Here's the LO from Day 10
If I wait to show you the LO with pics
you wont see it till the end of the month... :)
So, last Saturday I was invited by my friend Krista
who was invited by her friend Mini
who has a yearly tradition of making "Pasteles" every year
Pasteles is like puerto rican version of tamales
it's made with bananas & plantains
I've never tasted pasteles before BUT I LOVE tamales
so when I agreed to come to "pasteles making day"
I had no idea what to expect.....
when we got to mini's house this is the 1st sight we see
YES, that is a bathtub FILLED with bananas & plantains
(it helps to peel them when they are kept in warm water)
We we're the reliever of the 1st group to peel the bananas
which is harder than you think when they aren't ripe :)
This is ALL the people that attended this Pasteles Holiday tradition
Mini's family & friends we're so FUN to be around
6 hours later.......
Over 500 pasteles we're split amongst everyone
and they are so DELICIOUS!!!!
I'm so glad I got to experience & know all the hard work
that goes in to making these delicious treats!
Do you guys have any specialty treats you make every holiday?
