An Open Letter To Our Loyal Listeners – My Vote
Dearest listeners,
I’ve been doing a lot of soul-searching lately, and I know this is a big decision…one that many of you might be divided on. But I’ve come to a point where I have to be honest with myself and, more importantly, with all of you. I can no longer stand on the fence, debating which way to go. So today, I’m making it official. I didn’t think I would bring this to the show, and to be honest, it’s frowned upon to do this, but here we are giving you my vote.
Now, before you storm the radio station or flood my DMs with heated opinions, let me just explain. What I felt before… I thought that was the reliable, and trendy. But let’s be real…do we want to settle for something just because everyone else believes it? I want something that’s more than just pretty to look at but can handle the wild things life throws at you. That’s who and what gets my vote.
Some of you might be thinking, “The beliefs you had, you thought were bold, confident, and everywhere you looked everyone else agreed” Or maybe you’re thinking, “No, I never went there because you thought everyone did it for attention.” I get it… both definitely have their charm. But I just realized there is one that represents my core values: durability, versatility, and won’t break under pressure.
You Deserved This Open Letter About My Vote
If you haven’t figured it out by now. I figured out my vote. I am moving on from my Stanley and going back to my Hydro Flask. So, while the Stanley may continue to dominate Instagram, moms, and teens everywhere, I’m casting my vote for the tried and true. It’s not about what’s trending; it’s about what works best for you.
Sincerely,
A Proud Hydro Flask User
P.S. No matter which side of the hydration debate you’re on, just keep drinking that water y’all!

A Dulce de Leche Latte and a Guava Agua Fresca
Two refreshing drinks for a mid-day pick-me-up!
On the left is a Dulce de Leche latte. This is a latte made with milk and a sweetened caramelized milk syrup. It’s sweet and creamy from the caramelized milk syrup, which adds that dulce de leche flavor.
Dulce de Leche is a popular caramel sauce that’s thick and rich, it’s basically a caramel sauce that’s used in a plethora of sweets across Latin America and Europe. Next to the latte is a guava fresca. This is an infused guava drink with a water base. It’s tangy, slightly acidic and sweet. This would pair perfectly with a shot of tequila. But, it’s perfectly refreshing to drink this guava fresca by itself. It’s a great drink to go with any of the meals at Milpa.
Arbol Potatoes
Crispy roasted potatoes tossed in arbol salsa.
These Arbol potatoes are the perfect side dish to any of the fresh entrees at Milpa. They’re perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They have a perfect satisfying crunch that explodes with flavor. Delicious, comforting and warm, the Arbol potatoes are a must-try item on the menu.
Everyone’s arbol salsa recipe is different. But the main star of the salsa is the “chile de árbol” also translated to arbol peppers. These peppers have different layers of flavor that are earthy and nutty. According to Vera Mexicana, an online Mexican goods retailer, “Árbol chilies are widely used for their sharp acidic heat rounded out by natural almost nutty side notes. . . The drying process really enhances the secondary flavors, adding a complexity not often found in spicy chilies.”
This beautiful arbol-infused flavor on top of the potatoes create a harmonious dish that just makes you happy.
Guava Horchata
The refreshing guava juice sits on top of the milky horchata drink,
The guava horchata is another drink you can order at Milpa. Horchata, a Mexican rice and milk drink, is poured into an icy glass. The guava juice is then added on top of the milky horchata.
Horchata usually has a creamy, cinnamon-like flavor that’s sweet and milky. It pairs perfectly with the sour guava juice because the combination of sweet and sour work well together. This would be another refreshing drink to enjoy during a scorching-hot summer day.
