![]() a Celeste, the dog 72 bittersweet bonbon, and a Creme Caramel truffle made with. I’ll be rifling through the stack of her recipes that I copied during my last visit to Mexico City to decide what to take on next in the Tortilla Test Kitchen.Īs always, thank you for letting me share my cuentos and recetas, and I look forward to sharing many more birthdays ahead with you. This birthday collection includes three 64 dark chocolate Happy. Tonight, we’re toasting with vino tinto and remembering her. I also have an affinity for El Globo’s sweet and sticky signature pan dulce, one kind of which I’ll be trying to recreate soon, too. I can’t promise you I’ll try making hígado, but I’ve got a mean albondigas recipe I’ll be sharing before the end of the year. As my cuñada told me today, “we always knew going to abuelita’s house meant we were going to have good food.” I hope that someday my own nietos will say the same about me.Īmong some of abuelita’s favorite foods, according to my cuñada: pan dulce from El Globo with café con leche, hígado (liver), albondigas (meatballs in a red sauce made with tomatoes and chiles, served over rice and beans) and sopa de fideo. I can’t even cut celery in my kitchen without José reminding me that his abue used to make a sopa de apio. I plan to start tinkering in the kitchen to recreate her recipe sometime this fall, so wish me luck! ![]() To this day, he’s never had a bite of anyone else’s arroz con leche that’s come close to his abuelita’s. One of José’s favorite recipes that his abuela used to make for him while he was growing up was arroz con leche. It will undoubtedly someday become one of our family heirlooms that will be passed on for generations. ![]() Wish you all the best Wishing you a birthday that’s just as wonderful as you are May God grant you love and happiness forever Happy birthday You are the girl to whom my heart belongs. It’s nice to have something handmade with such love and painstaking care to decorate my home with and to show our future children. Happy birthday dear May the light of the candles enlighten your life for the rest of the days. The truth is, though she’s no longer with us, the memory of her is ever-present.Īs a wedding gift, José’s great aunt, Tía Chata, made us an exact replica of a carpeta (a kind of table adornment, sometimes small enough for a serving tray and sometimes large enough to be a tablecloth) that belonged to abuelita Elda. It is thanks to many family members on my suegra‘s side who have told me stories and shared snippets of abuelita Elda’s recipes with me that I’ve come to feel like I know a little piece of her, and it’s also how I ended up starting this blog to document my journey as I explore my own Mexican kitchen. Sad because it also marks the fourth anniversary of the day that José’s abuelita Elda passed away. Happy because it marks the first birthday of The Other Side of The Tortilla. Tonight when the clock strikes at 12:00MN, i’ll be toasting to an amazing 33years and embarking on the new chapter and adventures of my life.Today is both a happy day and a sad day. Realizing my past years, I want to spend quality time with those who mean to me, enjoy precious moments, create life-long memories and have fun adventures. But as what the famous quote says “Age doesn’t matter and age is just a number” for as long as you continue believing yourself. I almost feel like it’s only now i’m leaving my 20’s. I’m excited for this new chapter in my life, but i would be lying if i didn’t acknowledge my sadness. There is still so much I have to do, so much I want to accomplish! To become a better person. Tinna’s besties we held hand throughout this rollercoaster of life journeyįor me, my birthday is a time when i remind myself about how much i have to be grateful for. No matter what, I know all of you will always be there to guide me all throughout my journey. I just want to thank You God for the priceless gift of life that you have given me, for the 32years of awesome memories, for the wonderful people you have put in my life for 33 years now and for my Family, that i am truly blessed that i have you in my life. But I am pretty sure the rolling stone has always have the right timing-you don’t always get what you want, but you will always get what you need. ![]() Life doesn’t always work out the way we hope and dream. That life comes with pain and sadness and we can’t control it. As I celebrated another milestone, I faced one of the hardest lessons in life. Tomorrow, on my 33th birthday, i wanted to write myself a letter a letter full of truth and hope. self, what i want you to remember most today is that you were loved and you were loved so very well. Some moments were up and some moments were down but majority of it were bursting with love and joy. This is a birthday gift for my friend Melodyy-Snake (on Deviantart) Her OC is Bittersweet (white), and mine is Luna. ![]()
