Latino Cultural Arts Center
2600 Live Oak St, Dallas, TX 75204



General Admission: $15

Teatro Luna Box Office: 773-819-5862
Additional Questions: info@caramiatheatre.org

As part of their national tour, Teatro Luna, returns to Dallas from Chicago for a one-night-only performance of their new devised performance, Generation Sex. The all female Latina theater troupe creates one-of-a-kind works that explore issues relating to Latinas in the United States.

In Generation Sex, Teatro Luna bares all without blushing as they explore how technology has transformed sex, love, and our relationships. With the new rules of feminism now reduced to 140 characters or less, the Lunáticas dissect the tragically outdated ideas of femininity women are still forced to perform, tackling questions like: What is the art of seduction in a digital world that leaves little to the imagination? Can we Instagram loneliness? Is it possible to resist our avatars and be our true selves online? Has Facebook flipped how we define family? From sexting to Skype to the dark side streets of cyberspace, the Ladies of Luna explode how hollow soundbytes and played out listicles shape today's quest for love and satisfaction, with a touch warmer than your welcome screen.

TNA Show Guests: Melissa Whalen of BCC

The beautiful ladies of BCC and PME Empire will be in studio with the TNA Show on fbrn.us in the Talk Bowl from 9-11 pm.

Thoughts on Fast Food Strike: Capitalism in Progress



There have a been a lot grumblings about the Fast Food Workers Strike.  Normally, the grumblings reside in the comment sections for sites and Facebook. 

The usual terms get thrown around "want something for nothing," "entitlements", "pull yourself up by the boot straps", and many more other clichés to characterize the movement as lazy people trying to come up without working for it.

Lots of talk about "if you double the wages, it will double the price of your Big Mac, Whoppers, and Frosties."  Let's not tout our own education and in the same reader comment post says something uneducated like "if you double the salary, it will double the price of the Big Mac."  I am sorry that is dumb.  "Nobody is going to pay more for a Big Mac."  We're not?  Are you serious?

In 1986, the Big Mac cost $1.60.  In 1996, the Big Mac cost $2.36.  In 2006, you paid $3.10 and right now you are paying $4.20.  As longs as McDonald's are putting out food that we don't have to cook ourselves (no matter how bad it is for us) we are going to buy it.

All that's not even my original rant that made me waddle off the couch after finishing my Biggie-sized fries and Dr Pepper to the kitchen table to type this up. 

My rant is about how so many pro-capitalism people do not see this for what is.  These strikes are an example of Capitalism.  We are watching a group of people who are negotiating a price for the services they provide.  Imagine that minimum wage workers using capitalism to their benefit. 

These people are telling the franchise owners and corporations what they believe the market is for the service they provide.  Isn't that what every American does when they try to negotiate their salary, during merit raises evaluations, or trying to win that contract bid?

Let's watch capitalism in progress.

Andres Aguilar is one of the hosts of the TNA Show.  The TNA Show is live every Friday night from 9 to 11 pm at fbrn.us in the Talk Bowl.

Steak and BJ Day!

Here is the Steak and BJ Day Anthem:



Below is an explanation of Steak and Blow Job Day taken from The Official Steak and BJ Day site:

Some say it was invented by the Romans in 269AD, and institutionalized through St Valentine’s cousin,
Claudius Fellatio. Others suggest that when World War II ended in 1945, president Harry S. Truman had the FBI covertly spread the word to act as a “welcome home” for the troops.

All we really know, is that Steak and BJ Day is pretty damn awesome.The overarching theory is one of “Man’s Valentine’s Day.” You know the drill. Every 14th of February men get the chance to display their fondness for a significant other by showering them with gifts, flowers, dinner, and
many other romantic baubles. They rack their brains for that one special gift that will show their spouse
that they truly care.

Well here’s a little secret: men feel a tad left out.

They’re just too proud or too embarrassed to admit it. Sure seeing that smile on their face is priceless,
but that smile is the result of weeks of blood, sweat and consideration. Which is why this very holiday was created.

March 14th is henceforth “Steak and Blowjob Day.” Simple, effective and self explanatory;
this holiday has been created so that the ladies can show their man how much they truly care for him.
No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town; the name explains it all: just a steak and a BJ.

That’s it.Not only will Steak and Blowjob Day be joyous day of sensuality for the men, but it will even instigate more effort during February for the women! It’s win win, gentlemen and ladies.

Turkey Day Recipes: Part 3A Bourbon Pecan Pie

If you haven’t started on your dinner, now is probably zero hour. If you haven’t made your pies yet you should do so and wrap in plastic and store on the counter. Also any other desserts can be made in advanced and stored in the refrigerator. I am adding a couple of recipes today to get things moving as there are only a couple of more days to the big show. Now here is an apple pie recipe that was requested. I’m keeping these recipes simple and I won’t get too extravagant.

Bourbon Pecan Pie

• 3 large eggs
• 3 1/2 ounces sugar
• 6 ounces golden syrup
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 1 tablespoon bourbon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 8 ounces pecans, coarsely chop 6 ounces and leave the remaining 2 ounces whole

Now this recipe is assuming you have a pie crust , either frozen or your own. If you need one please feel free to email info@thetnashow.com.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

Combine all ingredients except the pecans.

Add the coarsely ground pecans to the bottom of your pie crust.

Add your filling on top of the chopped pecans and pie crust.

Bake for 20 minutes

Arrange the last 2 ounces of pecans around the edge and finish baking for another 15 minutes.

Temperature should be 200 degrees. Or inserted toothpick should pull out clean, when done.

Cool for 3-4 hours on a cooling rack on countertop before serving. Enjoy!

Turkey Day Recipes: Part 1 The Turkey

Every year without fail on Thanksgiving Day I am bombarded by family and friends with questions and concerns about their favorite Thanksgiving Day recipes. I’ve decided this year in an effort to be off the phone and spend more time on my own creations (that’s right Andres my own CREATIONS) that I would do a series of blogs to help make your Thanksgiving effortless and taste spectacular.

First off we will start with center stage, the turkey. Now there are simple guidelines to follow that will keep you safe and looking like a well-seasoned culinarian.

If you haven’t brined a turkey, you should; if you have, you’re on the right track. Now, without getting too technical, brine is simply at its basic level, salt water and will help with keeping your bird moist and aid in seasoning if you decide to do so. Here are brining guidelines:

• ½ cup salt to every gallon of water you use
• Brine a fully thawed bird for 8-12 hours for a bird 12-20lbs.
• Brine in the refrigerator
• Rinse brine off and pat dry before proceeding

Now that the bird is prepped, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Roast for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to no lower than 325 degrees. I’ll have approximate times posted below. 

Now to stuff or not to stuff is a personal preference, I choose not to as it lengthens the cooking time. If you want the effect without the added time, simply stuff your bird with the cooked stuffing 20 minutes before total turkey cook time is over. I also recommend either using a turkey rack or I prefer a miropoix, which is simply diced onions, carrots and celery. Place the bird over this bed with your favorite herbs. For added crispness and help with moistness rub your turkey with canola oil or butter under the skin. You can also incorporate fresh herbs here. Hope this at least put you on the right track, Happy Thanksgiving.

Approximate Turkey Cooking Times: 

                                                   UN-STUFFED TURKEY

4 to 8 pounds.............1-1/2 to 3-1/4 hours
8 to 12 pounds................2-3/4 to 3 hours
12 to 14 pounds...............3 to 3-3/4 hours
14 to 18 pounds...............3-3/4 to 4-1/4 hours
18 to 20 pounds...............4-1/4 to 4-1/2 hours
20 to 24 pounds...............4-1/2 to 5 hours

STUFFED TURKEY

8 to 12 pounds................3 to 3-1/2 hours
12 to 14 pounds...............3-1/2 to 4 hours
14 to 18 pounds...............4 to 4-1/4 hours
18 to 20 pounds...............4-1/4 to 4-3/4 hours
20 to 24 pounds...............4-3/4 to 5-1/4 hours

Playoff Bound Cowboys?

Is it too soon to say the Dallas Cowboys are playoffs bound?

After beating the Eagles 38-23 in Philly, the Cowboys are looking at a favorable schedule the rest of the way.  It is possible a 9-7 Cowboys team could win the division and go to the playoffs this year.  I know I know, someone check my blue and silver pipe for some of that new Denver Mile High Wacky Tabacky, but look at the rest of the schedule.  Dallas could end up 5-2 the last 7 games of the season.

Week 11 Cleveland (2-7) at Dallas
Week 12 Washington (3-6) at Dallas
Week 13 Phildelphia (3-6) at Dallas
Week 14 Cincinnati (4-5) in Cincinnati
Week 15 Pittsburgh (5-3) at Dallas
Week 16 New Orleans (4-5) at Dallas
Week 17 Washington (3-6) in Washington

The current division leaders, 6-4 NY Giants have a real tough road ahead of them the last 6 games.  Their schedule proposes a real possibility of going 3-3 the last 6 games.

Week 11 Bye
Week 12 Green Bay (6-3)
Week 13 at Washington (3-6)
Week 14 New Orleans (4-5)
Week 15 at Atlanta (8-1)
Week 16 at Baltimore (7-2)
Week 17 Philadelphia (3-6)

5 out of the last 7 games are at Cowboys Stadium, so Cowboys Fans who are lucky enough to go to the games, please don't wait for an email from Jerry asking you to get loud.  Make some noise!  It is almost Christmas time, let your Blue and Silver Balls hang out!

A quick note to Jerry, you should consider giving some seats away to some rowdy True Blue fans who are watching the game at a bar, home, or in their garage (like me)!  We may not spend hundreds of dollars on some seats, but we lose our voices every Cowboy game!

Again, is it too soon to say the Dallas Cowboys are playoffs bound?
