Alborada, 7/12/2011. Cap. 30
On YouTube, haguilar78's clips for Cap 30 start at this link.
Thank you, Carlos, for today's picture. They really add flavor to the blog posts.
And Julie sent a screenshot of our favorite spitfire, Tia Isabel. Thanks, Julie!

Can someone tell me what Antonio said about the prostitutas in his scene with Rodrigo?
What I remember most about the corn pudding thing was carefully copy-pasting, printing, and formatting the recipe for future reference. :)
To me, this felt like two different episodes cut together: a) the horror of Martin's death and b) the horror of everything else. Tia's rage was very satisfying, but I'm feeling a little nervous about it now and anxious to see how it all turns out tomorrow!
I also considered grabbing a picture of that bizarre close-up of Diego's Crotch of Fury, but then I realized that no one would want to see it!
I wasn't so sure about the peanut part. Assuming that I did hear it correctly, he also means he's not a puny twerp who's going to be intimidated by Diego and Gasca. (Ulp. Good luck with that, kiddo.)
Andres said,
"...no soy asesino ni tampoco alcahuete."
alcahuete means pimp or procurer
cacahuete means peanut
I've once confused the two the same way while reading and wondered why the author was calling this guy a peanut.
Carlos
Poor Martin, it took him two episodes to die.
Carlos, thanks for clarification about the peanut/pimp. I love thinking of Gasca as a pimp. It explains a lot including his wardrobe choice.
Who are the two little girls that we have seen playing the courtyard?
When I grow up I want to be just like Tia. She is just wonderful.
OT- I always make Carlos' Corn Pudding during the holidays. Susanlynn, I would love to have your Chocolate Eclair Cake recipe. I am afraid that chocolate is my guilty pleasure.

So... Andres did not deny being a peanut. Good. From now on I'm going to picture him with a top hat, cane, and monocle.
Getting back to Carlos's picture, though, it is very sad about Martin. But if it hadn't happened today, it would have happened a few weeks later. I figure all hell is about to break loose, and Martin was always impatient to prove himself. Inevitably, another opportunity would have come up for him to bite off more than he could chew, and then he'd end up dead anyway.
Coincidentally, I saw something this morning on the Today show (I think that's where it was) about longevity. They said that having a good attitude is helpful, as long as your attitude isn't too good. People who are more optimistic and self-confident tend to take more risks, which compromises their longevity.
Well, sure, but doesn't the alternative compromise something as well? Martin chose his priority and wound up dead, but maybe he was happier to die young knowing that he'd given it his all, than to spend the next 40 years or more regretting that he played it safe.
Rosemary- I believe the two little girls are Diego's daughters from his first marriage (dead wife). Both his legit children and his iligit children are all girls. Making Rafael as big of a threat in the future as Luis is to him now. He did not like seeing the little one in the house, nor the fact that his mama seemed to be pampering him.
What made Tia Isabel think that just because she forbade it that Diego would keep his grubby paws off Marina?
Rosemary
Only reading the recaps for this part the first time around, it must not have stuck in my head, because I didn't see that coming at all. No wonder I couldn't remember how he made out in the end! He didn't. I think I felt worse for Marcos than anyone else, though - he seemed like he was trying so hard to pull Martin back on the path, and then this.
Watching the scene with Asuncion running into the street and Team Antonio/Rodrigo trying to intervene, I kept thinking, "Well, Antonio, THESE are your in-laws. Sure you wanna stay married?"
Methinks the phrase, "Hell hath no fury," was invented to describe Tia Isabel. You know there's got to be something germinating in that head of hers!
Julie, Crotch of Fury? That's too funny!! Of course I knew what you meant the moment Diego framed his own kit with his hands and then the camera close up.
Cacahuete vs alcahuete...gotta love it when we misinterpret.
Mad Marley, good call on the Marcos grief. People, i.e. his peeps on the show, tend to overlook his feelings because he's such a stoic. Tonight they said something about Marcos and Martin being about the same age and like brothers, so the guy is definitely grieving.
Chocolate Eclair Cake? Oh man I'm going to be dreaming of that tonight. Must have the recipe. Now.
And Carlos, about the corn relish. Is it something you eat by itself, as a salad/side dish? Or do you use it as a condiment?
Darla’s Corn Pudding
1 Box Jiffy Cornbread mix
1 Can Whole kernel corn
1 Can Cream Corn
2 Eggs beaten
8 oz sour cream
1 stick butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
Pour butter into 9X13 pan. Mix eggs, sugar and cans of corn including liquid and sour cream. Pour into pan. Shake cornbread mix over corn mixture, take fork and gently mix together. Bake 350 degree for 30 to 40 minutes.
As justification we can say they are in context. Corn and chocolate both originated in the New World and pibil is an authentic southwestern dish (or northern Mexican, depending on which side of the border you are standing on.)
Boy is Luis going to be hopping mad when he learns his momma took his son. I bet she doesn't give him up without a fight.
It looks like Catalina is going to get what she secretly wants. But I'm on her side--I would want Cristobal to want me for me (and I do mean me--he's really growing on me) and not to salvage the financial ruin of the family.
