Al terminar me puse a buscar una receta de arroz con dulce parecida a la que preparaba mi abuela y encontre este articulo. Queria prepararlo en Noche Vieja como hacia mi abuela para recordarla y celebrar que estara toda la familia junta incluyendo la que vive en. EEUU. Lei tu comentario y me recordo mucho a mi abuela lo unico q aunque ella regalaba los pasteles hubo un tiempo en que los vendia e incluso eran los pasteles que servian en la cafeteria de Woolworths. Al final dije wow se llama igual a la mia abuela Ana! Que casualidad hasta q vi tu nombre y me percate de que eres la primera. Yayin todavia se recuerda de la receta y de como prepararlos deberiamos planificar para llevarla a casa un dia. Te quiero hermana!

Both my grandmothers were gone from us before I could know them. Both of my little son’s grandmothers live far, far away. I am a working mom & don’t have much time to make foods from my own traditions, and making foods from my husband’s mexican traditions isn’t easy since I’m just learning. Reading your loving, moving tribute to your Abuela has renewed my gratitude for my sisters-in-law.

I feel you grabbed the essence of why we hold on so tightly to certain traditions and the deeper meaning they have for each one of us.
thanks for sharing.

For me, the grandmother in the house is my Suegra. She makes me a little crazy, (slight understatement there), but I really hope our boys have memories half as nice as yours of her some day, and I know that having her here has helped their Spanish and connection with their roots.

I am sure that your grandmother would be so proud that you are passing on her traditions to your children. That is such a wonderful way to honor her memory.

My Abuela was the pillar of our family and the best cook ever! Her pasteles where famous, she refused to sell them and just gave them out to family, friends, friends of friends. Una docena, 2 docenas… De masa, yuca o arroz. I would help her but sadly never learned how to make them, I can’t wrap a pastel to save my life!
Her memory would forever live with me, especially now with our new baby daughter who’s named after her. My beloved Abuela Ana
