Los Miércoles

For the past 5 weeks, Wednesday nights have been an inspiring time of fellowship, learning, and discussion of not only music geek topics, but also life, faith, and the life and work of Jesus Christ. Throughout the weeks, each person has volunteered to give a presentation on a different composer or artist. So far we have learned about Ludwig van Beethoven, Emmanuel Pahud (flautist), Gustavo Dudamel (conductor), Nicolo Paganini, and Andre Segovio (guitarist)

Last night, a few of us gathered early to make some Peruvian desserts. A while ago I had tried a dessert that I liked and so I asked one of the girls if she knew how. She said she didn't but after finding what I

thought was the recipe on the web, we decided to make it. What I didn't realize is that what I had tried was similar to creme brulee which is called Leche Asada. What I actually made was bizcocho de crema de leche which was more like a heavy, rich, pound cake. When everyone found out what I had intended to make, they informed me of the name and we all had a good laugh especially at my disappointment.

I was secretly hoping that bizcocho would turn out to be some

fantastic dessert that I couldn't wait to make again......... :(

One thing that is hard to get used to is that generally speaking different people come every week which makes it hard to get to know people well. However, a few regulars have ended up staying late talking over doctrinal matters. Well, really American late which is between 10 and 12 PM. If it were Peruvian late, I would just about have to get dressed for work the next day.
