Hola!
I just completed making DINNER HERE!! :) The cheesy potatoes and Meatloaf are cooking in the oven as we speak!! But I will say cooking is a bit different here, but I think grandma would be proud ... if it all turns out alright... that did it all by scratch!
I seem to forget how tiny items make our lives sooo much simpler! For instance... peelers to take the skin off of potatoes...my family doesnt have one. I had to cut off the skin with a steak knife! Also they did not have hash-brown potatoes, so after peeling the potatoes, I had to cut them up in hashbrown like pieces! Needless to say, all of that took me a good 45 mins! :) It was good though because it gave lucia and I a little time to talk as I cut potatoes and she made dessert. :)
Camblles Soup(Sp?) doesn't exist here either, so I made the cream of chicken soup from a little package. The cheddar cheese had to be grated, which was pretty normal.
They dont have a temperature "thing" on the oven so we just had to guess... :/ lol!
They all said it smells "rico" which translates to tasty / delicious / yummy / good .... tons of things really. You can use rico and linda/o for just about anything that is good. :)
We never drink milk, that seems to be reserved for café. Instead we usually drink juice or water, and Edgardo drink beer or wine. But I think we are all even drinking beer for this joyous occasion! :)
We shall see how it goes...
