Mi Presentacion de Comida Hispana

By

This is an assignment for my Spanish class, a presentation about a Hispanic food. ¡Vamanos!

Nota: Yo no se como escribir acentos en este blog, lo siento.

En mi viaje a Antigua, Guatemala, mi familia quierio probar mucha comida nueva. Nosotros probamos platos tradicionales guatemaltecos como pepian y kak'ik, los guisos (stews) con verduras y pollo, pavo, o tofu sobre arroz. Tambien probamos muchos postres: bunuelos, rellenitos, flan, y platanos en mole. 

Platanos en mole (mas deliciosos que los otros postres)


Bunuelos (tantos ricos como los platanos, y tan grande!)

A mis hijas, se gustan mucho los licuados (una bebida con frutas y leche o agua). Todos los restaurantes sirven los licuados. Las frutas populares en licuados aqui son mora (blackberry), fresa, mango, pina, y papaya. 

Estan disfrutando los licuados

Para ellas, la mejor comida en Antigua no es una comida guatemalteca, es la pupusa. Las pupusas son de El Salvador, pero son muy populares en Guatemala para el almuerzo o el cena. Tambien son buenos para merendar. Una pupusa esta hecha de maiz como una tortilla, pero una pupusa es mas gruesa (thicker) que una tortilla. 

Las pupusas con curtido y salsa

Tu escoges que sabores van dentro la pupusa. Los rellenos (fillings) mas populares son queso, chicharron (cerdo), o frijoles. Una pupusa revuelta tiene los tres. Los restaurantes tambien sirven pupusas con otras verduras, pollo, o carne. Nosotros vimos un menu con pupusas con peperoni o "Hawaiana" (jamon, pina, y queso). 

La masa cubre (covers) todo el relleno, mas como un tamale que una arepa. No es como un sandwich. Es tradicional servir las pupusas con curtido (una ensalada de col (cabbage), cebolla, zanahoria, y vinagre) y una salsa tomate. No es picante. 

Para hacer las pupusas, mezcla (mix) masa harina, agua, y sal. Toma un poco de masa y la forma un circulo (circle). Pone el relleno en el circulo. Dobla (fold) la masa para cubrir (to cover) el relleno. Acaricia (pat?) la masa entre las manos hasta es plana:

Mi hija menor nos la prepara.

Las cocina en una plancha para 2-4 minutos, entonces cocina el otro lado para 2-4 minutos mas.

Yo espero que tu pruebas esta comida rica y la disfrutas tanto como mis hijas!

Ooh, esta pupusa es deliciosa!

Have I mentioned that Bill rocks?

The original clawfoot tub now has a new faucet and a shower!, which gives us a full working bath upstairs. We first thought the tub would require professional reglazing, but it turns out that some sanding/painting on the outside and a serious cleaning on the inside was all it needed. Shower conversion kit arrived last week and Bill set about the super-fun task of removing all the old parts and hooking everything up. Boy, does he love plumbing! Old faucet and previous "shower", a short length of garden hose with a plastic sprayer on the end: New faucet (which is so bright and shiny, pic doesn't do it justice, love it): Ready for shower curtains and final touches: It did take 5 trips to Lowes and 3 trips to Home Depot IN TWO DAYS (damn those old, non-standard plumbing sizes), but it works! In other news, I think the second color on the hallway is going to work (first one = too beige), so Bill will start on trim this week. Full final before and after pics are here .

Next Trip Coming Soon!

By
 Today's post was written by my 7-year-old daughter, Zadie: Hi, I'm going to tell you about our trip to Costa Rica that we are going on in 12 days also I'm the youngest daughter of the person who wrote this blog so the day after school gets out we go on our trip. It will suck. I don't even get a day to relax before our trip. At least it is not like another of our trips when we had to wake up at 3 am. But we still have to get up at 6 am. When we get there, our house only has three bedrooms so I will have to sleep with my sister and I don't want that and she does not want that. But at least we get a tv and our own beds. Oh and the planes we take there are one to Charlotte which is less than an hour long and then one to Costa Rica which is 4 hours long. I don't know the activities so bye. PS - I hope you liked my writing because I cannot see half of the letters on my mom's keyboard so this was hard to type.
