We celebrated Thanksgiving today with our community. Each person made at least one dish of their own (though Chris made about 8 million baked goods), and we invited our Lutheran Center
cocinera (cook) to come join us - this time
we would cook for
her. More people kept walking by, so we invited them in, Mexican seminarians, professors, etc, etc. We even had fun with a piñata for a Mexican twist on our
fiesta!
At the end of the evening, Chris and Gloria (our
cocinera/cook) exchanged goodbyes. On Sunday we move Chris to Guadalajara, so our Thanksgiving feast was also a final
fiesta with Chris as a part of our community. Bittersweet, just like the chocolate chips in Chris's chocolate pecan pie... But a fun time was had by all, and Gloria now wants the recipes to all of our dishes, so she can surprise her family with a
muy norteamericana Christmas dinner! What a cultural exchange...
Feliz Dia de Gracias Para Todos!
