As we drove behind the secured gate, we heard a pitful blehhhhing - all I had to say was that I hoped it wasn't the baby crying for his mama.
No, I guess he was just lonely for his brother. The delicious meal we enjoyed was typical fiesta food from Tecpán, the hometown of both Victoriano and his wife Cristiana. We enjoyed barbeque (mixture of chicken, beef, and goat-mainly goat), salad of diced potatoes, carrots, onion, and peas with a little mayo to blend, and yellow rice with cilantro, as well as, Horchata to drink. For dessert we had platanos in mole (not my fav) and then afterwards, there was corn on the cob. It really wasn´t part of the meal but it was fresh so she had boiled it and since it was ready, everyone enjoyed some. (It really was the best corn we have had in the country. Usually the corn is dry but this was fresh - cut that morning and then boiled - yum!)
We experienced great fellowship and a delicious meal. The next time, we will enjoy different typical food. Victoriano and Cristiana are such blessings in allowing us to learn and adapt to our new culture.from left to right - David, Cristina, Victoriano, Ariel and Evelyn
I feel like Goliath standing next to Cristiana.
They are raising "Nacho" for their family reunion next year. We wouldn't make very good farmers...raising an animal as a pet to eat in the future...just couldn't do it.
Behind their house they have a wonderful garden. Cristiana says that any place that doesn't have something already on it, he plants corn or something. The garden was filled with corn, frijoles, and NUMEROUS fruit trees - lime, lemon/lime, avocado, apple, tangarine, peach, banana. We left with a bag full of limes and avocados. YUM!
