Inspiration Avenue's Show and Tell Challenge: This little piggy

Inspiration Avenue is asking us to show and tell a favorite post.  I haven't played in an IA challenge for a long time, and I felt I should drop in and see what changes have been made.   I hope everyone considers it a viable Show and Tell entry, since I believe this is as much a work of art, as my mixed media art.

Lou Ann said we could share a piece of art that we created.  We could share something old, if we so desired. So I am bringing back this post I created back on September 7, 2010.  It seems quite appropriate, too, since I recently started a T Stands For Tuesday group, where you can drink anything and talk about anything.  This was one of my favorite Tea posts from days gone by.
 
This little piggy went to market,

This little piggy stayed home,

This little piggy had roast beef tofu,

This little piggy had none.

And this little piggy went...

"Wee wee wee" all the way home...

Totally trivial information:

Nursery rhyme words and lyrics first published in 1728.

"Marranitos” or “cochintos” is a Latin American pan dulce (pastry) brown, piglet-shaped molasses cookie that translates to “little pig.” Traditional marranitos get their spicy flavor from molasses and anise. Although sometimes called gingerbread pigs, there is no ginger or cinnamon in them.

They can be found in Mexican bakeries that sell pan dulce. 

If you want to be decadent, serve them with ice cream.

These piglets go by many names: cochinitos, lechoncitos, chanchitos, and marranitos. Whatever you call them, you can’t keep them from jumping into your coffee. They also go well with black tea.

Mug and matching freshly ironed dish towel by Taylor and Ng, both dated 1979.

Who in the world would iron a dish towel other than for show!

My drink of choice this lovely Tea Tuesday is freshly ground French roast coffee with half and half.

Obviously, I'm linking to Inspiration Avenue this week and NOT to Tuesday Tea.  Thanks Lou Ann, because this brought back lots of fun memories.
