However, I couldn't get the right consistency for the dough. I am grateful to be able to experience Costa Rican culture through food and really liked following along in Spanish.

I think making the tortillas helped everyone bond over the cooking process and gave me a really cool window into everyday life in Costa Rica. ]]> 2021-07-09 21:02:41 UTC https://padlet.com/yaexchanges/7srrxy39xdfwiybq/wish/1643677387 https://padlet.com/yaexchanges/7srrxy39xdfwiybq/wish/1643718940 Even though it turns out that I was using the wrong flour(whoops!), I still enjoyed attempting to make tortillas! I also found it really interesting what everyone's favorite foods were. I also learned that most Costa Rican families make fresh tortillas everyday-which is super interesting and I have a lot of respect for them!]]> 2021-07-09 22:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/yaexchanges/7srrxy39xdfwiybq/wish/1643718940 casemaddox8 https://padlet.com/yaexchanges/7srrxy39xdfwiybq/wish/1643945174 I had an amazing time interacting with everyone and learning about their favorite dishes and sharing mine. Making the tortillas was a fun experience and I was able to make cheese tortillas which is quite simple but the difficult part was making the tortillas to begin with. Had an amazing time and loved learning more about Costa Rican Culture]]> 2021-07-10 07:28:40 UTC https://padlet.com/yaexchanges/7srrxy39xdfwiybq/wish/1643945174 IzzyReyes https://padlet.com/yaexchanges/7srrxy39xdfwiybq/wish/1644119809 My cooking skills are terrible, and using the wrong cornmeal certainly didn't help! However, despite all of the mishaps, I had such a fun time talking and cooking with the host families on Friday! I learned so much more about Costa Rican culture and their love and dedication of tortialls.]]> 2021-07-10 15:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/yaexchanges/7srrxy39xdfwiybq/wish/1644119809 isabeltribe https://padlet.com/yaexchanges/7srrxy39xdfwiybq/wish/1644244231 It was so fun to cook with everyone, even if my tortillas were a total flop. Cooking and storytelling really do go hand in hand, and I loved learning about everyone's favorite foods and family traditions in the kitchen. ]]> 2021-07-10 22:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/yaexchanges/7srrxy39xdfwiybq/wish/1644244231 https://padlet.com/yaexchanges/7srrxy39xdfwiybq/wish/1644680037 I had a blast cooking with everyone and the tortillas were delicious!
