Yummy. Sopapillas are Mexican dessert/pudding. They are a puff ball of dough that is slightly hollow in the center. When you get it pipping hot, you poke a hole in it and fill it with honey. Then you eat it trying to catch all the honey that escapes and runs down your chin. Very nice after a hot spicy meal.
Sopapillas are a treat, something I don't eat very often, that I remember from my childhood when my Grandparents used to take us to eat at Old El Paso restaurants, or better yet, Felix's Mexican restaurant where they had these little flags you could run up a stand to let the server know you needed more of something. Sopapillas were so light and hot and sweet and messy - a moment in life to enjoy to the fullest without worrying about calories (what kid does that?!) or etiquette or the next day's responsibilities. Sometimes when I am in church and the worship is good and I feel God's presence I don't want to leave. I just want to stay there in that feeling of love and acceptance and safety and have it go on and on. Today was a day like that.
