| Doņa Martha's 60th Birthday | ||
 |
Birthday time is carne asada time. On the left onions and potatoes wrapped in foil are laying in a bed of coals. On the right Gonzalo is preparing the hot grill by scrubbing it with an onion. |
 |
 |
Two kinds of meat for tonight's party -- Mexican sausages and thin sliced beef sold especially for carne asada. |
 |
 |
While
Gonzalo is preparing the grill and beginning the cooking, some of the
ladies and kids are making decorations for the Christmas tree that is
being set up tonight. |

Round one of the feasting. 25 family and friends will sit at this table before the evening is over. |
The Mormon missionaries came too. About half the family and I are Mormons. |
Following a round of hardy singing, Martha cut her cake. Double chocolate -- soooo good. |
