One of the Christmas Eve traditions here in Oaxaca is to eat buñuelos, a fried dough that is dipped in a sugary anise sauce. Because we believe in experiencing local traditions, especially if they involve sugary fried things, we bought one on the zocalo tonight. I would be postings photo so you could all live vicariously except:
1) While Kay takes her photos with an iDevice that makes it easy to post them, I use our real camera which makes things more complicated. And
2) We (by which I mostly mean I) ate the thing in roughly 17 seconds and didn't get a photo at all.
Another part of the tradition involves throwing the plate the buñuelo is served on to the ground to break it. Suffice it to say that this part is less interesting when you buy them from street vendors in styrofoam bowls.
Feliz Navidad!
