Viva La Mexico!

This afternoon we realized Emmaleigh hadn't done her "Field Study Day" project for school yet. So Dane had this plan to do this special effects thing with her but that got to be so stressful we decided to change up and do it on Mexico and just do a quick research project. Then we made "authentic" Mexican food. Okay, we made enchiladas. I think it is slightly authentic.  They were really good and I got the recipe from one of my favourite food bloggers Gina.  It was really fun to cook with her and learn a little bit about Mexico. There were many facts about Mexico that I was unaware of, such as, did you know that Mexico isn't Catholic? That they only incorporated Catholicism into their religions because of the Spaniards.  They actually practice ancient Nahua which is a compilation of different beliefs from different tribes. I found it very interesting.  The sad part of the night was when Emmaleigh realized we weren't making Fajitas but we were making Enchiladas. I have never seen her so upset. She was so bummed. We tried to pull her out of "the depths of despair" by offering to go get her a Jimboy's Quesadilla but there was no pleasing her. Then I remembered I had some Chevy's salsa from Costco. She was satisfied and the night was saved. Add that to a wii game we rented it ended in a super fun night for her!
