Every January 10th, tripe was eaten / Cada diez de enero se comía mondongo

Every January 10th we ate tripe at my house

Every time my mother had a birthday she would prepare a big pot of tripe for her guests, those she invited and the rice cookers (anyone who shows up at parties or events without being previously invited).

Everyone would eat that succulent dish with pleasure; for that reason, January 10th was synonymous with beef belly and delicious broth with proteins loaded with a high content of B vitamins, such as B12, B6, niacin and riboflavin, iron and most importantly, lots of love.

From a very young age my mother understood that it was better for the soul to give than to receive, that the mind and heart were filled with joy when seeing people happy. Rather than waiting for gifts she would prefer to give and what better occasion to give than the celebration of her birthday.

It was common to hear positive comments on the eve of the date, many family members, close friends and neighbors knew that on January 10th the tripe was safe.

Before her birthday, my mother would buy all the ingredients and begin the preparations. Cleaning the belly was for her the most important procedure and at the same time arduous and exhausting; she assumed the cleaning almost as a sacred ritual. She spent hours on this occupation because she said that a poorly washed belly was harmful to health. She could not allow her food to cause indigestion; for that reason she minimized the risk by increasing hygiene and cleanliness. Lemon, salt, vinegar, abundant cold and hot water were what she used most.

The tradition was maintained for a long time, until the weakness caused by the disease, and her advanced age, prevented her from continuing it.

One day the time came that no one expected; she could not give her favorite dish on her birthday. My sister, on one occasion, followed her culinary example but little by little the tradition in my family was disappearing

Today my generous old lady would have turned 88 years old; If health and life had allowed her to be here, we would surely eat tripe with as much joy and pleasure as we did several times.

Happy Birthday, Mom, and thank you for everything you gave us. I ask God that wherever you are, his divine light and perpetual love will accompany you. Amen 🙏


Cada diez de enero se comía mondongo en mi casa

Cada vez que mi mamá cumplía años preparaba una gran olla de mondongo para sus comensales, los invitados por ella y los arroceros (toda persona que se presenta en fiestas, o eventos sin ser previamente invitado).

Todos comían con gusto aquel suculento plato; por esa razón, el diez de enero era sinónimo de panza de res y delicioso caldo con proteínas cargadas con alto contenido en vitaminas del grupo B, como la B12, B6, niacina y riboflavina, hierro y lo más importante, mucho amor.

Mi mamá desde muy niña comprendió que era mejor para el alma dar que recibir, que la mente y el corazón se llenaban de alegría al ver a la gente feliz. Más que esperar regalos ella preferiría regalar y qué mejor ocasión para dar que la celebración de su cumpleaños.

Era común escuchar comentarios positivos en la víspera de la fecha, muchos familiares, amigos cercanos y vecinos sabían que el diez de enero el mondongo estaba seguro.

Antes de la fecha de su cumpleaños mi mamá compraba todos los ingredientes y comenzaba los preparativos. El limpiar la panza era para ella el procedimiento más importantes y a la vez arduo y agotador, asumía la limpieza casi como un ritual sagrado. Pasaba horas en esa ocupación porque decía que una panza mal lavada era nociva para la salud. Ella no podía permitir que su comida causara indigestión; por esa razón minimizaba el riesgo aumentando la higiene y la limpieza. Limón, sal, vinagre, abundante agua fría y caliente era lo que más utilizaba.

La tradición se mantuvo por mucho tiempo, hasta que la debilidad causada por la enfermedad, y su avanzada edad, impidieron continuarla.

Un día llegó la hora que nadie esperaba, no pudo obsequiar su plato favorito en su cumpleaños. Mi hermana, en alguna ocasión, siguió su ejemplo culinario pero poco a poco la tradición en mi familia fue desapareciendo

Hoy mi viejita generosa estuviera cumpliendo 88 años; si la salud y la vida le hubieran permitido estar, de seguro comeríamos mondongo con tanta alegría y gusto como varias veces lo hicimos.

Feliz Cumpleaños mamá y gracias por todo lo que nos diste. Pido a Dios que en el lugar donde estés, su luz divina y amor perpetuo te acompañen. Amén 🙏
