Friday July 25th, 2008; Querida Enemiga. Crabby is as crabby does (2nd part is up)

Hi everybody, I apologize for the idiotic title but nothing else comes to mind. And now without any further delay ¡a lo que te truje Chencha!

We start with a little rehash from thursday (I took the liberty of copying the end of Judyb’s recap). Lorena sits down, looks up and realizes that the fellow she bumped into is....yikes...actually the professor himself. And hot, hot, hot! Things are looking up, ladies.And he's also "hot "as in mad, annoyed, and cranky. He docks Lorena's friend two points for being late, and gives a tough little talk about how he's not here to teach them to be cooks; he's here to teach them to be exceptional chefs. And some of you aren't up to the task, he adds, looking meaningfully at little Lorena.
…and onto today’s show

The hot teacher starts talking about his passion: Mexican Cuisine. One of the students asks him if he thinks that Mexican cuisine should be considered “high” cuisine. The teacher explains how in order to be considered high cuisine the recipes should have a techniques that justify them? And the Mexican cuisine has those procedures, because it’s created out of the richest ingredients and the most complex culture and tradition. Another student asks what is most important tradition or creativity. The teacher answer that it’s best to really get to know the tradition and then apply creativity. He tells them that that’s exactly the purpose of his class.

Vasco is trying to talk to Diana, but she tells him that she is very busy, right on clue the phone rings and she answers.

Back in the classroom, one of the students is finishing telling the class about his favorite recipe. The teacher asks if there is somebody else that might want to share a recipe with the class, he asks Lorena. She gives the recipe for a salsa called “Salsa macha” he asks some pointed questions to find out how well she knows the recipe. She fails to give an important step in the preparation of the salsa and he makes fun of her. Everybody laughs and he takes 2 points from her for trying to talk about something that she doesn’t know.

(I found this recipe for salsa macha in the internet. It looks pretty much like the one Lorena was describing. Is somebody makes it let me know the taste and if it is hard to make) http://www.panix.com/~clay/cookbook/bin/show_recipe.cgi?salsa+recipe488

Diana is still on the phone and Vasco is still trying to talk to her. She tells him that she doesn’t want to talk to him because she is confused. He leaves.

Back in the classroom, the teacher is giving them their homework. They need to bring an essay about the influence of the Yucatanian cuisine on the modern Mexican cuisine. He reminds them that it needs to be an original work or else. As they are leaving the class a student comments that the teacher is very strict and he always finds out if somebody cheated by copying the work. Lorena tells her friends that he is right and that they won’t learn anything if they copy the work. Her friends can’t believe she is defending him when he was so mean to her.

At the house of dastardly deeds, Barbara is picking up some things for Jaime. Hortencia asks her when Jaime is coming back. Barbara tells her that he is depressed and maybe Hortencia should hire an assistant for him. Hortensia tells her that she won’t do that because he is going to get used to go away and she wants him to take care of the business himself. Barbara insists, but Hortencia tells her in no uncertain terms that she is the one in charge and she decides how to manage her own company.

Super Alonslow has finished his rounds and is leaving to see Lorena. He tells Valeria to please let “his boss” Bruno, know that he is leaving early.

Back at the school of strong, hot and delicious…recipes Lorena and friend are picking up books to work. Lorena promises that she’ll do everything in her power to be good at classes for the sake of her scholarship.

Toribio is talking to Paula. He tells her to stop being gloomy. He needs her help to organize a party. Paula wants to know what the motive is for the party. Toribio tells her about Alonslow and Lorena’s engagement. Lorena tells him that she is worried for her brother, because she doesn’t want him to suffer like she suffered. Toribio tells her to “no echarle la sal” (jinx) the relationship. She decides that she needs to distract herself. He asks Toribio to please take care of Betina. He agrees to do it.

Back at the school, Aloslow surprises Lorena. She is very happy to see him. He tells her that he came to pick her up. Aparently Aloslow didn’t park his car properly and was blocking the teacher’s car. Ernesto (the crabby teacher) is not happy about it especially when he realizes that Alonslow came to pick up Lorena. He scolds her and Lorena tries to apologize. He leaves in a huff. Alonslow tries to cheer Lorena up, asking her when would be a good time for their engagement party. Lorena reminds him that she doesn’t have a family and there is no need for an engagement party. He apologizes and tells her that he didn’t mean to make her sad.

Zulema is writing her recipes down. Julian walks in and asks her what she is doing. She tells him that she didn’t have anybody to leave her cooking secrets to, (since Diana doesn’t like to cook) but now she has Sarita, and she’ll leave all of her recipes to her. Julian tells her that he just came from the shop and that his dad just paid the last customer, and now they are fixing the shop. Zulema is very happy. Julian goes back to the shop.

Lorena and Alonslow arrive to Zulema’s house. Lorena goes to prepare something in the kitchen and Aloslow tells Zulema about the engagement party

Paula calls Dario and Jackie’s house. Jackie doesn’t answer the phone on time and Paula thinks that they are not home. She decides that now is the best time to try and steal the bank statements. She enters the house and realizes that Jacky is home. Paula hides and Jacky thinks it was a ghost who made the noise.

At Toribio’s house, Bettina is showing Toribio how to use the internet. Toribio wants to know how to meet girls in a chat room. Bettina tells him she’ll teach him.

Back at the house of mix families, Lorena tells Zulema about her problems with the crabby teacher. Zulema can’t believe Lorena had trouble with a recipe.
Lorena tells him that she was nervous and it was the teacher’s fault.

Rosy and Julian are watching the genius program and she is trying to convince Julian to enter. He refuses saying that he is not smart enough. Maruja tells him that at least he should try. She tells him they will cheer for him.

Toribio is tired of trying to meet somebody in the internet. He tells Bettina that he doesn’t like any of the ladies that are writing to him. Bettina tells him that the lady from Russia looks very nice. He says that she looks very old and she can’t even speak Spanish. Right then, Paula enters and wants to know what they are doing. They both say homework.

Back at the love nest, Jacky tells Dario that she is positive that there are ghosts in the house, she left the magazine in the room then she heard a noise and when she came back the magazine was ripped. Dario laughs and tells her that maybe somebody entered the house. Jacky insists that the house is haunted and wants something done about it.

Omar asks Sara how was her day at school. She says that it was great. Zulema asks Omar about the shop. He tells them that once the building is ready, he’ll return it to the owner because he won’t work as a mechanic no more. He is going to go back to his old career (Whatever that was) because the food business is really going well. Zulema pipes in that Alonso ordered a nice dinner for a big event tomorrow. Sara wants to know what the reason is for the party. Zulema tells her that Lorena and Alonso are getting formally engaged tomorrow. Great cara de impactada de Sara.

At exactly the same time Lorena is telling Maruja and Rosy the good news. They are very happy for her. Rosy says that she’ll wear her best clothes. Maruja points out that the dinner is for family only, but Lorena tells her that they are her family and of course they are invited.

2nd Part

Vasco is sad because Diana won’t talk to him. He asks her why she didn’t wait for him in the morning and why she didn’t want to come back with him from work. She tells him that they don’t need to be together all the time. He knows that she is behaving like this because of the kiss, and tells her that he is interested in her. She tells him that because of her pregnancy, she can’t have a relationship right now. He tells her that he loves her and he is willing to be a father for her baby. He tells her to think about it.

Back at Hortencia’s house, she is yelling at Jaime. She tells him that he needs to snap out of it, the company needs him. Barbara also nags Jaime telling him that he can’t keep on hiding. Jaime tells them that all he wants is a few days without nagging. Hortencia tells him that she needs him at the company, but Jaime retorts that Hortencia doesn’t need anybody, and that he is not coming back. Hortencia storms out of the room. Barbara tries to convince Jaime to go back to work, but he tells her to leave him alone.

Valeria asks Arturo about the “investments” He tells her that he doesn’t have to give her any explanations. She is very upset and reminds him that he took all of her savings and she owns part of the business. He tells her that he won’t tell her anything and to just go to bed because he is not in the mood of answering her questions.

Barbara and Hortencia are talking about Jaime. Hortencia says that he is very irresponsible. Barbara goes back to her “idea” of hiring an assistant. Finally Hortencia accepts to do it. As soon as Hortencia walks out of the room, Barbara calls Arturo and tells him to send her his curriculum.

Julian is practicing for the genius program. He is telling Vasco a lot of information about Soccer. Vasco is hardly paying any attention and finally Julian asks him why is he so pensive. Vasco tells him that he is in love, but refuses to tell Julian the name of the lady of his dreams. He (Vasco) tells him that he will only tell him her name if she accepts him. Julian wishes him luck.

Sara is recovering from the impression and is already planning her next move. She swears that she’ll break up Alonso and Lorena’s relationship.

Back at Maruja’s house, Lorena is still doing her homework. Rosy asks her why she is working so hard. Lorena tells her that she needs to get an A, because the teacher took 2 points from her final grade. She explains to Rosy how she forgot some ingredients on the Salsa recipe. Rosy can’t believe that Lorena forgot something that had to do with food, she wonders if maybe it was because the teacher is so handsome. Lorena tells her that she didn’t even notice because she is in love with Alonso. Rosi remembers the engagement party and tells her to go to bed because she needs to look beautiful tomorrow.

Jacky asks Dario not to go to work. She is afraid and doesn’t want to stay by herself, she tells him that if he doesn’t stay she won’t either.

Sara is ready to go back to work. Zulema doesn’t want her to go, but Sara reminds her that they had talk about it and that Zulema should forgive her grandma. Zulema says no way Jose. Sara doesn’t want to continue to argue and she leaves. As she is exiting the house she sees Lorena. Clueless Lorena gives her the good news of her engagement and asks her to be the person representing her family. Sara says that yes she’ll be there and leaves in a hurry.

Inside Zulema is talking to Julian. Zulema tells him about Lorena’s engagement party. Julian is happy for Lorena. Julian then tells her that he is going to participate in the genius program. He tells her that with the money he is going to pay the mortgage of the house and he is going to start a formal restaurant. Zulema tells him to take it easy; otherwise he’ll have the same fate as the milk lady that was very happy with her milk and while was walking was thinking about what she was going to do with the money of the sale of her milk. She was going to buy chickens and then lambs and then a cow and then… she trip and lost her milk. She tells him that is not good to hope for too much, and it is better to wait until after the sale. Lorena arrives and gives them the good “news” about her engagement party. Kisses and hugs all around.

Diana ties to make a last effort to get Damian to answer for her child. Damian behaves like the jerk he is. Diana slaps him and tells him that she is very happy that they are not going to marry and to not worry about the child, she’ll take care of him.

At Hortencia’s company, Barbara is trying to figure out the hiring procedure. She asks the secretary about the process and the secretary tells her about how everything is handled. She figures a way to sneak in Arturo’s curriculum and puts her plan in action right away. She sends the secretary for a glass of water and as soon as she is by herself she slips the curriculum in.

Bruno is very upset about what happened with Diana. He wants to pull rank and tries to make Alonso cover for him because he is leaving. Finally Alonso stands up to him and tells him in no uncertain terms that he has a previous engagement and that he is not staying; besides Bruno has been neglecting his rounds. Bruno tries to act as the offended party, but Alonso won’t have any of it. He yells to Bruno and tells him that he (Alonso) is not staying and if he needs somebody to cover for him to look for a different doctor.

Arturo and Barbara are talking about the interview. It seems that Barbara’s trick worked and now Arturo has an interview. She tells him that he needs to be careful and land the job. He tells her that he’ll give the perfect interview.

Sara is hoping mad. She is yelling at Chalo and blaming him because he hasn’t called Lorena. Chalo accuses her of not caring about him. Sara changes her attitude right away, and starts talking all mushy and babyish. She tells him that she cares about him, it is just that she can’t waist anymore time, for their own good they have to work together to destroy Alonso and Lorena’s relationship.

Meanwhile, Alonso and Lorena are looking at churches. Lorena tells him that the church they are looking at right then is the perfect church. Alonso wants to see more churches.

My recorder stopped right here. Please fill out whatever happened next.

No problem Maricruz. Children come first!

Loved your "house of dastardly deeds" and the "strong, hot and delicious....cooking school"

Yes, our new galan is strong,hot and delicious....and needs a personality makeover. Of course our sugar-sweet Lorena is just the girl for the job! And she'll have plenty of time once Sara manages to bust up the romance with Alonso. (not a spoiler...I just assume this is how it's going to go)
 

Thanks for the recap Maricruz!

Something is wrong: it's the second episode in a row - and nothing goes wrong! I don't know, probably it's a good sign for bad things to come!

One important part - after Diana went to see "the daddy of her baby" - she made up her mind to become a novia of Vasco. I'm so happy for them!

Have you noticed - almost all romances in Zulema's family pretty much are going good ( if the people involved are the decent ones).

I agree with Judy - oh-so-hot professor is a very good match for sweet Lorena: finally she will be able to get her sweet magic working and would have an instant feedback ( no botox here!).

Poor ghost-scared Jackie - the girl could end up in a psycho ward!
 

Lorena should jump at the chance to be with Chef-Boy-R-Do. He's a cutie ,and he could cook for her.^^^Susanlynn, who tries to stay away from the kitchen as much as possible
 

Howdy =)

Thanks for the recap Maricruz ;) I have a hard time keeping up and I don't even have children yet! I can't imagine trying to keep up with recaps once those come along, so I think you're doing great ;)

Eve, I have mixed feelings about the Vasco/Diana romance. She obviously still has feelings for slimy Bruno and it may be a case of cutting her nose off to spite her face. She's still on the rebound, and there's a 50/50 chance as to whether she will actually fall in love with Vasco, or whether she'll just make him miserable because she still loves another guy. I think she should have waited a little longer just to sort out her feelings, and maybe have a few sessions with Don Toribio!

I don't know if I approve of Zuly telling Julian her story about the milkmaid. I'm not saying she needs to be like Ickturo's mom who praised him even though he's a loser, but to get him all down when he's already got zero self-esteem might not be a good thing. The cautionary tale had our milkmaid tripping because she was too busy thinking of what she was going to do with the money and not paying attention to where she was going. Julian was actually studying, so a more appropriate thing would be to say, "good luck," and maybe ask if he needed help studying. Just saying. It looks like this family, for all their love, has serious self-esteem issues. Mom thinks she's fat, Julian thinks he's a loser, and Lore cracks under pressure (then again prof sends looks that could kill). More clients for Toribio I say!!!

Interestingly, Jorge Aravena was recently on Sin Vergüenza with Telemundo. In it, he played another a$$h0le who actually turned out to have his heart in the right place and just needed a little (ok, a major) attitude adjustment. He's obviously quite good at this. Arturo Peniche (Alborado, Zorro, Victoria) is another one who does these characters very well.

I wonder how long it will take Valeria to tell Ickturo to go to hell? He's whiny, a lousy provider, he's stolen from her, and something tells me he's not performing his other "husbandly duties" now that he has Barb on the side. She needs to dump him and find herself a nice guy. Maybe she can end up with sexy chef after his triangle with Alonslow and Lore ends!
 

Margarita Chilaques --Maybe Valeria should end up with Alonslow(both docs), Lorena should end up with the hot Chef/Prof(both cooks). And Sara should end up with Chalo(both slime). I think these couplings would please most of us.
NJ Sue
 

Not a bad idea, NJ Sue...Valeria and Alonso seem to communicate quite well and yes, they would both understand the pressures of the job. I'm all for it!
 

NJ Sue, I like the pairings, but if it's Val and Alonslow, they better hire a cook ;)
 

I think it's hilarious that Betina is helping gramps with internet dating.

"Chef-boy-r-do", haha!

Thanks Maricruz! Since I am unable to watch the show I appreciate your excellent descriptions.
 

Thanks Maricruz for doing this, in the midst of your busy family life. When I'm down in Charlotte helping out with grandkids, I don't even have time to watch, much less recap!

Thanks also for going through the milkmaid story, my attention wandered during that part. We have a much shorter way of saying the same thing in English "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched".
 

I know Paula's not the most evil person in this story, but it bugs me the way she picks on her daughter. The poor kid can't even spend time with her grandfather without getting grilled about it. Is there anything she CAN do that won't annoy Paula? (Meanwhile Paula is trespassing and stoking her jealousy... somebody needs a HUGE wake-up call.)
 

Yes, Paula is one of the characters desperately in need of redemption. Wonder what form her wake-up call will take?

Love the scenes of Bettina and her granddad together. My favorite is still when he was teaching her the mambo or some such thing cause that guy could really shimmy his shoulders while swiveling his hips...and that's hard to do.!
 

Thanks for the recap Maricruz. I admire your juggling abilities with your children and recapping.

I agree with you Julie, Paula's constant nagging of her daughter is really off putting. And I agree with your statement from few days ago, our new chef is much better looking than the guy from Bones.

ITA with Margarita as well regarding the self-esteem thing in Zulema's family. She should have encouraged Julian but considering her own self-esteem perhaps that's beyond her right now.
 

Thank you everybody for your nice comments. I found out what happened at the end. It seems that Lorena received a phone call from Chalo trying to get her to come and see him, but Lorena is strong enough this time to say NO! Yes!!! I liked the fact that both Lorena and Alonso grew spines and were able to resist temptations. It frustrates me when there are a lot of misunderstandings between the main characters. I think there are a lot of things that could go wrong already, why adding to the angst? But then again that’s just my humble opinion, and I know that the Novela gods don’t listen to me.
 

They don't listen to any of us. But we keep trying, don't we? :-)
 

Tks, Maricruz for another enjoyable recap. I like the looks of the new teacher for the cooking class, an ass yes, but someone was thinking in casting. He looks way too old for Lorena, but at least the guy can emote on screen, and he is built to perfection.........
