Good enough to warrant a second helping! A gift from Sergio, and David, just returned from the States. Not sure they have these in Mexico, but then they don’t have the king of Cheetos, Cheetos Torciditos !!!, in the U.S.
What happens when you leave an unprotected bag of Cheetos lying around at my house?
After:
If you want a hint of how that turned-inside-out and licked clean (but formerly half-full) Cheetos bag might have wound up in the pool, check out the post linked below:

Sangria Mania
My walks to the refrigerator are, I fear, redundant
in search of liquid succulent and winey and abundant,
for I cannot quell my thirst for what is in the pitcher
I keep upon the bottom shelf—sangria all the richer
for strawberries and orange juice, wine and Seven-Up.
I drink it by the crystal glass and sip it by the cup.
I fear that for eight months or so, this liquid’s been a stable
addition to my fridge, not to mention on my table.
Now I’ve addicted all my friends, for few have ever balked
at helping me to quaff this liquid that I can’t keep stocked.
I find that now I have to buy the wine on which it’s based
not only by the bottle, but now I buy it cased!!!
It goes so well with Cheetos that I buy them by the bag,
and I must admit that we’re also on a jag
of scarfing down these cheesy bits so succulent and crunchy,
for as we quench our thirsts we feel the need for something munchy
My recipe for Sangria:
Put a handful of whole frozen strawberries in the bottom of a glass pitcher.
Cover with tequila and put overnight in the fridge.
The next morning, fill pitcher 1/3 with Kirkland Sangria, 1/3 with orange juice (I use Jumex) and 1/3 with 7-Up. Stir and return to fridge.
Serve over cracked ice in clear glasses with a stir-stick stabbed into one or more of the strawberries retrieved from the pitcher.
If you are in Mexico, serve with Cheetos Torciditos. In the States or elsewhere where they are not available, choose the crispy Cheetos. Share with friends. Ahhhhhhhhh.
Prompt words today are stable, succulent, quell, walk and redundant.
Anyone who reads my blog regularly probably knows what a fan I am of Cheetos Torciditos. I have probably done more to promote them than anyone in my part of Mexico and I’ve addicted more than a dozen friends and caused the store right next to the Racquet Club to start selling larger bags of them. Now, if you are wondering why I am suddenly showing a bag of them on my blog, perhaps the next photo will clarify.
Two days ago a mysterious, beautifully-wrapped gift showed up under my Christmas tree. Since it was my only gift to open and so beautiful, I still hadn’t unwrapped it until today when Sergio, my next door neighbor, came over to borrow chairs and TV trays for his party. He insisted I open it, but the wrappings are shown below.
Now, if you take a less closeup view of my bag of Cheetos, you can see that it is a very large bath towel with an image of a bag of Cheetos Tordicos on it. It turns out that they went to a lot of work to locate it in Liverpool, where they were sold out, and finally located it on the internet. They know me so well. Not only is this my favorite food on Earth, but I have been looking in vain for a full-sized towel to use in the pool.
Thanks once again to the best neighbors ever––David and Sergio.
They threw a great party as well, where I wore my Cheetos towel as a cape, looking like some sort of Cheese Curl Avenger. Photos to follow.
This is me, trying to show my cape but unable to figure out how without turning it around backwards. I might have figured out a better way if it hadn’t been for the sangria…Happy Boxing Day, Everyone!!!

Ode to Cheetos
If you’ve given up on lunch
and seek a substitute with punch,
Cheetos are my favorite snacks
that can be found sealed up in sacks.
Always flavorful and munchy,
crisp and satisfyingly crunchy
between lips and teeth and gums,
enjoyable from cheeks to tums.
Though they’re often underrated,
I feel that they have been berated
by makers of crackers and chips
as well as creators of dips,
due to envy and to spite,
for citrus drinks like Squirt and Sprite
complement their spicy bite,
setting all the world to right.
So buy a bag without delay.
Do not wait another day.
You’ll be elated that you did,
and also happy that you hid
the bag so as you start to chew,
you know that it is all for you!
(Hint: Get the bag marked “Torciditos.”
They’re the premiere type of Cheetos!!!)

Prompt words today are citrus, spite, crunchy, crisp, delay, happy and berated.
Not fiction. I am addicted to these little devils and everyone I’ve introduced them to has become hooked as well. I guess I do you no favors in sharing my favorite vice. I may have to go buy some now. Fortunately, (regrettably?) a little shop I must pass on my way to or from home sells them.
