* salado
* dulce
* líquido
* hojaldrado
* duro

We talked about the characteristics of Mexican food (which they had researched for homework). Introduced concept of aguas frescas, drinks typically made in Mexico featuring fresh fruits and vegetables, sometimes (often) sweetened with honey or sugar. Students were split into new groups and had a recipe and ingredients to make a different type of agua fresca. Students cleaned up and tasted their drinks.
Tarea: invent recipe for a salsa. Students chose what type of salsa they are going to make. One group chose tomato, another pineapple, mango, and peach. Using their key ingredient, students need to write out a list of ingredients for their recipe and the steps to make it. We are going to be making salsas next week.
