¡Hola hivers!💜

Espero que se encuentren bien y felices. Hace unos días nos reunimos en familia para hacer hallacas para nuestra cena familiar del 24. Estuvimos mi mamá, mi hermano, su novia y los papás de su novia. Todos reunidos para armar las hallacas.

Las hallacas son parte del plato tradicional navideño en Venezuela, se asemejan a un tamal según he leído. Existen muchas versiones de ella a lo largo de Venezuela, en este caso hicimos al estilo oriental. Antes he hecho al estilo caraqueño, pero esa es otra historia.

Hacer hallacas más allá de hacerlas y disfrutar de un rico plato, es un evento que reúne a muchísimas familias venezolanas, donde no solo las armas, sino que disfrutan y comparten como familia. Hay familias que tienen hasta posiciones sobre qué hace cada quien, que si uno limpia las hojas, otro amarra, otro mueve el guiso. En nuestro caso, todos hicimos un poco de todo ya que era la primera vez que hacíamos esto juntos y fueron pocas hallacas.

Espero repetir la experiencia en compañía de seres amados.

Gracias por leerme
Con cariño, G.

Hi hivers! 💜

I hope you are well and happy. A few days ago we got together as a family to make hallacas for our family dinner on the 24th. We were my mom, my brother, his girlfriend and his girlfriend's parents. We all got together to make the hallacas.

Hallacas are part of the traditional Christmas dish in Venezuela, they are similar to a tamale according to what I have read. There are many versions of it throughout Venezuela, in this case we made it oriental style. I've made them Caracas style before, but that's another story.

Making hallacas, beyond making them and enjoying a delicious dish, is an event that brings together many Venezuelan families, where they not only make them, but also enjoy and share them as a family. There are families that even have positions on what each one does, if one cleans the leaves, another one ties, another one moves the stew. In our case, we all did a little bit of everything since it was the first time we did this together and there were only a few hallacas.

I hope to repeat the experience in the company of loved ones.
Thank you for reading me
With love, G..
