There is nothing better than the family gathered to celebrate the traditions of our country

As my friends are, in this area of ​​the world we are enjoying a long weekend, yesterday was the day that my country declared itself free. Argentines love our country, and we love celebrating our traditions.

This type of event is used to accompany with typical meals, and they vary according to the taste of each family, or why they are traditionally used to eating these days. We do not adjust to a special dish, we decide at the time according to the state of the day.

As a tradition we have a variety of dishes that adjusts to any situation, we never bet on a single dish, in that respect we are cautious. I have an anecdote that I can tell you about, something that always happens to my neighbor, every time he plans to eat barbecue it rains, or when he cooks locro it is hot. To avoid this situation we define what to eat on the same day.

We love the "rice" with "chicken", we like that it has all kinds of ingredients, the "rice" has to be the "double", the higher the quality the better, the "saffron ¨ It cannot be missed, this brings a beautiful yellow color to our dishes, the “chauchas” have to be abundant, the prey of “chickens” in quantity. This is how we like to cook and eat this dish.

If the day is ready, the dish will undoubtedly be an exquisite barbecue, we love to cook because it is quite a ceremony, from the way of lighting the charcoal, the way of seasoning, the way of cooking, and the time that the meat will be exposed to the grill on the fire.

We are used to kneading gnocchi to celebrate such a special day, those who buy are not allowed at our table. Our gnocchi can have endless flavor, the dough can be ¨papas¨, ¨cassaba¨, ¨batata¨, ¨zapallo¨, or ¨remolacha¨, this is accompanied with an exquisite beef or chicken stew.

Homemade bread is never lacking, this is the basis of our meals, homemade cookies are our specialty, sometimes it could be a combination of flours, these are very delicious and go with any meals, temperature and oven time is the key to our breads

The prostre has a special space in our kitchen, my wife loves to prepare sweet delicacies, a dessert that is very delicious is the ¨paste¨ ¨frola¨ she is passionate about spending time in the preparation, and prepares three different types, ¨batata¨, ¨membrillo¨, and ¨sulce de leche¨.

Argentines love our traditions, especially culinary, it is always a good time to be with the family in the kitchen. Thus we spend the holidays in my country, eating delicious meals while enjoying the company of the family.
