Red, Green, or Christmas?

Dear Daughter,

Last evening we were playing UNO together again. Now, although you are not supposed to tell the other players which cards you have, what you did say was pretty funny. And, you wanted me to tell "everyone" who knows about New Mexico what you said.

At one point you said, "Papa, I have all greens and reds, just like Christmas Chiles!"

You laughed very hard at your observation, and I told you that I had had Christmas Chile too in New Mexico last week. When we go in a few weeks, you can order the Christmas sauce for me as well.

I Love You,

Papa

Indian Sopaipillas

Dear Daughter,

Tonight, Papa had Indian sopaipillas for dinner! Here, they are called pani, but they are just as delicious. We had a green chili and onion stew to put on top of them, which you then mix together and eat with your fingers like a taco. It was very good and reminded me of New Mexico and the sopaipillas that you and Papa ate there. But, here, they don't eat them for dessert with honey like we did in New Mexico, but we did have fresh pineapple for dessert. So, maybe I will teach them how to eat them with honey here and when you and Papa go back to New Mexico, we can try to eat them like they do in India!

I love you,

Papa
