I have a not-perfect yet wonderful family, and we have gatherings for many occasions and celebrations. Imagine having smaller versions of Thanksgiving dinners several times per year, being the most important Christmas and New Year. For reasons beyond my understanding, we always gather in the kitchen instead of the living room. It gets kinda crowded, but it is totally worth it.
It hurts a bit to write this because I have lived in Colombia for four years and haven’t had the opportunity to be in so many family reunions. I have to work extremely hard to be able to travel this year.
This is a quesillo. It’s my signature dessert.
On my next visit, I plan on doing Quesillos for them. The Quesillo is a dessert similar to a flan but has more caramel and a different texture (not as wiggly). I’m curious: do you have a family tradition that doesn’t revolve around food? I just noticed how food-centered our reunions tend to be!
