Salsa Festival

Last Saturday as part of our "Family P-day" we had Hermana Yolanda Calderon over to the mission home for some serious salsa lessons!
She was a master teacher and it was delightful to try to speak Spanish with her for a couple of hours while we worked. Cooking terms were not a big part of my Spanish tutoring, so this was really interesting.
You can see what we enjoyed the most...Braden is modeling EATING the delicious salsas.
We had Hermana Alvarez chopping her little heart out. Hermana Okeson was scribe, writing down all the ingredients we used for each recipe so we can try to type them up to share with each other. Go to the link at the top of this post to see video of how to remove an avocado pit!
It is therapeutic to cook...and after a long week, this was just what I personally needed.
Here are the salsas that we made: Blended red salsa/ salsa verde(green)/ Salsa con aguacate(avocado)/salsa rostada (roasted)/ and pico de gallo. They were all exelente! My favorite was the roasted red salsa, President liked the avocado or the roasted, and Braden loved the green muy picosa (very hot) salsa.
!Gracias Hermana Calderon por una noche de aprender, probar, y compartir!
