Zila´s mom is a warm, charismatic, joyful, energetic, loving woman! She is busy all the time in the house, she loves to cook with tango music playing.
Mom brought me this beautiful scarf from Argentina. She has that kind of golden touch, she can make even an ordinary napkin look beautiful or having fresh bread with coffee seem like tea with the Queen.
Yesterday morning, mom gave me a coral necklace that she has had for a long time. She told Zila not to be jealous! I will treasure it always. Now I will try to find some earrings to go with it. So special, thanks Mom! It means a lot to me and all of you that this is my favority color - corals, peach, pinks...
This is Mom making me a grilled ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast, this is a very common breakfast food. They make it using a pudgy pie iron.
Mom only cooks with fresh ingredients. She goes shopping nearly every day. Yesterday we went to 3 different markets to get all the things she wanted and needed. Each market specialized in something different. A couple fruits that are quite expensive here are apricots and black cherries. Black cherries are 50 cents each! And they were not very fresh, quite small, soft and old.
OMG! It was something to see! After shopping, Mom put on her baking hat and apron and got busy making a lot of things! Wow!
Here we are ready for a delicious family lunch. On the left is Zila´s brother and 14 year old nephew.
After lunch, mom began baking again, this time she was making cheese bread. She doesn´t measure anything, just a little of this and some of that and two eggs and then adds a third egg. Then she is happy with the texture of the dough.
Yum! Fresh little cheese bread bites!
