sitting in the kitchen
>> Wednesday, June 24, 2009
Three generations of women before mine walked in and out of the kitchen. Each time lifting the lid off a pot, stirring whatever happened to be inside,
and bringing in the delicious smells of my favorite foods. Homemade rice and beans, sopes, enchiladas, and flautas all topped off with my grandma’s special chile, so green and bold it’s enough to make even the most adventurous eaters nervous.
My grandma who told me to always make sure I'm satisfied with what I've accomplished at the end of the day. "Don't worry about the money, mi'ja. We need to look out for the people. I know you will."
Three generations of women passing down recipes and tastes that make me proud to call myself the fourth.

Oh gosh, flautas. Nomm...
I love hearing the way that all of you were in that room.
I learned how to cook from my mother and grandmother. The first thing I learned to cook was a scrambled egg.
I love how the house fills with odors from a meal. especially breakfast and bread smells ^. ^
