Three Kings Day!

Mexico is known for taking advantage of any opportunity to have a holiday. Some of my favorites include 5 de Mayo, Construction Worker Day and El Dia de Guadalupe. Here we are celebrating Three Kings Day, or as I call it, Wizard King Day. For all of those presents that somehow didnt make it into the mail ontime, or for those who like take advantage of those day-after-christmas sales for our gift purchases, this holiday is for you. It also is nice to look forward to during your January 2nd back to work blues. One of the most notable activities on this day is the cutting of the rosca, a circular bread which has baby Jesus figurines baked inside. Whoever cuts the piece with the baby in it is responsible to host another party a month later and serve tomales and...... Voila! Just like that ANOTHER festive day is created! Incredible!
Here's a wet one - just for you.

YUM!!
