Making bread
My Host Mom... teaching me how to make bread, cake, and tamales
Thursday December 24, 2009
On Christmas Eve I baked all day. I learned how to make bread, cake, and tamales. It was a long tiring day.
At 7 I went and visited Mr. Moh. I had some coconut bread and coffee (even though I don’t drink coffee). They put so much sugar in their coffee.
After that I went to K’ekchi mass with Carmelita. They sung and preached in K’ekchi. We did have a break to give our gifts. We did a KK (we call it secret santa or Pollyanna). KK stands for Kris Kringle. I had Rosa and she had me. I gave her an activity book, pencil, pencil case, sharpener, and a bingo game. She gave me a koshtal (mayan purse), and two pretty bracelets.
The ladies asked me stay until midnight (I was so exhausted, but I did stay because they invited me). I stayed and then had tamales and donuts at midnight (I never eat that late…)
Then I reached home at 1 am and went straight to bed… to wait for Santa… hehhe
