Merry Christmas, all!

Currently with fellow Venezuelan friends of many years, having done Christmas dinner late on the eve as is our custom. I expect we'll have a second Christmas dinner at lunch-time today....part of our traditional Xmas dinner includes Hallaca (pictured), ensalada de gallina (or, in modern times, veggie equivalent), pan de jamón, various kinds of sweets and cakes and, often, quite a bit of alcohol....

On Thursday I invited my friend Jennie over for dinner. Did my usual caraotas refritas (refried black beans) dinner -a take on a traditional Venezuelan dish. It involved, apart from the beans, rice, plantains both ripe and green in a few different ways, cassava and arepas. The whole thing took about three and a half hours to prepare.

I hope she liked it! The pictures have proved rather popular on Facebook. I don't invite friends over for dinner that frequently these days, maybe I should do this more often.
