Maybe you are wondering about this blog's name.

I was trying to think of a more interesting blog name than "The Crumptons" and I came up with "Los Gringos Chayoteros."

Our city here in Mexico is known for growing "chayotes." Chayotes are a green vegetable called "Buddha's Fist" in English. So people from this town are called "Chayoteros."

We are gringos living in Mexico and our children were born here, so they are chayoteros.

And that's the story of the name.
