On the Eighth Day of Christmas...

Our Mommy Spent 8 hours-a-cooking


My day was spent baking bread then cooking Hallacas (Venezuelan Tamale) with my Mom. The boys helped a little bit-- enough to experience the kitchen.
Thankfully the neglected orphans enjoyed their quiet day at home watching Curious George's "Christmas Monkey" and playing toys. At one point they even enjoyed craft (and snack) time with toothpicks and peppermint flavored marshmallows.

  2. That green thing on the counter is an hallaca. It's like a tamale and it's wrapped in a banana tree leaf.
