Holiday traditions for me really revolve around food. As a Latina, there was never an occasion where my family wasn’t all huddled in the kitchen cooking, laughing or just plain being ornery. Oh…you say we have a living room…What’s that? :)
One of the topics for this month’s EtsyBlogger’s Street Team carnival called for favorite holiday traditions. I will admit that while J and I do live away from family, that doesn’t stop me from making one of my two favorite desserts during the Holiday season.
Sadly, I don’t have time to get into the specifics of my recipes for these dishes as I’m busy finishing up for my show this weekend, so I’ll just leave you a picture of each of the dishes for your salivatory pleasure:
If you are the first person to guess what they are (and don’t cheat by clicking through to Flickr!), I’ll send you a little surprise. Leave a comment with your guess!
Here is mu guess… Flan (yum) and rice something?
Yum! It’s flan and arroz con dulce. My friend’s mom is Puerto Rican and used to make it for us all the time when I was a kid.
the second pic looks like bread pudding, though I might just have that on my mind…
Amanda’s right! It’s flan and arroz con dulce! I may have to make some this week. ;)
Amanda, send me your snail mail and I’ll send a little something your way. :)
(Rice “something” was pretty close Barbara!)
(We do make bread pudding…or something similar, but we call it “buddin”, Deb. I tend to like that one too, as it’s only made during the holidays for us, but these are definitely my two favorites.)
