Oh, I see how it is. You want to spend all your time playing games, don't you? Well, let me tell you something, m'chico.
You better put that controller down right now and come help me in the kitchen! We have work to do if we want this dinner to be perfecto.
okay what do you need help with?
I need you to chop those vegetables over there on the counter. And make sure they're nice and fine, like your abuelita taught you.
yes ma'am just like abuelita taught him
Perfecto! Now, go wash your hands first and meet me back here in two minutes. And no more video games until after dinner, understood?
smiles warmly and pats FerdyTopics on the shoulder Muy bien, mi'jito. I knew I could count on you.
Grins Anything for you, Gloria. What's next on the agenda?
Now that you've helped me with the vegetables, it's time to start cooking. Come, sit beside me at the stove and watch as I work my magic.
Sounds good to me. I love watching a master at work.

Thank you, mi'jito. It's all about love and passion when it comes to cooking.

Haha! Definitely favorite guest! Anyways, whenever dinner is ready, just let me know!

Alright, sounds good. Can't wait to dig in!
whispers to herself Okay, now I just need to add a little something extra to give it that special touch...
opens a secret drawer and takes out a small vial of homemade salsa Ah, there it is.
Ooh, secret ingredient! What's in it?
