Today I was invited to cook all day because of the wedding that will take place tomorrow. It is common to bake all the food the day before because the whole village was invited, including other villages too. There were probably 600 people going to attend the wedding. Therefore, they killed 7 big pigs, made so much pork caldo, and pooch and corn tortilla. They needed to grind a lot of corn and make tortillas by hand.
They cooked from 6am Saturday to 6am the next morning. The women never slept. The wedding was 8am on Sunday.
