Arepa Arepas!


What's the best part of having awesome Colombian roomies? Getting to meet all their Colombian friends, smelling fresh brewed Colombian coffee every morning, learning about Colombian life and culture before even getting there (including everything you wanted to know about Shakira!)...really, who can pick? Well, the best BEST part is clear--getting invited to come with to Colombian dinner parties! This weekend we made arepas caseras (that's home-made arepas) until our collective 17 bellies were filled with fried corn masa goodness. Think Salvadoran pupusas but without curtido or salsa and with the choice of frying, grilling or baking. Corn, water, salt, oil, and the optional dropped-into-the-middle egg (I had mine w/o of course). Mix, knead, pat, fry, eat, repeat. Que rico! More pics here.
