We look at the story of La Llorona, the Weeping Woman of Mexico -- from her Aztec roots to her role in modern society. 

Our Curious Cocktail this week is from MuyBuenoCookbook.com: La Llorona -- Shake 3 ounces Pisco Brandy, 1 ounce fresh lime juice, 1 ounce fresh lemon juice, 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar, ice, and a dash of Angostura bitters in a shaker. Pour into a cocktail glass, and add dry ice for a spooky effect (but don't touch it!)

This week, we're curious about cat beds, The Duchess on Netflix, I hate Susie, Golden Girls, seeing friends, and sitting outside.
