February 2, 201610 yr I'm eating some "experimental" soup today. Yesterday I started cooking and when I was halfway I discovered that I was missing some ingredients. I threw some things in the cooking pot and the result was OK-ish. :) I didn't have any signs of food poisoning today so I guess it will be save to eat the rest of it.:D #notreallyakitchenprincess

February 2, 201610 yr Care to share what these experimental ingredients are, not-a-kitchen-Princess? hehe The things I could find in my fridge: carrots, broccoli, red paprika, mushrooms, a little bit of ginger and bacon. It looked awful but tasted pretty good. I just tried to see if it was still edible and it was even better than yesterday. :) But, be aware: try this at your own risk! :D

February 2, 201610 yr I've just eaten a couple of tamales. We're celebrating the Candelaria's Day, which is a religious tradition. This day we eat tamales, they're very delicious and are made of smashed corn.
February 2, 201610 yr Author I've just eaten a couple of tamales. We're celebrating the Candelaria's Day, which is a religious tradition. This day we eat tamales, they're very delicious and are made of smashed corn. This is celebrated in many places around the world, both as part of common religions (christianity) and other denominations (paganism). In the USA its celebrated as Groundhog Day, in Italy as Calendaria (similar to the one you mention here, from candles= light), in neo-paganism its Imbolc (midwinter =half way between the winter solstice and spring equinox). Religion has adopted it from ancient paganism, but I think its all very fitting as all of this is a celebration of the light (in paganism its the light of the Sun, in Christianity its Jesus as the light of the world, Groundhog day is about the advent of Spring). I do like it how traditions like this can be celebrated by different groups but under similar meanings :) I also like how you eat those tamales made of corn, corn being of golden colour...like the Sun/Light :) Apologise if this sounded geeky...I do have a passion for these things and I like to share /exchange :D

This day we eat tamales, they're very delicious and are made of smashed corn. 15 minutes ago I learned that it is national pancake day today. And the origin is also religious: Maria Lichtmis. Well, too late, I'm not hungry anymore.

What led me to read more about this tradition. In Mexico people take their baby Jesus figurine to church the same way Virgin Mary presented him. We eat tamales because they're related to pre-Hispanic celebrations when Mayans believed people were made of corn and they offered this kind of dishes to their gods. And I've just read China is celebrating the New Chinese Year which can be related with light I guess. 15 minutes ago I learned that it is national pancake day today. And the origin is also religious: Maria Lichtmis. Well, too late, I'm not hungry anymore. You can eat it the next day it doesn't matter if it isn't a special day. We also celebrate it here, but don`t eat anything special, just go to church and light the candles :) We eat something special because during the Epiphany Day or the Three Kings' Day we eat a rosca (a kind of cake/bread that has a donut form but bigger) and it contains a small baby Jesus figurine (el niño). If you get el niño you have to invite the tamales in the Candelaria celebration. I'm not sure about the origin I think it is related with the fact that we love parties and food!
