Frying empanadas, Easter Sunday
Seafood soup made from scratch, fish heads and all. So rich. Easter Saturday
Two old friends Both called Manuel Both missing half a finger Half of their right index finger Understandably they had their own special handshake, or fing….missing finger-shake
ELLEN THE TALL ONE 
These are great moments of memories. I want to enlarge and fram the black and white phot of the mama’s hands forming the empanadas.
You can imagine how fast and consistent she folded them
Do you know the story behind the missing fingers? Is that a photo of Salvador Allende in the background?
It’s Gabriel García Márquez; ironically he had died a few days earlier.
I can’t remember how they lost both of them now, but I’m going to write to Roberto, Manuel’s son, and ask him 😉
Fascinating! Let me know when you hear from them 🙂
