Wow, this is fascinating. I would listen to her because I was still learning Spanish as my second language. Then I had the privelege of reading the recipe book. Thank you for sharing this; it means a lot to me as I really wanted to perfect my Spanish, and I guess she served as a mentor to me

I like it ... Ugly English Braille. I believe they were trying to make it easier for Braille transcriptionists as I've heard some partially sighted folks say that the UEB looks like the print of whatever the new Braille is supposed to be. I can read it, but I sure can't write it. I'll be 58 in

I imagine that smelled awful. I did something dumb right after I got my air fryer. Being I am in my late 60’s now, I can’t even imagine I did this. I was here by myself in the house and decided to put some frozen fries in the air fryer, and then said oh well, I’ll have a frozen burger too.

I caught a paper towel on fire a couple months ago. Yes, really. I was draining bacon and I had the plate I was draining it on too close to the flame. The paper towel was hanging over the edge, more than I thought. I am too experienced to make such a mistake. It is the kind of dumb thing that

I did the same thing with a paper towel. As soon as I put the pan in the oven, the paper towel caught on fire. I had enough vision to see this little wall of flame in the bottom of my oven. At that time, there was a land line in my kitchen. I instinctively grabbed the phone. Within seconds, the

I used to have lots of trouble with pancakes. I either didn't cook them with enough oil so that they stuck to the pan and didn't turn correctly, or I tried to turn them too early and made an equally terrible mess of them. Now I wait until all the bubbles go away on top, and they are almost dry but

This has not come up as a problem here, but respect for everyone is so important. I'm a pretty experienced cook for example, but there are things I just don't do well. I don't even try to accurately measure small amounts of liquid, like vanilla, anymore. I just pour over my finger and hope it

Hi everyone, For those looking for Elena Emilia Zelayeta books(see below my name). Titles are listed on Amazon, but not sure of prices. She did a show, from what I found out, in San Francisco. She was born in 1898 in Mexico and died in 1974. If I remember right, a brief biography of her was
