Fascinating interview! Part of me wants to read Reconciliación but then again I don't want to contribute more to JC1's finances 😉 Very glad to have Preston's take through Faber's excellent questions.

Well that was an experience. Tomi behaved like a champ, & he doesn't have mites in his ears... just a whole bunch of wax. Menos mal. Our neighbor was like: sure, take him to the vet. 100% trust.

Never been a fan & less now. Isn't it time we moved on from celebrity chefs as a rule?

Kale harvested, so on to making a giant batch of caldo verde. Such a lovely vegetable. Rafa came in to say: a soup where you know the ppl responsible for every ingredient... except the potatoes. So crazy #pueblolife
