Three students came to our home to teach this American mom how to make home-made maize tortillas. We had a great time together. Reese, center, was a fantastic leader, telling everyone what to do. It took several hours but the product was worth it. We turned them into guesadillas. The flavor and texture of the tortillas in Mexico far exceed the ones sold in grocery stores in America. They are fairly easy to make. Also, I have never eaten such wonderful guesadillas. This is one skill I will be happy to take home with me.These young men visit our home daily. We cook together, play cards, play basketball, practice our language and go swimming. I wish we would have brought more games and card games. We have played a thousand rounds of UNO.
This is Tony. He is one of our regulars. His mom lives in the United States, having remarried and started a new family after his father died. Tony lives with his Grandparents and is extremely poor. (We have heard lots of stories like this).
Read it and weep, these nice young men insisted on cleaning up the mess after cooking. In my house, the rules stands; if you cook the meal then you don't have to do the clean-up. I tried to shew them out, really, I did!
