...you have to be Latin to understand it. Where was I? Oh, yeah....Well, we've just established the fact that I'm 100% blood PR, right? I was raised by my PR mother, my Cuban father, Cuban grandmother, and my Cuban aunt. You know were this is headed right? I consider myself more Cuban than anything...lol. Which is a trip because it confuses me sometimes too. So I kinda speak Cuban dialect, cook more Cuban food...etc. You get my point.
Most don't know that Spanish was my first language...It can be frustrating at times...I say things backwards** or forget the English word. I guess crossword puzzles are like Cliffs Notes of the English language. But this should be a whole post by itself.
Either way...I still like Mexican food too.
