I thought it was about time to show you the handiwork of a family in the church. Every week they sell alfajores and sometimes cuchuflis. A couple Sundays ago they made super-alfajores. They were half a size larger and marbled with white chocolate...an addition to the typical milk chocolate. Que rico!
- Double alfajore! Oh yeah!
Around this same time, Isa's family was blessed by two different families in the church with a bag of oranges and a bag of apples, both straight from the tree. Isa decided to make a pie to eat, and since her dad is diabetic, made the filling with "indulcente", a suger substitute, and left out the sugar in the crust. She was a little anxious to see how it turned out, but as you can see, the end picture was beautiful. It was delicious.
Un kutchen de manzanas.
This past Sunday, we had a great lunch together. Isa's sister, Elizabeth, and said sister's family came over for lunch. Eli's husband, Christian, grilled up some tasty churripan and pork chops. It was a gorgeous day outside and we carried the table to the patio. Close to the end, Pastor unexpectedly made churros. We stayed so long chatting and enjoying the time, that it was nearly five before things were cleaned up. Somewhere in the middle of everything, our precocious scalywag of a pup found a yogurt canister that Eli had thrown away after feeding Christina and brought it back to his bed to enjoy. He gets into almost everything now, I tell you!
The little thief!
A lovely and delicious lunch outside with the family-including Isabel's sister, Elizabeth, and Eli's family.
Even as the table was being cleared off, Isa and I were off to welcome home one of the teens who had spent the week at a Christian retreat. Though the surprise was spoilt by whisperings and shushings, I hope he was blessed. I know I enjoyed the time.
