Did You Know No. 4: Iron Man Hermosa Beach Style

The United States Independence Day is being held every 4th of July. During this day, Americans commemorate their freedom from the Kingdom of Great Britain (now UK). This day is commonly associated with fireworks, barbecues, parades, fairs, carnivals, concerts, picnics, baseball games, ceremonies, political speeches, and family reunions. Being the National Day of the U.S., the 4th of July celebration brings Americans closer together. Plus, it grants employees their day off wherein they could forget all the deadlines.

Aside from all the activities mentioned above, there are other unique events happening in various parts of the U.S. One of these events is the Iron Man Competition held at Hermosa Beach every year. Millions of Americans visit the South Bay as it is known for being the best spots in the country to celebrate the holiday. During this competition, contestants must run a mile, paddle a mile with their surfboards, and then drink a 6-pack beer at the end. The first one to consume all the beverages wins. This competition starts at 9:00am and anyone over 21 years old is eligible to join.

The Iron Man Competition in Hermosa Beach is known to be the craziest way to kick off the holiday. Aside from sports, beers, and other recreational activities, the 4th of July also serves as a feast wherein various, savory dishes are out for grabs. It is also the time when even complete strangers get to smile to each other. However, there might be hindrances in achieving this during the holidays.

South Bay, CA & Parrot Squawks

Did You Know No. 3: Can You Hear the Parrot Squawks?

Have you ever heard the parrots squawk in your neighborhood? If you’re living in the South Bay, you probably hear them every day as the largest flocks of wild parrots are living in this area. Residents say that they could hear the loud squawks of these parrots all over town.

Wild parrots are parrots that have adapted to life in an ecosystem to which they are not native. These parrots may have been imported from the time that importation is not yet banned, and then escaped or released intentionally to the wild. Parrots have roughly 372 species with 86 genera. They are mostly found in subtropical and tropical areas and are divided into three super families: true parrots, cockatoos, and New Zealand parrots. The greatest diversity of parrots however can be found in Australasia, and South America.

Parrots have generally curved and strong bill, strong legs, upright stance, and clawed zygodactyl feet. Since most of the parrots are vividly colored and multi-colored (this makes them very attractive), people love to have them as pets. Parrots love to eat fruits, seeds, buds, nuts, and other plant materials. Although few species likes to eat animals and carrion; Lories and Lorikeets love to feed on soft fruits and floral nectar. Almost all parrots live in hollow trees and they lay white little eggs.

Since the parrots, along with crows, ravens, jays, and magpies are among the most intelligent birds, most people preferred them as pets. In addition, parrots can also imitate human voices making them more prevalent as pets than the other birds.

Overall, South Bay is not only famous because of the wild parrots. The town is also known to have the best orthodontic services offered by Beach Braces. Contact Beach Braces now to schedule an appointment: 310 – 379 – 0006.

Burritos

California: A Place to Enjoy Delicious Food

Burritos

Did You Know No. 2: Why Burritos are So Yummy?

Everybody loves burritos – a soft wheat flour tortilla stuffed with rich meat, refried beans, Mexican –style rice/plain rice, cheese, sour cream, salsa, lettuce, and other ingredients. The best Mexican food in California can be found in the South Bay. Of course, burritos are included in this list! The best burritos in town can be bought at El Gringo, Amigos Tacos, and El Burrito Jr. While more and more people are discovering the exquisite taste of burritos, only few of them really knows where it came from or how it was discovered.

How Burritos Are Created

Generally, burritos consist of flour tortilla folded or wrapped (in a cylindrical shape) in order to enclose the fillings. The tortilla flour is usually steamed or lightly grilled in order to make it pliable and soft. While most of the burritos sold in restaurants nowadays have several ingredients, refried beans and meat are sometimes the only ingredients in Mexican burritos. American-style burritos are known to have more ingredients as fillings compared to Mexican-style burritos.

Burritos and Its Yummy History

There are a lot of stories suggesting the discovery of burritos in history. One of the folk story states that a man named Juan Mendez sold tacos in the street using his donkey as a transport for the food and himself. To keep the food warm, he wrapped it in tortilla flour. The word “burrito” means little donkey and in Spanish, burro means donkey hence the name “burrito” was coined for the tacos he sold.

On the other hand, another story came suggesting that a street food vendor once sold tortilla wrapped food to poor children in a state-run middle school. The vendor calls the children his burritos and later on this term of endearment became the name of the food he sells. The two folk stories above may have brought the burritos we know today.

Does eating too many burritos causes you tooth problems? Don’t Worry! Beach Braces is here to help. Contact us at: 310 – 379 – 0006.
