Following worship service today at First Baptist Church, Zapata, TX was the pot luck Christmas lunch.
There was a Mexican theme to the dishes. Words can't describe how delicious everything was: homemade tamales--10 dozen; homemade enchiladas, King Ranch chicken casserole, spaghetti with poblano pepper sauce; Spanish rice, salad, menudo soup (not my favorite; made with tripe), sweet potato casserole plus desserts.
Menudo soup is made with tripe. Do you know what tripe is? Are you ready--stomach lining. Sorry, this is the one Mexican dish I cannot eat. I actually tasted it--OK, I put it in my mouth. It didn't stay there long. Use your imagination--slimy and foul tasting. That is enough description!
I'm guessing there were about 70 in attendance; a very good crowd. There were only four winter Texans, the rest were home folks.
