Norma invited us to spend Mother's day with them out in the campo. She had invited her family from Norquinco. We made rainbow cupcakes, garlic bread,and a cheese and chive bread. We left home at 10:30 and got there are 11:30 or so.
We had alot of fun! Norma's family didn't come, so we were the only ones there. We came home at 5pm.
The table was so fun! They set the chivo in the middle on broken down cardboard boxes, set 2 dishes each of mashed potatoes, tomato cucumber salad, and regular salad. 2 forks went into the salads and one spoon in the mashed potatoes. Then you just pick up the utensil, eat and then put it back in and someone else grabs it and eats what they want!! Yummy food! And then bread is just set all around the chivo to pick up.
Norma and Luis brought us a ñandu egg!
I made rainbow cupcakes. Here is the cake batter and the muffin tins. I didn't have red only pink so that is what I used. Pink, yellow, blue, orange, green, purple. I have tried to make purple, mixing blue and red, before and got more gray than purple. This time I tried pink and blue and go the prettiest purple! I know what I am using from now on!
Mom's homemade air fresheners she took as a gift. they are all different flavors. Mom was going to let them choose one, but they liked them so much, mom just left them all.
Denis, Lucrecia's son. He is so sweet and has the chubbiest cheeks!
Asado
They asked us if we wanted to cut the goat or should Ramiro do it. We said ''Ramiro''
Luis says ''Hola!''
''Hi everyone out there!!''
They have goats, sheep, dogs, a horse and a calico cat that roams all over.
Ramiro cutting up the goat. Everyone wanted ribs.
Dig in!
Yummy! Goat ribs are the best!
Ramiro found a ñandu nest full of eggs. He picked up a dozen. Norma told us that several ñandus will share a nest and you can find up to 40 eggs in a nest. A single ñandu will lay around 15 eggs, about one every other day. The female lays them and the males look out for the eggs and the babies when they hatch. Lucrecia uses them to make Flan. She said if you make a hole in both ends of the egg, then blow through one, the white will come out and then you crack the shell and dump the yolk out in a different bowl. What a fun way to separate eggs!
Yellow, Blue and orange. Yummy!
Purple, Green and Red. When Ramiro took one, he saw the colors and asked if they were different flavors. Lucrecia said yes, grape, green apple and strawberry. He stared at her incredulously until we all burst out laughing. Then he realized she was teasing him.

All the Mothers. Norma, Lucrecia and Mom
5 Ñandu. They are kinda hard to see.
A Flamingo. Sorry, It is a big grainy. We were so far away that we had to zoom on the camera and then also on the computer.
