Buddies and Banana Cakes

Hendrick displaying his poker face for a game of Go Fish.
Johnny is here for a visit. Hendrick always takes a minute to warm up to new gringos around as he is quite the jealous kid. He tells me that I don't need him as a friend because I have a new friend. But, when Hendrick does come around, he really comes around. He stayed with us for a few hours, playing cards into the night. 
Monday morning I baked some cakes with the committee. Here, Hendrick observes carefully in anticipation of a piece of warm banana cake. 

After demonstrating how to make the first cake the women worked together to make the second.
Team work: Doña Ana, Teresa, Katarina and Feliciana.
