Is that the Azteca band?
As soon as I have some extra cash, Iâm gonna order a couple KG of their masa flour, as well as a tortilla press if I can afford it.

They did have their stuff on takealot for a few weeks, but while they marked up the flour from R80 to R100, I think the free shipping was probably killing themâŚ

From what I can see you can trust them. Takealot makes it very hard and expensive for startups to sell. A friend of mine recently did manage to get his stuff on there and it was a long procesz

Today is: 
Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day
Chose this one for today because itâs so weirdly oddly specific, and Iâm intrigued that someone found it necessary to declare a day to celebrate Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds so specifically.
This intriguingly specific day celebrates a particular combination of flavours â dark, bitter chocolate and toasted almonds. This is one of the oldest recipes involving chocolate known in the English-speaking world, featuring as the only chocolate dish in an 18th-century cookbook.
This festivity exists mainly as an idea circulated on the internet. It is sponsored by the National Confections Association, and celebrated and encouraged by organisations such as food.com, a site which aims to encourage cooking and the appreciation of food by holding various different food days.
Both the tannins in dark chocolate and the various fatty acids in almonds have many health benefits, various studies have shown.
Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day encourages a delicious and nourishing dessert, which contributes to health and long life. Celebrate by dipping blanched almonds in the best dark chocolate you can find, and serving to your friends with a glass of red wine!
Nuts, chocolate, red wine? Well if you insist!

Today is: Cappuccino Day
Italy is delightfully famous for the variety of coffee drinks that it produces. Cappuccinos are loved among coffee lovers and despite the vague history, many people still appreciate the comfort that this hot, foamy, milk drink brings.
Thus, comes a happy day called Cappuccino Day, where people from all over can order a frothy and whipped cup of coffee to enjoy on its own or to eat with whatever meal theyâre having.
The name âCappuccinoâ originally came from the Capuchin Friars, a minor order of Franciscan friars within the Catholic Church, headquartered in Rome, Italy. These friars in the 16th century were well known for their missionary work in helping the poor and were dedicated to extreme austerity, poverty, and simplicity.
Wearing a brown robe with a pointed hood, it is believed that the name stemmed from a specific person in the order, Marco dâAviano. According to the Telegraph, when an Ottoman Turk army tried marching into Vienna in 1683, dâAviano united the outnumbered Christian troops and made them victorious in defending Vienna.
The legend says that after the Turks fled, they left behind Ottoman coffee, and because the Christians found it to be bitter, they sweetened it with milk and honey and named it after the Order of Capuchins.
A different source says that the idea of the cappuccino drink appears to have originated in the 1700âs, in the âKapuzinerâ coffee houses in Austria, which contained coffee with cream and sugar and eventually added spices. So no one really knows exactly where the name came from.
However, the cappuccino coffee drink that everyone knows of today was invented in Italy during the 1900âs after the invention of the espresso machine gained popularity.
The first record of the modern cappuccino appeared in the 1930âs. Back then, espresso machines were rather bulky and complicatedâcertainly not something the average person would have at home in their kitchen. So as the coffee culture in Italy developed, it was centered around specialty cafes, and baristas who knew how to operate the machines.
After World War II, the espresso machine improved, and so changed the process of making cappuccinos, which now have steamed and frothed cream and thus spread its popularity around the world.
Iâm going to need a double espresso with a cappuccino on the side to get going this morning!

Today is: World Freedom Day
In many parts of the world, freedom is something that is taken for grantedâthe freedom to choose any religion we want (or no religion at all), the freedom to be in a relationship with the person we love, the freedom to travel⌠the list goes on. Unfortunately, there are many, many places in the world where these freedoms are not available to most people, who are forced to live empty, unfulfilling lives so the rulers of their countries donât have them thrown in jail or worse.
If you donât know what it means to be afraid to voice your opinion, then you can consider yourself very lucky to live in a place where liberty is a priority as well as a basic human right. And like all good things, liberty should be celebrated, and thatâs what World Freedom Day is all about.
For a lot of people, it is crazy to think about a world without freedom. Many people have experienced freedom in all of their lives. However, for a lot of people, this is not the case, and so it is important that we understand this and that we look for ways to make changes.
World Freedom Day has been created in commemoration of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The date is not so much about the wall itself, but more about what it symbolized. The fall of the wall was the end of communism in both Central and Eastern Europe.
At the end of the Second World War, Germany was divided into two parts. There was West Germany and East Germany. The Soviet Union controlled East Germany. The French, British, and Americans occupied sectors of West Germany. After the Second World War, East Germany was declared a country of its own.
The living conditions between West and East Germany were considerably different when you consider the completely different leadership styles. Economic conditions thrived in West Germany, where it was capitalist. However, in communist East Germany, the opposite happened. A lot of Germans defected to West Germany to try and get away from the difficult and challenging conditions that came with communist leadership.
This resulted in a monumental three million people leaving East Germany between the years of 1949 and 1961. As a consequence, the Soviet Union found itself in a very desperate position.
In 1961, barbed wire and concrete posts were erected by soldiers, creating a physical barrier between West and East Berlin. This happened during the night, with people in Berlin waking up in the morning to realize that they would not be able to go to the other side of the city, even if they had family or a job on the other side.
The 91-mile wall had minefields, watchtowers, electric fences, and other features installed overtime to make sure that no one could pass through it.
Travel restrictions from East Germany were greatly lowered in 1989 when a new leader took over. People were allowed to cross into West Berlin from East Berlin again. This resulted in thousands descending on the wall when they recognized the borders were not closed in 1989. They started to use hammers and chisels to chip the wall away, and it came down, piece-by-piece.
A year later, in 1990, Germany became a single state again, with the West and East sides of the country reunited. While the issue may seem resolved in Germany, this does not mean that freedom is not threatened.
All over the world, there are tyrants that attempt to manipulate monetary sectors, threaten violence, or attempt to use other forms of power to gain control of different areas. That is why World Freedom Day is so important.
Declared by then US President George W. Bush, World Freedom Day was created to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. It also coincides with what some people refer to as Freedom Week (overlapping with American Veteranâs Day observances) in honour of the âvictory over communismâ.
Appreciate your freedoms, but never take them for granted!

Today is: Sesame Street Day
âElmo is so happy to see you! Welcome to Sesame Street!â
On November 10, 1969, âSesame Street,â a pioneering TV show that would teach generations of young children the alphabet and how to count, makes its broadcast debut. âSesame Street,â with its memorable theme song (âCan you tell me how to get/How to get to Sesame Streetâ), went on to become the most widely viewed childrenâs program in the world. It has aired in more than 120 countries.
There are very few people in the world aged fifty years old or less who have not been impacted by Sesame Street in their childhood years. So, it only makes sense that Sesame Street Day was created to celebrate the tremendous influence that this maverick television program has had upon the lives of so many people around the world.
Sesame Street Day was first established in 2009 to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the showâs original broadcast. While initiated in New York City, it should come as no great surprise that this occasion is now recognized by tens of thousands of individuals from all over the planet. In fact, the number of followers for this particular day continues to grow each year.
Beginning in 1969 in the United States, Sesame Street is a creation of the Childrenâs Television Workshop (CTW), which is broadcast on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Itâs an educational series that combines live actors with animation as well as special puppets by Jim Henson, known as âMuppetsâ.
Many of the recurring characters have remained with the show for many years, particularly Kermit the Frog, friends Ernie and Bert, Big Bird and Cookie Monster. Elmo came into the scene in the mid-80s and many more characters have joined since then as well.
Through short vignettes, songs, skits and cameo appearances, the show seeks to create educational opportunities for children of all ages by fostering learning, engaging their minds, building social skills, promoting self-esteem and offering basic academic skills.
While the finances of the show started out as a collaboration between government and private corporations, they have become mostly financially independent due to their licensing agreements and corporate deals that help to keep the show alive.
Over the years, Sesame Street has hosted hundreds of famous guests. It all started with James Earl Jones back in 1969, going through the alphabet in delightful voices. Since then, over 800 guest stars have joined the show including politicians, musicians, journalists, actors, athletes, and so many more.
In the more than 50 years since its inception, Sesame Street has gained quite the following with The first international version of the show didnât take long to come about, which was in Brazil in 1972, just three years after the original show aired.
It is broadcast in more than 140 countries in at least 70 languages, and has over 30 different international versions that are adapted to local cultures and issues, including our very own South African versions Takelani Sesame.
And all of it is with the intention of creating healthy, happy, well-rounded kids who are engaged in learning and life.
Now those are some great reasons to celebrate Sesame Street Day!
Me want cookie, my dudes!
