Recently, I became a mentor. I refer to my protegee', affectionately, as my Mini-Me.Thursday is our 'date night'. Tonight, we saw the Pixar movie "Up" in 3D. Along with the rest of the audience, we were, literally, LOL even before the movie started. "Partly Cloudy" is the cute and funny short that preceded the movie. I think Pixar has another hit.
When I picked up Mini-Me, her dad reminded me that I was to have chile rellenos for dinner at their house. (On a prior visit, I mentioned that I liked them). Of course, I protested, but he seemed to think (wrongly!) he owed me something for spending time with his daughter. Sometimes, you need to let people express gratitude -- whether you think it's warranted, or not.
Boy, am I glad this lady did not protest too much! The chile rellenos were hot, crispy, and gooey! The homemade salsa smelled wonderful and had a little heat -- just the way I like it. They were so good, I swear just eating them improved my Spanish!!For my contribution, Mimi-Me and I baked a cake -- really, she baked, I just supervised. She chose chocolate cake with white frosting. By the time I finished the huge plate they prepared for me -- I can't believe I'm about to write this -- I was too stuffed for dessert! But, they all had generous helpings and Mini-Me was happy with her creation.
We'll see what next Thursday brings. . .
