Mexican and Guatemalan Independence Day


Guatemala celebrates its Independence Day on Sept. 15 and Mexico's is on the 16th. Mimi and I wanted to go to Miami to the party that the Mexican Consulate organizes every year but it didn't work out. We still wanted to have some Mexican food so I decided to cook some pozole. It is a soup made with pork, hominy and chiles that you eat with some lettuce, radishes, oregano and lemon. It is cooked on special occasions and we love it. The one I made was ok, not the best but it satisfied our cravings. I also made a flan. Don was in Boston so Carlos, Titi and I went to Luke and Mimi's and we had dinner there. Roc tried it too. We also played loteria, a Mexican version of bingo, that Carlos loves playing.
