This is the time of year when our families and friends come to visit. An easy way to celebrate with them is by preparing a delicious punch. They’re ideal for any party because you can prepare large and tasty quantities in advance.
The start of the new year is a time of change for many of us. We even have a name for these momentous changes: New Year’s resolutions. And now more than ever, it’s almost impossible to make a list of resolutions without including something as vital and essential to us as food.
A party is not complete without a bowl of this spicy beef tripe and corn soup. Made with a base of dried red chili peppers in northern Mexico or in a clear broth known as menudo blanco in the states of Sonora and Sinaloa, this dish brings families together. This comfort delicacy is traditionally served in just about every Mexican celebration including weddings, quinceañera parties, baptisms and even New Year´s.
If you don´t see this dish on the reception menu, then you will find it as the main course at the tornaboda or post-reception get-together. A bowl of hot menudo sure satisfies and it is believed to be invigorating after an evening of celebration.
I don’t like to throw food away. I’ve seen how much is wasted, not only in restaurants but also in families’ homes after large dinners. Every time that happens I cannot help but to think about how many people would give anything for a little bit of that food.
This thick, creamy eggnog can also serve as dessert. For a slightly slimmer version, use nonfat or low-fat milk.
