Cultural diversity

Today was so much fun!

We got together at the church

with some Hispanic

friends

from our community

and learned how to make tortillas!

I've always wanted to learn how,

and they were so kind

to share their expertise with us.

I learned:

nothing is measured with

cups or spoons, it is all

eye-balled, so it takes some

practice!

(And that made it difficult

to write down recipes!)

a tortilla press makes it

sooo much easier!

and they turn out prettier

than hand-rolling.

Corn tortillas are pressed,

flour are hand-rolled.

This sweet lady

showed us how to make

Bunuelos, which she

compared to donuts, only they

are rolled out flat and allowed to dry,

and then deep-fried.

Delicious!

It was such a fun way

to spend a few hours,

we made new friends

and learned a

bit of their culture, too!
