Well...Nanciancena (a.k.a. Nani) and I were talking and she has let me off the hook to make a Paraguayan dish for Christmas as she will make one. She was going to make pan dulce de Navidad but it would take too long to knead the dough so now she's going to 
make another sweet bread called budin. We'll see how this turns out!And this is a simple update as I found a website that describes Christmas in Paraguay - http://www.ompersonal.com.ar/omchristmas2/christmas.htm. I copied and pasted this segment on Paraguay in case you're interested: "Christmas in Paraguay is celebrated in a deeply religious way. The main focus of the season is the pesebre or nativity sce
ne which is found in both the home and in churches. December is the summer season in South America, and there is a profusion of flowers growing everywhere at this time of year. Churches and homes are decorated in bright colors to match the flowers. On Christmas Eve, church bells beckon the people to church at midnight for La Misa Del Gallo or the Mass of the Rooster. The Christmas feasting begins when family and f
riends return home from Mass. On January 6, the feast of the Epiphany, it is the Three Kings who bring gifts for the children of Paraguay. On the night before Epiphany, children set out their shoes with letters to the kings."In this entry are some pictures I stole from Nani's archive....enjoy!
