This week I took a break from my usual job as un explorador to try my hand at making bread. We made friends with the town’s (overly) enthusiastic break maker. Instead of our (painstakingly dull) Spanish class, we decided to apply our Spanish in the “business” setting and made bread. My job was to use the electric bread roller. Imagine reader, if you will, two rolling pins parallel to each other with only a centimeter in-between. Now add four horsepower and zero safety equipment and voila, electric bread kneed-er. After running the bread through this “machine” 60 times successfully without suffering a crush injury, we got to make the bread of our choosing. We made picos (triangle treats with brown sugar on top and cheese inside) and quesadillas (which much to our dismay are not the tasty tortilla snacks south of the boarder). All in all, it was a lot of fun and we got to eat everything we made for free!
I’ve officially been living in Nandasmo for more than 2 months. This means I’ve only got 2 weeks left! A week from Friday is our youth group competition and then off to Managua to become volunteers! Next time, I’ll fill you in on the progress with our prospective youth group business!
Dale pues,
Pedro
