A Doomsday Mexican Fiesta for December 21

December 20, 2012 by Nancy Lopez-McHugh

Sound apocalyptic music…

For some reason I keep hearing “The Imperial March” (aka the Darth Vader theme) in head. Well since the world is coming to an end you might as well know I’m a Star Wars nerd fan.

Speaking of end of the world, it’s happening on Friday December 21. Some say the end is near, some say we’ll see Armageddon soon…Some say a comet will fall from the sky followed by meteor showers and tidal waves followed by fault lines that cannot sit still… Oh wait that’s a song by the band Tool. Oh yeah I remember know, it was these guys called the Mayans who supposedly said that come December 21st we are all pretty screwed. Or maybe that’s just modern day wacko interpretations.

So if the world is going to explode into bits and pieces then I’m going down with a belly as wide as I am tall. I’m throwing a Doomsday Mexican fiesta! From today until the last second before the doomsday events and Zombies come knocking on my door (on December 21) I will be gorging myself just incase. There’s nothing worse then facing the apocalypse on an empty stomach. So I’ll be eating all -yes all of the following. Wouldn’t you like to be throwing a fiesta with some of these yummy dishes? Si, si.

Just in case we are all still here on December 22 please forget my nerdy Star Wars revelation. If you don’t see me around it is because I couldn’t roll my jelly-roll butt out off the couch.

    All you had to say was Posole to get me to show up to your fiesta. This is the first evening I sat down before I crawled into bed, so if it is over tomorrow I went out with a bang. Too bad you weren’t closer, I’d bring some cookies over before the world ends. He He.
    -Gina-

    • Spicie Foodie says

      December 21, 2012 at 13:17

      Too bad I would have loved your cookies. But I’m still here so maybe we can still get together for some posole and cookies?:)

    Your cartoons are so cute haha!

    • Spicie Foodie says

    ha! ha! Love those cartoons! We are Christmas caroling with the cub scouts tonight, but I’d rather be feasting on your fiesta!

    • Spicie Foodie says

      December 21, 2012 at 15:26

      …hmm…Yeah I also rather be picking out on Mexican food. But have fun Laura:) Lol, and seriously have fun.

  16. Ramona says

    December 21, 2012 at 15:05

    LOL!! You are so funny Nancy! :) I would love to join your doomsday party. That certainly is the way to go… a belly as big as how tall you are. :) I love the cartoons too… Cheers to a billion more years on Earth. :)

    • Spicie Foodie says

      December 21, 2012 at 15:27

    This was such a fun post…lol, I really like the way you think, my friend! This is one gorgeous fiesta – wish I could have joined you for such a lovely feast!

    Loved that first joke particularly. So much hype–so little real understanding of the cycles abounds! Nice recipe round-up as well. I could go for some pozole today… Happy Holidays!

    • Spicie Foodie says

      December 22, 2012 at 21:46

      Me too I couldn’t get enough of all the ridiculous and unfounded hype about the new cycle or baktun. Thanks and I’m with you I could eat pozole anytime! Merry Christmas:)

  21. Magic of Spice says

    December 24, 2012 at 00:38

    I saw this the other day from my phone…too funny! Everything looks amazing, as always!
