Mabon Feast contribution

[sabrinamari]

I am bringing flan to our Mabon feasts.

I am doing so in honor of Armed Forces of National Liberation, the clandestine arm of the 1970s Puerto Rican Left (sister to the Black Power Movement), whose terrorist actions on behalf of Puerto Rican liberation and civil rights placed its operatives on the FBI's most wanted lists for over almost a decade.

And whose Spanish-derived acronym was : FALN, which will inevitably be pronounced......

Yes, the armed and extremely dangerous radical Puerto Rican movement had the same name as an egg custard.


P.S. Thank you, Patrick and Maggie, for the inspiration.

Can you make some when you're here for Fam Gath? Will you come early/stay late? Can we have coffee? When can I read the Diss. I'm actually really interested (go figure).

Beth, I would be happy to make flan for the family gathering. I am not sure when i am arriving or leaving yet---I'm trying to recruit other NJ folks for the trip. But yes, I'd like to do one or the other. And I very much want to spend some time talking with you---coffee sounds great! I am going to make a copy of the diss on Friday, when I go back to work, and mail it to you from my office.

My parents are here till Thursday, so I'm not online or at work much till Friday. I plan to write more then.
