Today we went to hang out at Abuelita Cata’s house again. We had lunch there of tortillas and beans and some chicken leftover from last night’s dinner that we had there.
Got to wash dishes again, in the sunlight. Then we just kind of roamed around the property. Her place is just so peaceful and relaxing to be at. All though later in the afternoon, the noise picked up, as the neighbors had a back-hoe there digging a new well for water for their crops.
Once it got to be evening again, Abuelita started preparing dinner, and I asked to help. She quickly handed the cheese over for me to shred (I think it was queso Oaxaca, which resembles string cheese, you just pull it apart to shred it). Then as she’s warming the tortillas on her clequil (a clay comal in the corner of her kitchen that is heated by a wood burning fire below - an all purpose griddle), she starts to prepare a salsa in her molcajete (or as Josue calls it, an Aztec blender). After I’m done with the cheese I take over on the molcajete to finish up the salsa. I express an interest to her that I’d like to learn to cook like she does, and she offers to teach me how to make tortillas tomorrow morning - I can’t wait!!
So, dinner tonight was a fresh pot of beans, quesadillas and a fresh salsa! Once again, very delicious! Oh with agua de limon to wash it down with!
Buenas noches for now! We’ll try to keep updating this as much as possible, hope you enjoy so far - the Bugamundos!
