A New Year's tradition in our family. I didn't realize there were so many ways to make bunuelos until I read the wiki page. The ones we make are small like a tiny tortilla, lightly fried and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. It's somewhat of a staple for New Year's Day so we usually make them on New Year's Eve. This year chunky monkey was old enough to help make them (not just eat them all).
Here she is rolling out the little balls of dough she and my husband made earlier. Since I was mainly washing dishes as they were coming and taking pictures I didn't partake in the making of the bunuelos. It fell to my mother to supervise Carmen while my husband fried them up.
She just kept rolling and rolling the little dough balls till there were none left.
Her job was over before they were all cooked so she just sat back and enjoyed one till daddy was finished cooking them up.
And since I've already posted so many pictures of her. Here's one more.
The Lyra Hat from The Golden Compass (pattern found here)
Yarn: Bought on ebay forgot the name of the seller. Hand spun, 6 strands of yarn 1 mohair, 1 silk, 2 wool, 2 alpaca colors are gold, black, white, gray, purple, and tan.
size US 13 straights.
I knocked this thing out in 2 hours . The pattern is written for an adult size hat so I only cast on 30 stitches. I covers her ears and neck which I like. Also the attached I-cord was easier than I thought.
Well, I wish everyone a blessed New Year 2008.
