I like Mexico - but it's going to be difficult for them to get through this group.

(13/06/02 15:18:25) Sailed through the group; very impressive.

CHORUS
Mexicans, when the war cry is heard,
Have sword and bridle ready.
Let the earth's foundations tremble
At the loud cannon's roar.


May the divine archangel crown your brow,
Oh fatherland, with an olive branch of peace,
For your eternal destiny has been written
In heaven by the finger of God.
But should a foreign enemy
Dare to profane your soil with his tread,
Know, beloved fatherland, that heaven gave you
A soldier in each of your sons.


CHORUS


War, war without truce against who would attempt
to blemish the honor of the fatherland!
War, war! The patriotic banners
saturate in waves of blood.
War, war! On the mount, in the vale
The terrifying cannon thunder
and the echoes nobly resound
to the cries of union! liberty!

RECIPE

Smoked Turkey Burrito

2 jalapeno peppers seeded and minced, 8 oz cream cheese, 1/4 cup sour cream, 4 oz green or red chilli salsa, 3 ripe avocados peeled, 2 tbs lemon juice, 1/2 tsp onion salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1 lb smoked turkey cut paper thin, 6 flour tortillas warmed, salsa or corn relish

In a small bowl, mix together jalapenos, cream cheese, sour cream and salsa until well blended. Put aside. In another bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice until fairly smooth. Add onion salt and pepper and continue mashing until smooth. Thickly coat tortillas with the jalapeno/cheese mixture right to the edge. Top this with turkey slices, then spread avocado mash on top. Roll up tortillas like Swiss rolls; slice burritos diagonally (space cuts about 3/4 inch apart) to make pinwheel shapes. Serve with salsa or corn relish.

Wash down with: Dos Equis or Sol
