La Que No Podía Amar #67 Thursday 3/29/12 The Woman Who Couldn't Handle It Anymore, *sob*
Oh, yeah, Ana Paula's toooootally into Rogelio. Even if she's not ready to completely admit it yet.
Dopey Gustavo huffs and puffs and fails to blow the hacienda down. He angrily undresses, throwing his clothes around in a manner not described in the Chippendale manual. Cinthia comes in and offers to help him relax…and he rejects her. And then apologizes for being such a dumbass. But he still doesn't want to go out to dinner. Cynthia leaves him to his heavy breathing. Alone.
Bruno comes into Team Evil Headquarters. Vanessa is thrilled that Rogelio thinks David is the owner of La Negra. She excuses herself to get ready for dinner. Bruno lets David know that he drugged the cows, so anytime he wants to call the authorities, go for it.
Rosaura whines. Miguel suggests maybe she should play nice with Maria. More whining from Rosaura. Miguel tries to calm her down. They get into an argument about the Paula/Gustavo/Cinthia triangle and who should and shouldn't be behaving the way they are/aren't. Miguel says they need to go get money from the bank tomorrow, for wood. Rosaura insists they ought to be asking Rogelio for money. Miguel blasts her for her stubbornness.
Ana Paula now whines to Dany about how Gustavo is sooooo upset since she told him she might maybe possibly a little bit be having feelings for Rogelio.
Efrain sneaks into Cinthia's room with a bottle of aguardiente ("fire water"; moonshine). He takes some healthy swigs and finally convinces her to have some. He wants to talk about her reaction to finding out who owns La Negra. She claims it's because she doesn't want David around. At the mention of another man's name, Efrain decides he needs to re-brand her with his hot, hot kisses.
Maria and Rosaura continue their standoff. If Rosaura wants to insist that she knows how to run the house then she'd better prove it. She goes into town with Miguel, saying she'll make the grocery list on the way. I hope Maria has some of the necessities stockpiled or Rosaura's going to come back to town with twenty pounds of candy and a bottle of dish soap and expect the whole household to be able to live off of that for a week.
Cinthia thinks that at some point Rogelio will find out that Vanessa is part owner of La Negra. "If he finds out, you'll never get his love back." Vanessa says if she has to, she'll sell the land to Bruno for cheap to keep Rogelio from finding out. Cinthia asks if they're going to give back the water once she has her part of the land and Vanessa says they will. Cinthia shows a small spark of intelligence when she says that she hopes the plan goes the way they expect it to, or it's going to suck for all of them. Well, I said it was a small spark…we can't expect her to get both brain cells firing at the same time on her very first day of attempted use!
Margarito is bummed to miss the party. Ana Paula and Rogelio will stay home with them, but now this bums Hugo out. Ana Paula bats her eyelashes and says if she's staying home, she can take care of him and Hugo can go to the party. Rogelio tells Hugo to thank the nice boss lady for being so concerned for all the hacienda workers. He asks Maria to go to the party and give Ulises something from him.
Cinthia starts talking to Vanessa about Gustavo being in a bad mood yesterday. She thinks it has something to do with The Ex. She's not going to start all over with a new potential husband. She's sure that Gustavo will help her get her inheritance, but she's not using him…they're mutually helping each other.
Rogelio goes downstairs and runs into a still huffing and puffing Gustavo. Maybe I'm being too hard on him. Maybe he has asthma. Or he just quit smoking. Or every time they show him lately, he's just gotten done running a marathon. Hey, I'm trying here. Gustavo says things are going well with the turbines, he's just upset about something…else. Rogelio offers to talk it over with him in the office and Gustavo takes him up on the offer.
Rosaura is STILL complaining about giving Miguel the money. He asks if she has some reason not to want to help him. Rosaura says she just doesn't like the idea of not having a stash of cash in case Rogelio finds out who Gustavo is. She tells Miguel to wait for her in the plaza and warns him not to go drinking. David shows up.
Gustavo has noticed a drop in the water pressure. He knows something's wrong, but he doesn't know what. Rogelio asks him to investigate.
David mocks Miguel, asking if he's not grateful for the pardon. Miguel is, quite rightly, upset that his freedom depended on David giving him that pardon when David knows full well that he didn't steal the truck. David tells him to ask his brother-in-law about that. Rogelio is not to be trusted. "For your own good, don't ever trust him." It's fairly obvious to me that Team Evil is going to get nowhere with all their evil scheming because they're all to stupid and blinded by their own baggage to know when to keep their individual and collective mouths shut.
Gustavo sees Ana Paula outside and tells her they have to talk. He asks if her aunt put the screws to her. Or Rogelio. He can't believe their love has just disappeared from one day to the next. AP says too many things can change in the coming months and it's not fair to make him wait. Cinthia comes up, asking what's going on. Gustavo says it's nothing and then asks to speak to her.
Rosaura lies (I assume) to Miguel that the money is in limbo and she can't get it until next week. He wants a better explanation, but Rosaura says there's no time, she's got to fix dinner. I don't think she's spent the money--how could she have? Out there in the middle of nowhere. Maybe she's ordering stuff from catalogs. www.tackybroads.com? But would they deliver to the hacienda? And without anyone noticing? Could she be into online gambling? She doesn't strike me as the kind of person who knows how to operate a computer. Maybe she just has a pathological need to stockpile money. Maybe she never spent the blackmail money from Elsa all those years ago.
Gustavo apologizes to Cinthia for being an ass the previous day. She tells him not to worry about it. Gustavo takes off to deal with his errand.
Cinthia asks to talk to Ana Paula. She says she's realized what's going on between AP and Gustavo. I seriously doubt that.

Cinthia asks to talk to Ana Paula. She says she's realized what's going on between AP and Gustavo. I seriously doubt that.
Cinthia says she's noticed them talking. She thinks AP is after her man. She tells her that since she married a paralyzed man for money, her punishment is to live with her decision.
Miguel is worried that Ana Paula is going to get sick. Rosaura says he should be worried about his poor sick auntie, who could keel over at any minute. We should be so lucky! She notices Bruno and sends Miguel to get her some ice cream, but since he's not allowed to carry money to keep him from buying alcohol, she has to give him a few coins. Miguel says she'll only be getting a small scoop, then. Rosaura tells Bruno that Gustavo has a copy of the contract and he knows that she helped keep AP in the dark about him not being dead. Bruno figures she's worried about damaging her image as the saintly aunt. Rosaura comes back to the idea of having him killed off, but Bruno says the timing is bad. If anything happens to him now, while he's Cinthia's boyfriend, Rogelio wouldn't stop until the killer was found.
Gustavo sees the men working down at the river and asks what's going on. One of the workers tries to say it's nothing, but Gustavo can tell they're building a dam. The guy says to take it up with his boss, who's standing riiiiight over there. Gustavo sees David and goes splashing across the river to confront him. David, rather stupidly in front of all these witnesses, says Gustavo's got to stop blaming him for everything and he's not going to ruin this business deal…David will make sure of that himself. David starts beating the crap out of him, or trying to. He doesn't get far before Vanessa shows up to berate him for it. She encourages Gustavo to go back to the house and let Ernesto check him out, then smacks David around a little, bitching that he's going to ruin everything. David just laughs. See what I mean? Team Evil will do itself in, without any outside help from Team Clueless.
Miguel shows Rogelio the desk he built. They talk about having Gustavo help them choose a good site for the school. Miguel tells Rogelio that he's going to build furniture to sell and Rogelio is cool with that. He's more concerned with Maripaz's party and asks Miguel to please not drink even a drop. Rosaura interrupts their conversation asking what's wrong, which pisses off Miguel. Rogelio asks where his coffee is. The coffee he has at this time every day, and for which he doesn't ever have to ask. Rosaura didn't know about the coffee. Rogelio suggests getting a list of…well, everything…from Maria. That doesn't go over well. Rogelio looks like he can't decide whether this amuses him or whether he just wants his damn coffee already!
Macaria and Ulises decorate for the party. Efrain is also helping with the decorating and tells Ulises to put on some music. Macaria falls off a chair and hurts herself. She ends up with Efrain holding her up and Ulises holding her hand to comfort her.
Rosaura brings in some presumably crappy coffee. Rogelio says it's fine, he'll just drink tea today. He sips at his watery coffee without making a face. Rosaura convinces Rogelio to get wood for Miguel. Wait, that didn't come out right. Oh well. She also tries to convince him to let her "administrate" the house, which she describes as bossing everyone around and spending all his money. Rogelio cracks up laughing at the idea that he would ever let Rosauara get her hands on his money.
While poor Margarito lies there in bed, Ana Paula whines to Dany about her love triangle. Nice priorities there. She raises the possibility of being pregnant. She thinks it's highly probable.
Vanessa gets Gustavo back to the house. She wants to get Cinthia, but Gustavo refuses. Well, since he can't outrun her, she gets to have her say. Gustavo calls Esteban and rats out David. Esteban says what David is doing is a crime. Although, he's not thrilled about helping out the man who "stole" Vanessa from him.
Dany and AP reminisce about their days back in nursing school. AP thinks a baby is always a blessing. They're unsure how Rogelio will react.
Esteban is surprised that everyone in this telenovela is connected to everyone else in a giant knot comprised of a hideous mix of coincidence and bad decision-making. He'll definitely do something about David, though, because the law is the law, damnit! He's going right down there to San Gabriel, cause the awkward house party of awkwardness just won't be complete until everyone who could potentially make anyone else's life uncomfortable is hanging around at the hacienda, drinking Rogelio's tequila and putting their muddy boots up on his coffee table.
More pregnancy talk. AP needs to pee on a stick. Not that she knows where to get a stick. She's not going to get it at Ulises' shop.
Cinthia makes out with Efrain. They're interrupted by Vanessa, saying that Gustavo got a beating. "He found out what David's doing and they got into a fight." Cinthia sends Vanessa to go get Ernesto and she'll be right behind her. Vanessa leaves and Cinthia insists to Efrain that she has to keep Gustavo on a string and convince him to marry her so she can get her inheritance and then once she does, she and Efrain can be together. And also, she's come into possession of a very nice bridge that he'd perhaps be interested in.

And also, she's come into possession of a very nice bridge that he'd perhaps be interested in.
Rosaura shows off her groceries. Maria doesn't think it looks like much. Apparently some of it is a new eyeshadow palette. Rosaura bought mostly beef and tomatoes. The two things the hacienda already produces plenty of. Ooh, burn!
Rogelio writes Miguel a check for the wood. He insists he wants to take it out of the money that Rogelio is paying his aunt. Rogelio is stunned that Miguel would turn down a blank check, but Miguel wants to be more responsible. Rogelio is glad he thinks that way. Miguel doesn't want to be a burden. He wants AP to make her own decisions without worrying about what's going to happen to him. Rogelio asks if Miguel thinks that AP would have left already if Miguel weren't there. Miguel says AP isn't doing well and he's worried about her.
Cinthia fusses over Gustavo, who's busy grunting and breathing loudly.
Chio goes to Esteban's office. He hopes she's not still angry. Chio says she's only there to say goodbye. She's going on a shopping expedition for her store. "I thought you might try to stop me. Might ask me to stay with you, or tell me you want to travel with me. But I guess not. It's a shame you're rejecting my love since it's real!"
Ulises and Macaria review the party menu. Dany asks to speak with Macaria alone. She asks for a pregnancy test, but says it's not for her. So of course, Macaria thinks it IS for Dany. She swears she'll keep her mouth shut…ha!...and packs up the test. Ulises asks what she needed…"A pregnancy test!" Way to keep your mouth shut, Macaria! Ulises assumes it's Miguel's baby.
David whines about how Gustavo isn't going to screw this up for him. Vanessa tells him to calm down. She says they can't let Rogelio suspect that she's on his side. Cinthia comes in to yell at David.
Ernesto tells AP he can't tell her what's going to happen with Margarito, they have to wait. Gustavo comes shambling in and gets yelled at by Ernesto that he should be resting. AP jumps to the conclusion that Rogelio had Gustavo beaten, but he insists Rogelio had nothing to do with it. AP then commences to have a nervous breakdown in the hallway, crying and moaning that she just can't take it anymore. And here I thought I was the expert and making everything all about me. I relinquish my crown. She ends up sobbing in Gustavo's arms, asking who beat him.
Cinthia and David keep fighting until Vanessa breaks it up. She says they have to figure out how to keep Gustavo from telling Rogelio about the river. David is pissed that the two of them want to keep looking innocent to Rogelio, so he's getting all the blame for everything, even though there are four of them making the decisions. "If I get turned in for this, I'm not going down alone!"
The guys walk AP to someone's room, where she lies down on the bed. Gustavo wants to know why she suspected Rogelio, but Ernesto tells him to back the hell off and go bring his med kit. Once he leaves Ernesto says she can't go on like this, being concerned for everyone else but herself. He also tells her that Rogelio had jack to do with the beating, it was actually David. He warns her that if she doesn't get some rest he's going to end up having to put her in the hospital. AP whines and cries about not wanting to take any pills and just needing some sleep. This is apparently Miguel's room, which I didn't recognize, and Ernesto wanted her brought there so she could rest without being bothered. Gustavo comes back with the bag and Ernesto says he's going to give her a sedative.
Maripaz's party arrives. Ulises has noticed how much hotter Macaria is since she came back from Mexico.
Cinthia brings Gustavo a glass of water and a pill for his pain. She says she's pissed about the beating and so is Rogelio. "Oh, I had to tell him. You're looking out for our interests. And my brother always wants to know everything that's going on." She begs him to let her spoil him.
Dany brings the pregnancy test to AP. Rosaura overhears and slaps AP for being stupid enough to get pregnant. Thus endeth our tale for today.
Tomorrow: tense moments, AP confronts the truth, Rogelio goes after Gustavo with the whip.

Took truffles out to *2* events tonight. I'm so tired I don't even know what I wrote at this point, and it feels like it's going to take a month for my feet to recover. www.facebook.com/Sweetsby5ftLatina has pictures. Good night!
5 ft, I was so pleased to find this recap here this morning to have with coffee. I loved "Team Evil Headquarters" what a perfect name for that bunch of morons. And about Sinthia, "we can't expect her to get both brain cells firing at the same time". Perfect.
ITA, what does Tia spend all that money on? She never has enough, and we never see her sneak out to off-track betting. She blew off the friend she is always buying jewelry from, so why does she never have money?
And why didn't Gus just go to Rohell and say, "dude, David is cutting off your water supply" ?
You'd also think if AP suspects she's pregnant, she'd shut her yap about how she is feeling about Rohell, and Gus, etc, since soon she could get kicked out of the hacienda with no place to so. Just sayin'.

Thank you to the recapper!
Regarding the drug that is being given to the cattle by the villains: the drug is cleNbuterol and not cleMbuterol. If I follow this story line correctly, the writers have implied that the David person went to the US to obtain this drug. Clenbuterol is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for any human use. It has been used as an inhaler in some other countries, but not in the US.
The drug is approved for used in equines as a pulmonary inhaler. The David character would have had to have purchased a fair amount of the equine formulation to bring back to Mexico to use in his dastardly deed. How does one smuggle that much clenbuterol back into Mexico is what I want to know.
Illegal use has included use by athletes to increase muscle mass and in cattle to increase lean meat production.
In the real world, any meat eaten by humans from cattle contaminated with this drug has the potential to cause serious food poisoning.
In the real world, any cattle producer in any country found to use this drug in their cattle would face serious financial and business repercussions if found guilty.
As for the cattle being 'drowsy', that is most likely a creative take on the part of the writers.
My closed captions rarely work, so my understanding of the actual name of the drug being used in the cattle comes from what has been written in the recaps.

Awesome recap!!
"Team Evil will do itself in, without any outside help from Team Clueless" nearly had my spewing coffee across the table.
In addition to Anon post, if I remember correctly there was a case of food poisoning involving Mexican beef that was tainted with clenbuterol in the not too distant past. I too am wondering how the heck you get that much drug across the border.

5ft, what an amazing amount of of good lines in this recap. If you were so tired you did this on autopilot, that's even more impressive.
Among many, I liked
"Ana Paula..... told him she might maybe possibly a little bit be having feelings for Rogelio."
Audrey and Elvira, thanks for joining forces as the Delicious Duo to give us yesterday's recap. I didn't get a chance to tell you how much I enjoyed it.

Great work, Kat. What an opening with Dopey Gustavo huffs and puffs and fails to blow the hacienda down. He angrily undresses, throwing his clothes around in a manner not described in the Chippendale manual. Classic.
There is noplace else to buy a pregnancy test kit in San Gabriel? No pharmacy or clinic? Macaria is the Queen of the Gossip Girls and I'll bet her husband isn't much better. Dani is a qualified nurse and could have said this was for a patient; end of story.
If bankers have the same level of discretion that doctors have in TNs it shouldn't be long before Miguel or AP finds out exactly how much dinero their Tia MentiRosa really has.
While getting pregnant would not be a good thing it doesn't justify the slap Tia MentiRosa gave AP. I'd hit her right back.
David should take the others down with him and Gustavo was right to involve Esteban despite the fact that telling Rogelio right away wouldn't have hurt. Knowing what's up between them Rogelio would have believed him.

Kat, thanks so much for yet another fantastic recap. I laughed at line after line. If I listed them all, I'd almost be repeating the whole thing! I especially loved Team Evil vs. Team Clueless, as well as "Dopey Gustavo huffs and puffs and fails to blow the hacienda down." And then there was the very nice bridge Efrain can buy from Cinthia. Though you may relinquish your crown for being the expert of making things be about you :-), you still hold the Magnificent Recapper crown!
I have to say, I found the discussion between AP and Dani about AP's possible/probable pregnancy a bit weird. AP talks (somewhat fatuously, IMHO) about all pregnancies being a blessing, when it seems clear that THIS pregnancy would cause her immense problems. I tried and tried to tighten my beanie, but I couldn't make it tight enough to accept this.

Thank you so much 5ft for this fantastic, snarky recap.
I too loved your take on "Team Evil Headquarters" and the clueless ones lol. They are truely stupid. They keep getting caught, and once everyone puts it together, the will be screwed.
I too wonder where the Tia is spending all that money. Liked your take on that lol. Hated how the Tia slapped the Cupcake. If I had been the Cupcake I would have slapped her back and told her to mind her own business. That would have shut her up.
Poor Dani. You know Macaria will spread this around like wildfire. The Cupcake needs to take the test asap. This way she will know for sure. I am tired of her right now. All the whining and angst. Get it over with already.
Anon-maybe David paid someone off in customs or the cans were deliberatly mislabeled as something that could be brought back to Mexico that is legal. I hope we all find out how he did this.
I really liked your take about everyone gathering at Hell Fuerte and putting their muddy boots on Rohell's coffeetable lol.
Glad Guscake called Esteban. If it is illegal to cut off the water supply Vainy, Sin, Bruno and David will be royally screwed. But of course they will probably hang David out to dry. I really hope all of them get caught.
If Sin had half a brain she would be dangerous. When Rohell finds out what she did, there will be hell to pay.
5ft-Hope you did really well with the truffles.

My husband informs me that it's spelled Clembuterol in Spanish and Clenbuterol in English. He got this from reading the both Spanish and English Wikipedia entries about the drug. I think many of us picked up the spelling from the captions.

Awesome recap 5ft! So funny! My fave line was "Esteban is surprised that everyone in this telenovela is connected to everyone else in a giant knot comprised of a hideous mix of coincidence and bad decision-making." ROTFLOL!
But I also loved all of Gustavo's huffing, especially the bit about him huffing and puffing and trying to blow the hacienda down.
Yep, Team Evil is pretty chaotic, but unfortunately I don't think that keeps them from doing major damage!
I, too, have been suspecting that Tía Rosaura has her stash hoarded somewhere (as money or jewels or both) and hasn't spent much of it. She's just so obsessive yet you see little evidence of having spent any.

I sometimes think that Rosaura just gets off on scamming the money. This may be related to childhood poverty, but it's more about scamming the money than about what money is supposed to pay for. Now that she is past her own prime she is using her niece... until AP and/or Miguel figure this out.
I'd bet the entire mega-millions jackpot that if AP were to leave Rogelio at the end of the story Rosaura would hunt for another wealthy man to sell her to. That's her nature.

Great recap, Kat, with the funny lines just rolling out, one after another.
Efrain “re-branding” Cinthia *snort*
Tia R must be hoarding the money, whilst always searching for more to feed her compulsive greed.
David is just a thug in business wear. I can't stand him.
This was the first time I recall seeing the hacienda’s elevator in action, taking Rohell to the lower floor.
Loved Rohell listening to Tia’s ambitions for her career and trying not to laugh. Of course Tia's grocery shopping was a bust. Everyone must be sneaking into the pantry for snacks while she “cooks”.
"Cinthia fusses over Gustavo, who's busy grunting and breathing loudly." And she's trying to kiss him while's he's in severe pain. Only one brain cell working here.
"...everyone in this telenovela is connected to everyone else in a giant knot comprised of a hideous mix of coincidence and bad decision-making." And that's the absolute truth!
"the awkward house party of awkwardness just won't be complete until everyone who could potentially make anyone else's life uncomfortable is hanging around at the hacienda, drinking Rogelio's tequila and putting their muddy boots up on his coffee table." That's why there are big haciendas.
Chio visiting Esteban—why? Why? Leave us in peace, Chio!
Right, Macaria won't tell aaanyone about the pregnancy test! Just take it already, AP.

I am wondering how many rooms in that hacienda aren't being used. It looks way too big for the number of people living in the main house.
Here's a subject for discussion: Would Rogelio be better off getting rid of Rosaura or is he better off with her under his roof?

What is wrong with the person who does the English "cc's" for LQNPA? (The Spanish ones are fine.) Besides translating words incorrectly, the "cc's" disappear for significant sections of the dialogue. I usually switch back to the Spanish and wait 5 minutes and then back to the English ones.

5ft.: Thanks for another great recap.
I don't know what storyline purpose having Rosaura play cook serves. She has way too much screen time. Miguel is as blockheaded as they come. She controls HIS money? Aw, come on.
And - why do we have to suffer through Chio scenes of rejection? She has been let down as gently as possible. Remember girls, don't give your novio baby booties as a gift.
Anon - wow explanation of clen(m)buterol. We have the fictionalized version here. Rogelio's enemies are trying to ruin him by poisoning the cattle.
The Spanish captions disappear, too, BTW.

In Colombia, aguardiente is an anise-flavored liquor made from sugar cane. I drank a teeny, weeny bit of it when I was in Bogota. It's not bad. Some of my fellow travelers brought bottles home as souvenirs. (I brought back coffee and arequipe.)

Kat, thank you for the recap in the midst of your beautiful truffles.
I LOL when Tia slapped AP. She just saw her chance of giving Bruno a virgin bride on a silver platter go up in smoke.

Thanks, Kat for your recap. Amazing work after two truffle events in the same evening. Congratulations on your success with 'Sweetsby5ftLatina' and good luck on finding the right shoes!
I was unable to see the epi and your recap makes me feel like I didn't miss a thing.
Thanks again.

5ft, great recap. Kept me laughing all the way. I too loved the "awkward house party of awkwardness ..."
How many times does AP have to get slapped by Tia before she realizes dear ole auntie is anything but? I'm still holding out that AP is not pregnant, just nervous and hysterical.
Thought Macaria's whirl with Efrain might change her gossiping ways, but nope.

Beautiful work, again, Kat! I'm going to be late for work, reading this, but a girl has her priorities!
You cracked me up with "...At the mention of another man's name, Efrain decides he needs to re-brand her...' So so true. This dog has left his mark just about everywhere.
There were way too many funny Kat-icisms to requote here, but I LOL'ed a million times. Too bad about the poor Chio-pet. Why did they even have that scene? I was hoping she was out of the picture for good.

I don't think I have ever seen so many brainless and stupid characters in one of these stories in my entire life!
The only ones with brains seem so be Maria and Rogelio.
This is definitely NOT Cuando Me Enamoro. I've never seen such a wishy-washy, clueless female protagonist as this Ana Paula. Does she ever open her eyes to ANY situation?

Good point Rosemary.
Thank you to anonymous for the clembuterol explanation.
I am sure having fun reading the excellent recaps for this story.
I am sure no matter what Dani would say to Macaria that she would still assume that Dani was pregnant.
about the cc's lately, my cable has has NADA for two weeks now. Not English, not Spanish. Very aggravating!

Awesome recap and loved the snark 5 ft. I was a bit irritated when AP automatically assumed that Rog had something to do with Gus' latest beating.
I didn't understand why Gus just didn't out and tell Rog that David is cutting off his water supply.
Wonder how long will it be before Rog finds out about the cattle poisoning. I doubt AP, in her current state of mind, will remember seeing Bruno in the stables looking suspicious.
Wonder will Macaria (sp) blab to anyone else that Dani bought a pregnancy test.
Wonder what got Rog so riled up he took out the whip in the previews.

Thank you 5 Ft. Speedy and funny work!
Anon -- I was just thinking about how naive and downright dumb AP is. How did this woman master a nursing curriculum? It boggles the mind.
Gustavo is nearly as bad, though he's shown some signs of intelligence when it comes to environmental engineering at least.
I realize that the two cakes are meant to be the innocents in the middle of a maelstrom of evil, but a little smarts would help the character development that viewers like to see in their heroes and heroines.
Great info on how the adulteration of the cattle products is going to work. So much for Maria's and Consuelo's report on the best beef in the land coming from the hacienda.
Question for Carlos or anyone else with medical knowledge. Every time that Rogelio and Margarito are subjected to the physical therapy I wonder if this can conceivably be anywhere near current practices in cases of paralysis.
Thanks to Jarocha, by the way, for the point about the nursing students and other young professionals in Mexico (perhaps especially rural areas) not being able to find work in their fields of study. It does explain the plights of Dani and AP. Happens here, too, in some fields.

You are brilliant 5ft! You told the whole story in a nutshell with this glorious paragraph:
"Esteban is surprised that everyone in this telenovela is connected to everyone else in a giant knot comprised of a hideous mix of coincidence and bad decision-making. He'll definitely do something about David, though, because the law is the law, damnit! He's going right down there to San Gabriel, cause the awkward house party of awkwardness just won't be complete until everyone who could potentially make anyone else's life uncomfortable is hanging around at the hacienda, drinking Rogelio's tequila and putting their muddy boots up on his coffee table."
Bravo! I wish I could be this creative at oh, anything!

Forgive me fellow readers for citing the whole paragraph above. I just could not decide which part I liked the best!
5ft, this whole recap was BRILLIANT. I laughed out loud so many times while reading this. When you do a stream-of-consciousness recap is when some of your best snark comes out. Absolutely brilliant and so to the point! Thank you so much!
Your candy looks fabulous, BTW!

The "physical therapy" is just range of motion. It helps keep flexibility, and perhaps help prevent atrophy but it won't cure anything.

Yes definitely gorgeous truffle photos. Your cover photo of dark chocolate truffles topped with toasted coconut just makes me drool!! FOOD PORN! Now that I've been outed in my food porn addiction, I figure I might as well revel in it. :)
Kat, I was wondering, aren't you limited in the months you can sell truffles outdoors in an open air market? seems like they could just melt away. I notice from your photos that it wasn't a problem in January from the way you were dressed.

Thanks, all. I'm glad you enjoy my incoherent ramblings :p
I'm starting to have to keep the display truffles on ice, but even then, anything that's out on the table is trashed at the end of the day. I mean, I still eat them, but they're all gooey and not pretty anymore :D When that doesn't work, maybe in a few weeks, then it will be pictures on the table. All the actual sale stuff is in a cooler with a giant ice pack.
