Cookie Feria, Deputy Chief of Mission in our Embassy in Madrid found these wonderful cookies in a shop across the Cathedral of Burgos. She gave me a box when I visited her a few weeks ago. I will be in Spain again this month and hope she can get me a box of the other type called "Pelotas del fraile."

I forgot to post this photo last Saturday. Jaime Cardinal Sin was one of the main players of EDSA 1986. As you can see he does not resemble the horrible statue infront of the Manila Hotel. Im glad that caricature has been taken down and replaced with something that captures the Cardinal's likeness.
