Posada

Making dinner, Ulises is actually in the
kitchen cutting onion :)

This is a week of Posadas, meaning Christmas parties.  I had one on Tuesday, which was fun.  They had good food as well.  There was another Posada tonight, and I have one tomorrow as well.  I guess you can count Saturday as an upcoming Posada, though the hosts call it a Holiday Open House instead.
Anyway, so tonight Ulises and I went over to a friend's house.  There we made a food that I can't remember what it is called.  It involves lost of different meats (mainly different varieties of pork, including bacon and hotdogs) with other things for flavoring put in a tortilla and served with pico de gallo.  It was pretty good, despite being made of pork.  After eating, we had karaoke.  It was outside, so I was a little cold, but at least they had some English songs this time, so I didn't just have to pretend to sing a long.

We also had a gift exchange.  I was given some chocolate.  I gave earrings to my friend.  We drew the names on Sunday for the gift giving.  It was a fun little activity.  Afterward, we had more karaoke.  Ulises particularly liked the karaoke.  I had no idea he enjoyed singing so much.  We were probably out late then we should have been, or rather I was probably out later than I should have been considering I have to work tomorrow.  But it was fun.  And since tomorrow was Friday, that means I don't have to worry about waking up early on Saturday.

Karaoke!

For dessert we had marshmallows dipped
in chocolate, tasty, but a little too rich
for my tastes.
