Pupusas and coleslaw...flan a la leche was dessert!
The local Episcopal Church is a beehive of activity and I
like to check in there every once in a while. This morning, Father Ted taught
the first of a two part class on walking a Labyrinth. Interesting that both labyrinths
and prayer beads have been religious tools of all the major faith from all over
the world.
Father Steve and Father Palma before Encore.
Last Friday the church sponsored an Encore luncheon. Once a
month you can eat for donation of $5, the cost of the ingredients for various
meals. When Father Steve went to Turkey, he cooked foods from that country.
During Lent they served fish in wildly unusual dishes. Friday it was pupusas
from El Salvador cooked by Father Palma’s wife and mother.
Each Encore lunch has a brief program and Friday it was
music by Father Palma’s Spanish band. Each lunch ends by 1:00 so people can get
back to their jobs or daily lives. The lunches are a nice break with
interesting foods and some kind of information or entertainment.
The music Friday was so energizing that Father Palma's mother and a lady named Deloris got up and danced a storm!

Oh my GOODNESS, Bookie. I LOVE pupusas. Did you try them?
When we lived in El Salvador, I LOVED eating them. There, they made them with "chufles" (sp?). It was a kind of flower! Yes, and they tasted delicious.
Oh, I do hope you tried them! Susan
Oh golly, you lived in El Salvador! You must write about it on the blog. Yes, I tried these and loved them. I think there was zucchini in the them but ground rather fine. I loved the texture...and we used salsa on them if we wanted. So good! They are food that came down from the Mayans they said.
Yum.
Love it that your minister spoke about labyrinths. They are fascinating. We have a labyrinth at a local park that I've walked; it's a very spiritual experience. Wish more churches would build them on their grounds.
