the kitchen is the heart of Argentinean culture


Ok so I just couldn't go to sleep without blogging about this. So earlier in the day, Alicia told me that her kids and her father would be coming over for dinner. By about 10 o'clock PM I was thinking to myself, umm do I need to help her get some things started? Ok so here's the deal:

1. dinner here starts at 11 PM (omg thats just about my bedtime)
2. EVERYONE helps prepare dinner.
3. dinner tonight = grill session for kelsey (a name which everyone here has had SO much trouble pronouncing. I told them just to call me kels!)
4. You can learn a lot from older people (el abuelo) and they want to tell you
5. The dinner lasted 2 hours and I'm pretty sure one of the hours comprised of a spanish grammar session.
6. For dessert, we had an assortment of candies! (right up my alley)

This was definitely a dinner that I will never forget because I was with great people and having fun conversation. (which many times consisted of them laughing at my pronunciations!) I love my new family!
