Today’s Matteo’s Moments is a follow up to the Jan. 6th, Día de Los Reyes webisode in which Jenny, Andrea, Miguel, and Diego each found a baby Jesus (or a wise man) in their piece of the Rosca de Reyes. According to Mexican tradition and much to the delight of the rest of the office, those who find baby Jesus and the wise men must bring tamales for everyone on Feb. 2nd, Dia de la Candelaria.

In this episode of Matteo’s Moments, Matteo gives you an overview of the Dia de la Candelaria tradition, but you can find more about Dia de la Candelaria at this Mexican cooking and culture blog: The Other Side of the Tortilla.

Viva Mexico!!!! To celebrate Mexico’s Independence Day, Rebecca surprised the office with an array of delicious tamales, which we happily devoured. Included flavors were: rajas (green pepper), pollo (chicken in a spicy red sauce), and costilla (pork rib in spicy red sauce).

From everyone in the office, muchas gracias Rebecca!
