What's with the Pickles and Paprika?

     Well this is a very funny and long story, but I'll try to keep it interesting. I'm originally from South Texas and my home town is Laredo Texas , but I live in San Antonio Texas . My father and mother are both from south Texas, and I've grown up here for 23 plus years. I have 3 siblings including myself , my brother Alfonso III his kids Alfonso IV and Zoey and my lovely sister-in-law Laura, my sister Michele and her children Destinee and Eliseo III and my awesome brother-in-law Eliseo Jr, and me the baby:) No literally I am the baby in the family! My brother and me are 14 years apart and my sister and I are 10 years apart. So it's safe to say I was the UHHHHH were pregnant again child. Any how on to my families history cause this is very important!!!!!! My mother (Dolores) is descendant's of German , Italian....and the list continues according to my mother . My father (Alfonso Jr) on the other hand is Hispanic with Spanish , and Mexican-Indian blood. Needless to say I lived on the border of Texas and Mexico those 23 plus years , and of course some odd things always come from people who live borderline with 2 different cultures.
    Now that I have your attention, or maybe not....perhaps you've lost your train of thought and started thinking what does this have to do with the name of your blog???? Ok, so let me really get into the story. The whole concept behind pickles and paprika is that well I literally love Pickles with Paprika, I know weird for some but Delicious for others! :) Haha so there it is a whole family blood line and heritage just to tell you that I love pickles with paprika on them ! But something I always thought was why not pickles and paprika ...try saying that 10 times fast ! 
     In reality I started this blog to see if I could really commit to something , and maybe find some motivation in my own words. Perhaps there is a great metaphor in my thought of pickles and paprika ....or it's just a cute catchy blog name. I don't know yet where I'm going with this , but I know one thing I'm hitting this ground running .... or at least at a faster walking pace . 
Keep reading and always K.C.C.O
