Recently the ladies at our church formed a group called the "Diaconas" for the purpose of doing fundraisers and using the money for people in the church who need it. I'm the treasurer of the group. I hardly know how to cook Honduran dishes, so it's one way I can be a part of the group.
Yesterday and today we were hard at work making mondongo, tripe (cow stomach) soup. It sounds disgusting, but really is quite tasty. There are over fifty ingredients and we made 100 plates, so it was no small task. More than ten women helped with the project, chopping all kinds of vegetables and cooking the meat and soup over the fire.
This is one of two gigantic pots that we used for the mondongo.
The project was definitely a success in many ways. We made lots of money for our fund and the group is really pulling together to organize things for the church. It's exciting to be a part of the growing vibrancy of La Mora Iglesia Cristiana Reformada!
This pot contains 50 servings of mondongo. The main ingredients are vegetables of every kind, bits of tripe, macaroni, little balls of corn flour and spices, Maggi cubes, tomato paste, salt and sugar.

Mmmmm... sounds good, Katie, except for the "tripe"! I grew up on a dairy farm even! I've had "ox tail", tongue, liver, heart, and necks of things... but stomach!!? :) How do you even LIFT those pots! Wow!
