Michael, Effie and Kristen went to Coromandel themselves to recreate between Christmas and New Years, returning home on New Years Eve. I volunteered to get the traditional New Years cake started- yeast dough that needs several hours of rising, and needs to be ready for midnight. Effie found a recipe for Vasilopita in
English. The measurements were a bit confusing, but the Greeks say it passed the audition.

One thing I miss is Mexican food. I’ve made guacamole a couple of times, but it’s hard to find corn chips that aren’t chicken flavored. Michael stocks pickled jalapenos, but there isn’t anything like a corn tortilla. Nevertheless, having found white tortillas, I was determined to make enchiladas. While they were gone, I cooked up a batch of Kashmiri chili (closest I could find to NM red) and had to dilute one spoonful with 3 cans of tomatoes. Wow! Michael has two cups left to baste meat with. It was great.
