This is the last week of classes for the 2008 academic year at the Baptist Seminary. Yesterday we had a special year-end celebration, a kind of Thanksgiving service and secret Santa all in one. We shared reasons for being thankful - good health was mine. Then we passed out gifts for the secret Santa exchange. The event was topped off with a delicious pot-luck "Thanksgiving" lunch. We ate several dishes from Nicaragua's atlantic coast: rondón, a soup of beef, yucca, platanos, and quiquisque (kind of like sweet potato) in a coconut milk broth, and patí, an indigenous empanada-type pastry filled with ground beef. We also at chicken, beans, tortillas, rice, bread, and chocolate chip cookies (baked by me). The cookies were a big hit - they were gone in about 5 minutes. Here are some photos from the event.
