Feliz Navidad AmigosIn Mexico, Christmas feels different than in the United States. It's not about presents. It's about getting together with friends, and big family groups – even if there's not enough chairs and 14 kids have to sleep on the living room floor! It's about sharing good times over big pots of tamales, pozole, a little tequila and crispy, cinnamon-ny buñuelos. In traditional families, children don't receive their presents until King's Day, the 6th of January. Christmas Eve is full of joyous fun, card playing, catching up and playing with all the little kids. Memorable times. We wish you a Feliz Navidad and a big fiesta!
Tortilla soupThis soup is fast, easy to make and yummy - perfect for those busy, chilly, holiday evenings before tree trimming or shopping. It's my favorite! angela In a soup pot, sauté 4-5 cloves of minced garlic, 1 large chopped onion in 2 Tablespoons butter. Add, in this order:
Simmer for 20 - 30 minutes while you prepare individual bowls with a handful of the best, thickest, crunchiest tortilla chips* you can find, grate a little Jack cheese over the chips and then spoon the hot soup over the chips to fill the bowl. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream & minced green onion if you have it. Serve with hot tortillas & carrot sticks to complete the meal. *I get delicious tortilla chips from the local Mexican market from a non-name brand company. They don't get soggy. Let me know how you like it! |

Loteria is a traditional Mexican Christmas game, played by all ages. It's like Bingo, Mexican style, using dried frijoles for markers! We carry two loteria games. One with traditional images and one was designed by a contemporary artist. No batteries required! Mexicans have fond memories of large family gatherings for Christmas Eve... the home filled with the aroma of tamales, ponche and cinnamon buñuelos. It's a relaxed and casual evening of men playing cards, women serving hot food before heading off to midnight Mass. Rowdy games of loteria are played until dawn at crowded dining tables with little ones sliding in between their favorite uncles and grandparents. Since there are colorful pictures on the cards, even young children have a good chance to beat their elders! |
