A fine trio we make. Maricela, Sandra, and I...hanging out Wednesday afternoon.
Maricela's husband is away all week working in another state. Sandra's is by herself
in the evenings. And I have Pepe away... in another country. So we got together.
After all who likes being alone?
First we ordered pizza. Not a piece was left. Lonely women eat a lot...hadn't you heard?
Then, after dinner the children played...
(But wait let me show you a better photo of the twins.)
Sandra studied...and Maricela and I prepared delicious tamales.
Ummm...Roasted Poblano peppers, Monterrey and Cheddar cheese.
After folding...they are ready to be steamed!
It was really nice while I had company. Then I drove Maricela home, Sandra
left a little later, and the house was too quite again. I went to my room got my
pillow, my blanket... and put a movie in the DVD player.
Before I drifted to sleep once more on my green sofa, I thought about Maricela with the
kids waiting for her husband to return home. I thought about Sandra waiting around my
house until Gabriel gets home, and I thought about me...waiting and waiting...
Yes...a fine trio we make.
P.S.
I will share the recipe for Lonely Hearts Club Tamales in Food Stories as soon as
my brain starts working correctly. And by the way there is a sauce my friend
Barbara, from Long Hollow, was waiting on that is real easy. Roast 6 green tomatillos,
then put in a blender with 4 fresh, seeded jalapenos and some salt. Can't get any
simpler than that...
