In this case, buñuelos con miel and ponche de frutas. I enjoyed the slide show as well as the "the hell with it!" post.

I thought hell was suppose to be a huge fire pit. I bet the devil is laughing his a$$ off while shaking his horny head saying "dumb humans". I think we should drown him instead. I think I will start the "The drowning of the Devil" tradition on 12/9. I can’t help to wonder why would we want to burn the devil?!? I thought hell was suppose to be a huge fire pit.

Every once in a while you got me searching DICTIONARY.COM for long words I never heard of before. This time you got me searching for "comeuppance". First thing that I think of is…..esa palabrota se la invento el señor Rudy. But as always, you're legit. Anyway, I remember this tradition as a kid...it was so much fun. It was the un-official start of the Christmas / Holiday bonanza. A la gran puchis Rudy. Every once in a while you got me searching DICTIONARY.COM for long words I never heard of before.

It probably wasn't such a great idea now that I look back on it. I really enjoyed the slides/pictures, brought back some excellent memories!

How to take the photos "correctly" so that the time lapse movie does not have flickering artifacts and the speed is correcrt... that's where I need to experiment. :-) @Norman, how to make the time lapse from the images is not a problem for me.

I guess that having a community burning is better than having each household make their individual bonfires. I wonder if British people have found a way of reducing the environmental impact of Guy Fawkes day (another kind of devil).
