Throughout my childhood my Abuelita Tonita would come from Guatemala and stay with us a while. She would come for 3-6 months at a time—however long her visa allowed, and help my mom and my tia in the raising of their kiddos. She would spend the WHOLE day in the kitchen. Cooking to overfeed us, making a mess so she could spend time cleaning it up. The only time I could ever get her to sit down was from 1-2, when we would watch Tom & Jerry together. She drew SO much joy from those silly cartoons, and I remember feeling less guilty from 1-2 PM when she would finally rest. We had DVR, but I kept the commercials in so she would sit for a little longer. • One of the last times she came was around my senior year of high school. My mom had made a point the night before to tell me I needed to ask my abuelita questions about her life, because one day I would want to know. So I sat on the counter the next day and asked her questions while she cooked. She told me she started working at the age of 3, when she washed dishes for the family her mother worked for. Imagine paying a toddler to wash dishes 5 days a week. She spoke in her sing-song voice, telling me hard things as if they weren’t hard. She spoke without bitterness, and with gratitude in a way I struggle to emulate. • I don’t think this chicken is what she was cooking that day, but I do remember watching her make it sometime; picked up through the osmosis of childhood, and accessed in my memory vault in a random moment at the grocery store. This is the way she would fry up her chicken to make it crispy. Creating the dredge sear makes sure you lock in all the moisture, and it makes for a really satisfying crunch. I think my abuelita was as big of a fan of crisp textures as I am 💛 • As I made this last night, I could almost imagine her in this pink apron of hers, singing a hymn in Spanish while she manned all 4 burners at once. Mil gracias would never be enough for the gift of growing up with her in my life. All these years later, memories of her still pop up and teach me again and again that I come from a powerful line of mujeres 💛{recipe in comments}
