life... Maitelates!After my Pedro was born the 24th of December in 2007 (I know... Christmas baby....), my life went crazy. No schedule, no time to work, no time for anything... I was a mother, period. Wrong!!! After realizing all that mothers are able and capable of doing ... I convinced myself that 'one more thing' wouldn't hurt much. That's how I started to stir and turn
milk & sugar into Dulce de Leche in between nursing, diapers, and giggling... and that's how my Pedro came to watch and listen to all my stories about my grandmother's house, the creamery near her house, and the big wooden spoon in that smelly sugary milk. As a good partner, he has been supporting me since the very beginning, and has been the most important piece of this crazy idea of bringing a little of my cultural background to Ann Arbor, in the shape of the sweetest and most traditional treat from Chile and many other South American countries: the Alfajor.My Pedro arrived in December ... my Maitelates was born in April and they both are starting to grow..... little by little.... and I am really proud... and happy...... everything has been worth it!
Thanks to all that have made this possible. Thank you Pedro, thank you Gringo and many thanks to all of you that have supported me in one way or another....
actually thanks for having read this far!Until next time!!!
the mother..
