browning dry Farina in a
pan, then adding sliced
bacon, black olives,

candied fruits, is an
Italian bread that graces

German cakes, apple pie

on Christmas Eve and the
children open their gifts
then. While the children
are out of the room,
parents spread gifts
under the tree. Then with
a ringing of bells
signaling that Santa has
come and gone, the little
ones happily rush in to
open their gifts.
The ringing in of the
New Year is also special
with parties celebrating
the occasion. Parties are
large, often with as many
as 300 guests invited.
Suzie says costume
parties, which are a
popular New Year’s Eve
tradition, are loads of fun.
Suzie says that she
enjoys life in the United
States. The Wenk-Wolff’s
have .two sons Luis, 3%
and Patrick age 2. Both
boys speak Portuguese
and German while Luis
also speaks English. Both
Suzie and Kai are fluent in
languages. Suzie speaks
English, Portuguese,
and ; Spanish while Kai
speaks English, German,
Portuguese and French.
The: boys babysitter,
Luiza Leite, also resides
with the Wenk-Wolffs.

SWEET MILK
CARAMEL
1 can sweetened cndensed
milk
boiling water
Bring water to a boil on
the stove. Make sure that
the boiling water is
covering the can. Boil the
can for 11% hours without
opening it. Remove the
can from the boiling
water and let stand until
cool. This is very im-
portant since the can will
explode if opened when
warm. Best if boiled at
night, then opened the
next morning. This makes
the milk into a caramel.

delicious served with
white cheese.
