I worked in Detroit last week, coming back home on Friday night. Since I had to be back there for a Sunday shift, I took Gaby and the kids with me this time. It was very cool to have the whole family tag along and spend some time with me on the road. Juan even stayed with me while Gaby and the rest of the kids went shopping.
We went to our favourite burger place (Fuddruckers) on Saturday night. The burgers they make are so big that they will ask you how do you want them cooked (medium, medium well, well done...). We all ordered, though Flor opted for a child menu that had macaroni and cheese instead.
Amused, I asked Flor how did she want her noodles and then told the girl at the counter that she wanted her macaroni 'well done'. We both smiled, but Florencia didn’t catch the joke. We picked up our stuff and sat down to eat.
Food was great, as usual, but judging by Florencia's face, her Mac&Cheese were obviously out of this world. I asked Flor if she like her food and she said:
- These people are just amazing. I never told them whether I wanted my macaroni and cheese medium well or well done, but they still cooked them perfectly!
You should have seen her face as she was saying this. Pure pleasure. :-)
La semana pasada trabajé en Detroit, y volví a casa el viernes por la noche. Como tuve que volver para trabajar el domingo, me llevé a Gaby y los chicos conmigo. Fue muy bueno tener a la familia como compañía y viendo cómo es mi vida en la ruta. Juan hasta se quedó conmigo en el hospital mientras Gaby y el resto de la tribu se iban de compras.
Divertido, le pregunté a Flor cómo quería sus fideos, y luego le dije a la chica que nos atendía que los quería ‘bien cocidos’. Los dos reímos, pero Florencia no entendió la broma. Tomamos nuestras cosas y nos sentamos a comer.
La comida estaba deliciosa como siempre, pero a juzgar por la carita de Flor, los ‘mac & cheese’ eran un espectáculo. Le pregunté si le gustaba la comida y me contestó:
- Esta gente es increíble. Yo nunca les dije si quería mis fideos jugosos o bien cocidos, pero ellos de todos modos los cocinaron perfectamente!
Deberían haber visto su carita mientras me decía esto. Placer absoluto. :-)
The twins LOVE mac and cheese! They almost order it everytime we go to a family restaurant.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't take much to impress Flor, huh? :D
