Service and Arancini

Today was our first day back from Merida!  We met the group and enjoyed service until about 12:30pm.  We did Census work in Ejido.  Found one good lead!  After we went to search out a cheap seafood place we heard about on the beach.  We found it! 25 peso for a hamburger or fishburger.  ($2 USD)  The beach view alone was worth the pesos.

Then we went to a couple's house that are from Sicily and we made ARANCINI!!! YUM!  This is what you do:

1- Cook rice with Zalfarana and let it cool
2-Cook your fillers .  (We used mushrooms and Ragu)
3- Grab from rice and spread on hand
4-Add the filler with some fresh mozzarella cheese
5-Add more rice and form into a ball
6- Use water to smooth over if needed
7- Make a paste of flour and water
8-Set out some breadcrumbs.
9- Dip ball into paste and then into breadcrumbs
10-Fry the balls

DONE!!!!

Those things were so yummy and the cheese was so gooey!  This couple actually supports themselves by selling these around Playa one day a week!  AWESOME!
