I Eated It!

Whoo! I know that's bad grammar but it was funny. Anyway, I wanted to show a picture of a sopaipilla, a type of doughy treat eaten with honey, but I ate it. It was so good. My husband and I call them pillows because they they arrive to the table, they are puffed up like pillows. This restaurant we go to, La Terraza, has excellent sopaipillas. They're light and smell so good. This treat followed my lent dish of lemon butter tilapia on a wild grain rice pilaf, a bowl of lentils, and for dessert, capirotara, something like a bread pudding, but really sweet with sugar cane, raisins, coconut shavings, cheese and peanuts. Mmm. Now, I don't do the whole Lent thing, but the food is SOOO good. At least from a Mexican point of view.  I remember eating avas (lima bean stew) and lentils, and chick peas in a tomato stew. There was also fish and cream of corn.  My favorite is the shrimp egg patties smothered in red chili sauce accompanied by sliced cactus. Yum!

Anyway, I'm stuffed with dinner at this moment and here's what's left of the fluffy pillow I received for dessert:
