Season of Lent

Well we have entered into the season of lent . . . we started with Ash Wednesday which represents a day of repentness and for the next forty days we're suppose to work at giving up sin. We do this through fasting on Fridays, praying and by remembering how Jesus walked through the dessert for forty days, to try to be more like him. One of the reasons I really enjoy the season is the tradition of the meals prepared during lent. Like fish frys, shrimp cocktails, caucti(nopalitos) with shrimp, cheese enchiladas, hush puppies and my favorite of all is mom starts making capirutada(bread pudding).

I'll start sharing all these recipes on Pickles and Polkadots!
