Julio Cesar's birthday is the 15th, so his family brought two cakes. His loving, sweet, tender sister stuffed his face into the cake when he did the "mordida." He tried to get out of this horrid Mexican custom (my opinion!!), but couldn't. But he's a good sport!!

Here's what I made. Banana oatmeal cookies - they were yummy!

So were these!

So was this! Although I ate mine with just lemon, salt and chile.
This one has mayo and cheese on it.

Tostadas de pata (pig's feet tostadas).

No, I didn't try them.

Jicama with chile and salt. Enjoyed by Adriana and Adaida, two of Miguel and Minera's adorable girls.
