DIA DE LOS MUERTOS
Is a holiday that is celebrated though
out the world by many different cultures. It is a time for families and friends
to gather and remember their lost loved ones.
How do we do it?
BIG, we begin by preparing food earning the morning of
November 2nd. The kitchen is suddenly full of foods being prepared
and dropped off. Posole, Menudo, Chili and Frila [Potatoes / Bacon Soup] fill
our list of comfort foods. All of the food is usually done by mid afternoon.
Then we all head out the cemetery to put out luminarios. We
do it old school with a paper bag filled with a bit of sand on the bottom, and
then we add a single white candle. We place about 100+ luminaries on grave sites
of loved ones and friends throughout the cemetery. Once the sun starts to set
we light the candles.
*notice the beer?
This time of year it’s finally starting to get a bit chilly.
We all head to the house that has the comfort food. Fill up on all of the soups
and treats and spend time with our loved ones.
It’s the first of the holiday gatherings for us. The big
ones sneak right up shortly after.
Until next year my friends, maybe I will actually show the food!
Yr Friend,
