This year for our ladies Christmas dinner, it was unanimous (except for me!) that we have lasagna as the main course! And I was voted as the one to make it! It was accompanied with a lettuce and apple salad, rolls, and bunuelos for dessert! Everything was delicious - even the lasagna, and especially the bunuelos! Go to http://rollybrook.com/bunuelos.htm to see how to make them! Looks like a lot of work to me! Ours, made by Maru, were drizzled with sugar and piloncillo, which is the raw sugar cane sweetness - luscious!
Ivonne led us in some fun games. I briefly shared a Christmas article we had just that week uploaded to ObreroFiel, on how to make Christmas more meaningful for their families.
Several kids joined us, as did the young people who had their weekly reunion at the same time! They were happy to help us finish up the delicious meal! And not a crumb of bunuelos was left! In fact, not a crumb of anything was left!
We exchanged cups which were filled with all sorts of things - especially candy! Reyna, who struggles to support herself and her three grandchildren, thought her typical cups from the market were too "poor" to share, but when one of them was opened, several ladies thought to themselves, "I wish I'd gotten that one!" They were beautiful!
