a lovely table

my cousin sent this photo from mexico of my aunt Rufinas "ofrenda" and it is beautiful. she is a fantastic cook and makes a killer mole de cacaguate (peanut mole). i love the wholesomeness of these dishes. the casuelas (terra cotta pots) look amazing. this table is very personal to me. it is for those i love.
