Meal of the Week - 2nd Week of August

Last week, I got to try lots of different tapas from Panama during the Mentoring Training.

mini-cakes, Jany , and I

The food came from Momi, a bakery in Panama, and everything was mini - empanadas, dulce de leche cakes, guayabana cakes, ground chicken sandwiches (sounds gross, but it's really flavorful), meat balls, and donuts. 

My favorite had to be the ground-chicken sandwiches and the mini guayabana cakes!!

The week culminated in a delicious potluck with some folks from Global Brigades. A mentor and I brought left-overs from the training, but there was also bruschetta, chicharron (fried pig skin - no judgement, please), baked stuffed mushrooms, and spicy, pesto quesadillas.  Drinks included Panama national beers, mixed rum drinks, and more rum.  The quesadillas and the rum were definitely my favorite! =)
