Today I made tea from fresh bay leaves and surprisingly it was delicious! Throw a few branches full of fresh bay leaves straight off the mountain into a relatively large pot of water and bring to a boil. (I set it on top of my wood stove in the house). Let it simmer for a few minutes and sweeten to your liking!
Our fellow missionaries made the two hour trek to our house so the men could go cut wood out at Angel's place in La Loba. It froze here yesterday morning so it is cold enough to light the stove everyday therefore we are in dire need of more wood. The sad thing is the cold killed my precious white calla lily. We ladies just drank tea, took care of kiddos, and talked.
For lunch I made 8 layer bean dip from the ingredients that some kind visitors had left us. Did you know you can't buy good tortilla chips or green chilies in Mexico? I used to think that was Mexican food....
Also on my junk food menu today was the second pan of irresistible golden graham squares or better named S'mores. Also made from ingredients from the good old USA! Or like they say here "El otro lado" or The other side!
P.S. I failed to mention that I'm a foodie or is it foody? Anyhow I like food....
