HOW IT ALL STARTED

Nonna was to go to Ecuador to celebrate her 70th Birthday. But since it got canceled I decided to do it for her in just 3 weeks. Because she is so loved by everybody, that when I would call for help, everybody cheerfully volunteered. First there was Carla, who accepted to lend her home for the party. Also to allow me to lie about her getting engaged and that she wanted Nonna and me to be part of her engagement party...this was to get Nonna to go to the party. Then there was Carlita, Kimberly & Fabian who helped me back up my lie. Then there where also the guests like Lalo, Cecilia & Roberto, Cecilia M., Dante & Luchita, Marina & Felix, Naomi & Robert, Dalila, Blanquita, Rafa, Pia & the Egas family that brought all the goodies that we ate. There was Roasted Pork, Chicken, Ribs, Roasted Meat, Potatoes Peruvian Style, Motte, Rice. Even Nonna cooked for her own party Green Spaghetti, there was a Colombian Wedding Cake. So our food was even international!
COMO TODO COMENZO
A Nonna le tocaba irse al Ecuador a celebrar su 70 cumpleanos. Pero como se le cancelo su viaje decidi hacerselo para ella pero solo faltando 3 semanas. Como ella es tan amada por todos que cuando comenze a llamar para ayuda, todos felizmente acceptaron voluntariar. Primero estuvo Carla que nos presto su casa para hacer la fiesta. Tambien me permitio mentir de que se iba a casar y que queria que Nona y yo estuvieramos presente en su fiesta de cambio de arros...Esto fue como hicimos a Nonna ir a la fiesta. Despues estuvo Carlita, Kimberly y Fabian quien me ayudaron con la mentira. Tambien estuvieron los invitados como Lalo, Cacilia & Roberto, Cecilia M., Dante & Luchita, Marina & Felix, Naomi & Robert, Dalila, Blanquita, Rafa, Pia y la familia Egas que trajeron todas las cosas delisiosas. Tuvimos Puerco hornado, Pollo, Costillas, Carne hornado, Papas Peruanas, Motte, Arroz. Hasta Nonna cocino sus famosos Tallarines Verdes, estuvo tambien una torta de boda Colombiana. Hasta nuestra comida era International!
