Hallacas

[2018] 356/365: Hallacas

I finally had time to make my Hallacas! They are SO pretty compared to tamales. When it comes to comparing the taste though, I’m not able to. They are so different in texture and flavour. I was taken aback by the olives but other than that I thought it was delicious! I have my fingers crossed that Salim follows through and save me a few he’s making with his family. If I have those I can make a better judgement.

I’m pretty much the designated gift wrapper in my family. I remember wrapping my own gifts when I was younger so I was never surprised when I opened it. It’s better now. They just throw me everyone else’s gifts instead.

Liliana sent me a Christmas present! And I love it!! Thank you so much! Emmy helped me unwrap my presents and she couldn’t stop playing with the cup.
