This past Monday, we celebrated Dia de la Raza here on campus. It is a school holiday dedicated to the celebration of the international diversity we share. The day included presentations from each country, a parade, flag raising, and an international meal. Here are a few pictures I snapped the night before of preparations taking place in the kitchen!
Above, Lilian from Honduras prepares tamales from her home country.
Filling ingredients include a thick, corn sauce, chicken, rice, peas, bananas, raisins, and olives.
She wrapped each tamale in a large banana leaf.
Then, she cooked them on the stove!
Hermana Nieves, our weekend dorm mom, made delicious "pancitas" - little bread-cookies - from a recipe she received from her grandmother.
I got to try one hot out of the oven and they were scrumptious!
