Cochabamba, Bolivia (Robyn Goldberg, Monica Morgenstern, May 2010) Our heritage is very important. Many traditions are engulfed in our food and our many different varieties of breads, including flat breads, pita breads, risen and un-risen breads, and breads with spices like Jalapeno breads (Robyn Goldberg, Monica Morgenstern, May 2010) Our family is able to find many of the foods that we need in a traditional American supermarket. Sometimes, we travel to the Italian market in the city to find similar breads to be used as a substitute for the Latin breads that we use. At the Italian market we are able to find many flat breads and many breads with jalapeno spices (Robyn Goldberg, Monica Morgenstern, May 2010) A big holiday tradition in our family is on Thanksgiving ( because we are not American) we celebrate thanksgiving in our home with all Bolivian foods, including beef Jalapeno tortillas, chicken quesidillas, and we especially make deserts like tres leches cake, different types of flan with raspberry and blueberry dressing. We also like to incorporate our Bolivian heritage into American cakes such as using a regular vanilla cake and making a special sugary crust to outline the cake as if it were a giant pastry (Robyn Goldberg, Monica Morgenstern, May 2010) Podcast- 2010 media type="file" key="final.m4a"width="200" height="165"**
