Sunday 7th of September in Australia was Father's Day. Father's Day in Mexico was in June, so I have already celebrated it once this year. I spoke to my Dad on Skype in the afternoon and he had a good day.
Before I left to go on exchange, I wrote cards for all the celebrations during the year. So as someone in my family has a birthday or anniversary they have a special card to open from me. I cried while writing the cards, knowing that I wouldn't be able to be with them on the days of celebration but I am glad I did it.
Sunday morning I went with my family to the local markets. We ate fresh quesadillas for breakfast. Mine was filled with flor de calabaza (pumpkin flower), queso (cheese) and pierna (pork meat in a sauce that had a bit of chilli.) The tortias were made right in front out us and all of it was cooked on a BBQ.

In the afternoon for dinner we made and ate home made pizzas.
It's a tradition in my house in Australia that every Friday night we eat home made pizzas. My favourite combination is a mayonaise base with a bit of garlic, bacon, onion, cheese and Phillidelphia cheese cubes on the top. I came up with the pizza idea after going to Italy with my family a couple of years ago and trying a lot of different combinations of toppings.
I made my favourite combination and everyone picked different combinations of toppings to put on their pizzas.
