Tinga (basically a Tostada with a really tasty chicken concoction)The past few weeks Rachel and I have been taking a Mexican cooking class. We love Mexican food in our house! :) Our teacher, Sandra, is from Mexico City and has a beautiful and heavy spanish accent. To her, everything we make is so "jummy jummy". Cute! Yesterday she was teaching us how to make a new dish and I asked her to spell it for us. She started out "A, L, A, M, "V as in Baby"... I swear that is what we all heard. She is so sweet. The first week she taught us how to make several different kinds of salsa. They eat salsa with everything, and you can mix some of them together, or with guacamole, for even more variety. The next week we did appetizers and made a couple of things I have definitely never heard of. I forgot to take pictures. Last night we made entrees. I will post pictures, but right now Blogger seems to be having issues with that. The class has been really fun and I have enjoyed spending time with my Rachel. It is taught at my alma mater, Cottonwood High, and it's been interesting spending time there. The place hasn't changed much since I went there 30, yes 30, years ago. In fact, a couple of my teachers are still there! Crazy. It seems like it was just yesterday. Anyway, we have one class left, desserts! The only Mexican dessert I know is flan, which is what we'll be making. To be honest, I am usually too full after eating Mexican food to ever order dessert. :)
Cute Sandra, our instructor.
