Chia Rowdy

Thanks to my friend R.S. I have finally learned why the state in Mexico is called Chiapas. It is named after president Obama's favorite toy, the Chia Obama. Personally if I was him I would take this almost as a racist affront. But hey, if the guy can win a Nobel Peace Prize and then give us the largest defense budget in 50 years and not be able to pass his health care bill with a super majority..... well who am I to then also say he shouldn't be proud of Chia Obama?

The fact that Mexico had such foresight to name a state in honor of a future American president is amazing. So amazing they decided to also create a celebratory drink in honor of the occasion.

If you've ever been to the jungley state of Chiapas or in the desert of Copper Canyon you might have heard of this drink, chia fresca.

So that I to may have a thick, full head of sprouty hair I decided to make some myself!

1 teaspoon Chia seeds
1 teaspoon azucar (sugar)
1 tall glass of agua (water)
1 cap full of lime juice

Mix the sugar and lime juice into the glass of water. Then add the Chia seeds and let them "swell". Refrigerate the mixture until it has almost reached the consistency of Jello. Alternatively you can drink the whole mixture at once if you wish, before it has really 'set up'.

Every morning eat a teaspoon of this and see if you don't just feel great all day!! Or that someday, if you're a really good community organizer and teach at Harvard, you could be El Presidente.
