Tamales, Carousels, and Canisters

Alexander looking thrilled while he waits for dinner to start. We made homemade tamales with picadillo filing, chili verde rice, and pumpkin crema. Yum.

Our continuing Days of the Dead celebrations (a week or so delayed). We went to a multicultural fair at Crossroads. It was fun checking out the booths, sales, and great food. Alex had Mexican (enchiladas) food and Anni had Italian (pizza). I had Indian food (chickpea curry) and Lisa had Mediterranean. Anni especially liked riding on the mini carousel.

We've been searching for a set of large glass canisters to hold all our frequent baking supplies. Since we buy our flour in bulk, we needed larger than normal canisters. I've been on the prowl for a few weeks without success, but today we finally found them! Now the flour, wholewheat, and oatbran flour are within easy reach for baking! Yahoo!
