I read a short story today by Maria Ruiz. Ted and Maria are friends of Fred and
Barb who have been living in Puerto Vallarta for the last several years, after
having traveled around the world for about ten years. They belong to a writers’ group there in PV and both have
had their work published. I bought
a book of short stories while I was at their house but haven’t really started
reading it yet. Maria emailed the
short story that had appeared in an online publication; I can’t remember the
name but it’s in my email for when I get back to the wi-fi zone to read emails
tomorrow morning.
I enjoyed the story, mainly because it sparked my brain to
consider writing about some of my interesting / funny experiences with food and
cooking. Her story was about one
of her aunts – who had a “secret recipe” for making light, fluffy, delicious
flour tortillas – and Maria spent decades, along with her aunt’s 8 sisters,
trying to figure out the ‘secret’ to the
fabulous tortillas.
Finally, after literally decades, one aunt visited the aforementioned
successful tortilla maker. She
sneaked out of the house in the morning and surreptitiously spied through the
kitchen window. The ‘secret’
ingredient: BISQUICK!!! I enjoyed the simplicity and humor in
the story and will start to collect some memories to share via vignettes…..

This actually occurred while I was in Vila Cornona - trying to get this blog organized after the fact can be confusing!
