Last night, we had a noche de hogar with Armando and Marcela. As part of that, they fed us picarones.

They are like unsweetened cake donuts that are fried. They are then served in a sauce made up of sugar, cinnamon sticks, orange peels and a couple of other things. It seems that, in Chile, you can't eat without a bebida - carbonated soft drink or juice.

You will notice the wood stove behind Armando. That is how most heat their homes and it results in some smoky air at night.
