CHOCOLATE ATOLE - Champurrado
6 cups whole milk
1 cup masa harina--corn flour
2 cups water
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
3 oz. unsweetened chocolate, grated
1 cinnamon stick
Heat the mild and chocolate in a saucepan, stirring to dissolve the
chocolate. When chocolate is completely dissolved, remove from the heat
and set aside to keep warm. Mix the masa harina with the water in
another saucepan; place over low heat, add the cinnamon stick, and cook
until the mixture has thickened and the masa becomes translucent. Add
the chocolate milk and sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar and simmer for
a few minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and serve the champurrado hot

SANGRÍA

Sangría is a popular party drink that originated in Spain. It's fruity
and tastes somewhat like a delicious wine punch. However, beware that
the Mexican version has Controy and Brandy which give it an extra jolt.

This recipe makes a little over a gallon. Sangría may be served in
tall glasses filled with crushed ice. It may also be served chilled in
wine glasses without ice. Save the "drunk fruit" afterwards to use for
a quick second batch if you run out, which you may-because it's a real
winner!

1/2 gallon burgundy wine
1 medium Orange
4 cups Orange juice
2/3 cup Mexican Controy, Cointreau or Triple Sec
1/2 cup brandy
1 apple
2 limes
1 pear
2 bananas

Using a vegetable peeler, peel the skin from the Orange so that it's
very thin. Put the Orange peel in a small bowl. Using the back on a
spoon, bruise the peel to extract the oil from the Orange.

In a large punch bowl, combine wine, Orange juice, Controy and brandy.
Add Orange peel and sugar into wine mixture.

Separate Orange into sections and cut sections in half. Cut the apple
and pear into small pieces, leaving the skin on. Half the limes and cut
them into thin slices. Slice bananas. Add all fruits to wine mixture
and chill at least four hours.

Arroz Dulce (Rice Sweet)
¾ cup rice
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups milk
1 cup rich cream
¼ tsp. salt
Scald milk. Put the rice into a deep baking dish, cover with the hot
milk, and bake in a moderate oven for 3 hours, or until the rice is
soft. Stir occasionally during first hour to prevent sticking. If
necessary, add more hot milk. When almost done, add vanilla, sugar, and
cream, and finish baking.
