La Bodega Latina

Just as Congress Street bends towards MMC, you'll find the La Bodega Latina, a local market that has streams of clientele going through the doors most days. Me? I just love that green against that, oh so blue, winter sky. Made a couple of loaves of homemade bread this past weekend to go with the great pea soup E- made from the remnants of our Christmas ham. Love pea soup! And every time I see or smell bread being made, I think of Mom's wonderful bread, rolls and fried dough that she prepared with the beans in the kitchen on Coyle on Saturday afternoons.

  4. Hi all. I talked to Birdman this morning and he said he had a pretty good night after a rather rough day yesterday. Slow but sure.

  6. I love homemade bread and baked beans and that lime color too. There's no place like home...may your thoughts of home comfort you while you recover.
