Anne came to visit me. She is taken with puppies in bags. This is how I transport Saraki whether I’m riding my bike or I’m taking the bus.
Nora wanted to bake with me. We made coffee cake with a peanut topping!
Easter afternoon fun: swimming in the river. It was very refreshing!
Easter dinner: fried fish from Rio Monday, bean salad, sopa, tortillas (Paraguayan style), chicken and pasta, mandi’o.
Semana Santo. The following 7 pictures all involve chipa making.
1. Spreading the egg shells in the street.
2. Chopping down banana leaves. The chipa will be placed on banana leaves for baking in the tatakua.
3. Slicing the useful part of the leaf.
4. Of course we brought some banana’s home for a snack too (and later a banana peel war. I’m not sure how that got started, lol)
5. Kneading the chipa. We made an entire trough of chipa
6. Lots of chipa.
Teaching Nora how to make Mexican style flour tortillas
Taco’s (well sort of)! The kids even ate them with hot sauce. I think I’m rubbing off on them. Ingredients: Flour tortillas. Fillings: carne de soja and beans with onions, garlic, and spices. Fresh tomatoes. Soy sour cream (more like a garlic sauce, but delicious), and hot sauce.
Saraki. Is she getting any bigger? She’s 3 ½ weeks older than the first pictures.
