Style Magazine - May 2022
Starting the month off with a mighty bang is Cinco de Mayo that commemorates the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French Empire (and is NOT their Independence Day which is celebrated September 16). We love a good party and never pass up the chance to have one. So, with that as inspiration, we bring you this month’s “30+ Local Latin American Restaurants To Try!” feature (page 85) that’s full of intoxicating eats that will guarantee a fiesta (definitely followed by a siesta!). While researching this article, we came across many other South American restaurants that warranted mention, thus expanding the feature to include Salvadoran, Brazilian, and other cuisines that will knock your socks off. Another holiday we can’t wait to celebrate this month is Mother’s Day (May 8). We all have our own ways of showing affection and appreciation towards our moms (or mother figures) on Mother’s Day, but as a magazine, we’ve come to love our “Get to Know” article each May that profiles some of the most magnificent mothers to grace our neighborhoods. Not a single one of them fails to inspire and warm our hearts, and this year’s “Mighty Moms” piece (page 16) is no less. If it weren’t already apparent, we’ve got so much good content on the following pages. So, grab a margarita (or any of the coffees in our “Hot List” department on page 102—if that’s more your thing), grab the family (including mom!), and make the most of May. Cheers and happy everything! —Tara Mendanha tara@stylemg.com

MALLARD<br />
DUCK<br />
TALES<br />
5 Fun Facts<br />
1<br />
Mallard ducks are the most<br />
common and recognizable<br />
ducks in the Northern<br />
Hemisphere.<br />
2<br />
Their outermost feathers<br />
are waterproof due to an oil<br />
secreted from a gland near<br />
their tail.<br />
3<br />
Female mallards typically<br />
lay about one dozen eggs,<br />
and the incubation period<br />
lasts just under one month.<br />
4<br />
Duckbills are sensitive with<br />
many touch sensors, similar<br />
to a human’s palm and<br />
fingertips.<br />
Where<br />
5<br />
Females make the widelyknow<br />
“quack” sound. Males<br />
produce raspier one- and<br />
two-note calls.<br />

“One of the great things<br />
about living in our area is<br />
how recreation and wildlife<br />
share the many water<br />
features as seen in this<br />
image on Lake Natoma.”<br />
