“A COMBINADO, PLEASE”
Grammar Point: Prepositions of Time
There is a woman who sells puddings on a street corner in Otuzco. She gets there at 5:00 in the afternoon and stays until 8:00 at night, both on weekdays and weekends. Sometimes─especially when it is cold, I buy a hot combinado. Combinado is─basically─rice pudding and purple corn pudding served together in the same tupperware. This dessert tastes delicious. Rice pudding is sweeter. Purple corn pudding is a little bit tart. They are a good mix! Combinado even looks good because you can appreciate the sharp contrast between the white and the purple. And since the woman puts powdered cinnamon on every serving of hot combinado, even passersby can feel the smell of the cinnamon! It’s not an ordinary corner for such a tasty dessert.
