Sadly, Randy and Tina Weaver and family our moving home to PA at the end of March. This past Wednesday evening the ORI gang was invited to Manolo and Vilma Bendfelt's house for a farewell party. Manolo is president of ORI Guatemala, and Vilma is the founder of the Fundaninos orphanage.
Manola prepared a special Guatemalan dish called paella. It consisted of many types of meat, mostly seafood, and rice, cooked in a seafood sauce. This is the platter of raw meat waiting to be cooked. On the far left side is squid.
The party was held on the Bendfelt's recently completed deck. It is huge and very nice. Unfortunately, it happened to be chilly and windy Wednesday evening. They unrolled plastic canvas and lit a fire in the fireplace.
Manolo cooked the paella on his gas wok.
The finished dish. The seafood lovers in our family (Charlie and Ben) thought it was great. The rest of us weren't quite as excited. Emily and Maria refused to even try it.
Gathered around the tables with a music video playing in the background. We ate much later than we are accustomed to, 8:30, so it ended up being a late evening for us.
