| Posole base |
My church had a party night to celebrate Mexican Independence Day. Each ward had a boot where they sold food. Then there was music, dancing, bull riding (on a mechanical bull), and at the end of the night, karaoke. My ward sold Posole, which was a big hit. They were thinking of selling Menudo, which is almost the same as Posole, but Posole uses meat and Menudo uses tripe. At least that is how I understand it. Posole has white hominy, meat, and chilis in a broth. It is served with various toppings like cabbage (or lettuce), radishes, onion, lime, oregano, and tortilla chips. It was really good. I'll have to learn how to make it. But I'm still waiting for the recipe for enchiladas potosinas.
I learned a little bit of Latin dancing, but I think I will need a lot more practice if I will ever be good at it. I thoroughly enjoyed myself while getting a taste of Mexican Culture. It was a good night. And I'm glad for the 3-day weekend.
