letter11: NEWSLETTER!

    Greetings,Tim.I'm going to answer some question.😀😊
1. What is the “liturgical calendar” of the Catholic Church?

#The calendar filled with "saints days","feast days","holy days of obligation",and"liturgical seasons".

2.Where do the “natural” Christmas trees come from, and why will  they probably cost a little more this year?

#Most of the trees are actually grown in Washington and Oregon.It takes about 10 years to grow a Christmas tree to about six feet tall.Because there was a Great Recession 10 years ago,while a lot of people didn't buy a natural Christmas tree.As a result,the tree farmer didn't plant as many new trees that year,so now there's Christmas tree shortage.


1.In Mexico, what is a “Chili”?  What is “chili” in the United States? 
#Mexicans use the word "Chili" when speaking about any one of about 100 different type of peppers,which in the US is a dish.

2.What is masa?  What is the difference between masa and corn meal?
#Masa is a much finer grind ,like a regular flour.Corn meal is coarser,and may not be suitable for many recipes.

3. What is the ingredient that will determine is your salsa is “mild” or “hot”? 
#Add as many diced peppers as you dare to get the degree of "spicy" that you like.

  1. Dear Amy,
    Where are all of the personal stories and comments? As always, you did a good job on the study questions, but it's the personal stories and "gossip" about you and your classmates that I look forward to when reading your letters. You must have been too busy.
    I'm looking forward to the Christmas cards.

    Tim
