Mi Presentacion de Comida Hispana

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!

Alaska Day 8 - Wasilla

The second to last day of our trip, we had a relaxed travel day back south with the goal of ending up somewhere near enough to Anchorage for us to turn in the RV on time the next morning. Jim did some fishing (no luck), we had a leisurely breakfast in our boondocked RV, and wondered when exactly a huge moose pooped so close to our RV during the night. Fishing by our boondocked RV We didn't have a campground reserved for the night, but knowing that Anchorage campgrounds are primarily super expensive parking lots, we decided to stop 45 mins north in Wasilla. The city might be best known as the hometown of Sarah Palin, and it was covered with Palin signs. We later learned that Alaska was holding elections this Tuesday (Palin lost). In more entertaining news, Wasilla is also home to the Iditarod Headquarters and Museum. The Iditarod is a long-distance sled dog race covering over 900 miles in 8+ days. The headquarters had dog houses but no dogs visible during our visit, so we looked ar...

Votes on bath layout?

I hated this bathroom so much. The drop ceiling, the vinyl wood parquet floor tiles, the plastic sheeted fake tile walls. It was very exciting to destroy it. Our original plan was to keep the sink and toilet where they were, but swap out the tub for a smaller shower in the corner. Once everything was gone, we realized we had enough room for the sink on the same back wall rather than across from the toilet. We weren't positive if we had enough room, until the shower base and sink base were delivered this week. Now, I'm thinking this is definitely the way to go. There's so much more space to move than before (it was tight when I was pregnant)! Here are some shots of the bathroom, pre-demo: The after-demo pic below is the view through the doorway (same as the shot above), with the shower and sink bases roughly in place. On the far left, the newspaper template shows the actual toilet measurements. The blue tape on the wall is where we think the beadboard will end (same height a...
