Winter Delights!

Venezuelan Christmas Bread
The bread that you see on the left is a traditional Venezuelan Christmas food called "pan de jamon" or "bread of ham." Gustavo's mother, Glenis, prepares this dish every year, and it is eaten at all times of the day. The bread includes raisins, olives, and prosciutto. It is delicioso!


Mussels in a Lemongrass-Ginger Tea Broth
When Jason and Katie were in Beantown visiting us, they cooked New England mussels for dinner. They prepared the mussels in a broth of lemongrass-ginger tea and served them with a baguette and a carrot, broccoli, fennel salad with a soy dressing. Super tasty!
