PEAM #21, 04/08/2013 - – Spying, Kissing, Yoga and More Hot Kisses, Aaaaahhhh


El Refrito: I Love, love, love Jesus’ Chicago accent, much easier to understand than the feckless Fernando (Dimm); Pati is so disgusted with Fernando’s off work hours treatment of her Hawt Dayt; Jesus easily decks the drunken bidnez jerk.  Rogue plays the fool so well as he berates the lovely raccoon eyed Alma for defending her hecho y derecho secretario instead of standing by his silliness.  He always forgets she has a brain. Oh my, let’s move on.

El Nuevo: As Rogue whines to his assistant (sorry cannot keep this man’s name or story straight) in the parking area about Jesus Garcia, across the smooth chubby cheeks of said hombre, there is a flashback movie of Yuri condemning some Jesus Garcia as the man who landed him in jail for failing to illegally transport the suitcase of funds.  Let’s kill him.  Yuri definitely looked better in his white nine piece suits and swag of golden chains, but prison costumes don’t make most people look their best.


Rogue gets in his car and practically has a bird when Pati jumps up like a jumping jack in his car.  She has waited for him.  More carping from Dimm and Dimmer Fernando which I lost most of but it turns out that Jesus and Alma go back inside the party just in time to see line dancing and a request to lead a toast for all the donors.   She downs an enormous shot of tequila.  In her softer post-shot blur, she questions Jesus about his girlfriend named Alma just like she is.  This woman loses her inhibitions so fast it’s a wonder Rogue hasn’t seized the advantage.   Jesus protests that he has no girlfriend but rather than hear his explanation, she slips back over for more toasts and another big swig lands her sweeping off her feet but caught in the nick of time by Jesus.  A moment of more soulful looks into the eyes as they slowly rise still embracing.  No one seems to think it is odd except the vigilant Fernando who is titillated as usual.  We need to find this one a girlfriend of his own but he can’t exactly take the lovely Jessica to these high class events.

Rogue continues to carp at Pati back in his apartment not aware of the irony of his complaints of Alma’s constant disloyal defending of Jesus when she should be blindly loyal to her fiancé - HIM.  The blindly loyal Pati listens with as much sympathy as she can muster given that she gets the irony too.

A drunken Alma hears Jesus story about the hysterical prying mother of Valentina, the bigger than life bra, the confused conversation with Veronica and Chatita and how the mixup occurred on the “girlfriend” being labeled Alma.  Finally understanding, sort of, Alma slides ever horizontally on the park bench, while Jesus, ever the gentleman, tries to get her vertical again while Fernando watches from the ferns showing the cut the throat sign.  He must be imagining getting rid of Jesus will now be easy-peasy.  

Speaking of horizontal, Pati tries to sooth Rogue with a bit of horizontal mambo, he has trouble letting go of his hurt ego.  Jumping over to the party, Jesus is driving a slumping Alma in her car again and letting the cell phone ring futilely in her purse.  Fernando is way too involved in this drama, Pati is getting disgusted with Rogue’s inability to understand women and why Alma may not be answering him but wouldn’t it be better if they just play.  Yeah, what a goof you are Rogelio, Pati is so hawt for you and only wanted to make you jealous.

Jesus and Alma arrive at her apartment building, he opens the gates to the garage with her remote on the windshield sun shade, as they disappear inside the gate, Fernando is hot on the trail and muses that the interloper Jesus has just gotten himself into Alma’s pantry, er I mean garage…  the scene ends with more lascivious twisting of the mustache by Fern the infernal.

Thunder in the background, Rogue is going to go into the rain to get to Alma when Pati shames him into staying in his own love nest by her sexy side.

Back and forth, I am dizzy with the changing camera angles, but Jesus is comforting the drunken Alma when she comes to long enough to tell him she loves him. They share another of those scorching kisses, long and sensual.  Then she slides back into blissful slumber while he continues to deny and make Chuchoisms to her dead to the world head.

An unhappy and very dirty Marisela dressed in little girl braids, is in a begging scene that turns into a nightmare from which she awakens because of the leaks in her roof and windowsill are pouring water all over her.  She cries at her past and her present with equal pain.

Fernando is watching the door of Alma’s when he sees Jesus’ come out of the building; he seems to disappear assuming the show is over but we get to see Jesus dance in the rain.  He laughs at his fate in the rain and says he has had an unforgettable night, a night at the movies.  He doesn’t dance or sing so Gene Kelly is not rolling in his grave but viewerville enjoys the soaking wet Jesus in his boundless joy at the kiss.

OMG, a calm Veronica is enjoying the benefits of yoga.  She is very limber and capable.  Our Carlos must be over the moon.  I even liked her in this scene.  Ooohhhmmm…

Chatita and Jesus enjoy their dinner and much confusion as he tries to share his joy at Alma’s declaration of love, but acknowledges that the monkey wrench in the works is that she is to marry Rogelio.  Jesus gets a bit frustrated in a good-natured way as Chatita continue to confuse Veronica, Alma and all parts of the story. His smile of pure joy tells the real story.  Chatita always ends with a deep understanding of the basic meaning of what is important.

Alma wakes up with a fierce hangover, sudden flashbacks of grasping at Jesus during her toasting frenzy greet her awakening back to the real world.

Marisela, berates her father for her miserable life, her miserable leaky bedroom, his miserable inability to take care of her in the style she deserves, his miserable job which he needs to upgrade to something worthy instead of being a filthy garbage picker.  She steps out of the hopeless hut in her high heels mincing her way through the mud.  Her fury leaves me unmoved.  She is headed to a fall if not into the mud right now, it is nevertheless coming.

Veronica’s yoga happy cloud has disappeared and the bitch is back with jet fuel in her orange juice (or is it carrot or wheat grass??)  She again threatens emotionally her dear daughter whose only very wise response is that she doesn’t want to lose contact with her beloved papa Jesus.  Veronica looks like she just swallowed a frog.  Thankfully, Valentina has an ironclad character of goodness.  Maybe Veronica will wake up to her abusive ways before it is too late, maybe?

So Rog get a chance to belittle Jesus’ importance to Don Max on the phone. He says oh sure he is a good person and good worker but the reason Jesus is a secretario instead of in his trained field of finance is because all the positions are filled at Avon.  Don Max looks thoughtful.  Ed. Note: I claim a point because I surmised this might happen in my comments on Mads’ recap from Friday.  He would be a fool not to hire this gem out from under the ungrateful Rogelio… Stay tuned on this scene.

The flunky (I could say Fulano here, no?) goes to jail to see Yuri and tells him he has found the famous Jesus Garcia right under their noses.  They agree to send Fulano with paper work and then Yuri asks for one more favor, he asks for pen and paper then writes a note to Señor Rivadeneira that the flunky is to deliver ONLY into the hands of said Rogelio.  Me thinks it’s a kill order???  We can’t imagine that Rogelio himself has put the name Jesus Garcia together in the two places where it matters.  Just wait and see the fireworks.

A chastened and sober Alma hears Jesus say you ought to be careful of all those shots of Tequila.  Alma claims she remembers nada de nada of the night before.  Jesus’ might be a little disappointed that it was really NADA but she then apologizes so profusely that he had to take care of her and he jokingly kids her that now it is she that needs to stop apologizing all the time.  She shyly, me thinks slyly asks and what happened when you brought me home.  He is such a gentleman.  She is so lucky.

Maricela’s Daddy is climbing on a ladder trying to fix the hole in the roof.  He suffers a biting leg pain and maybe more as he slumps down still on the ladder.

The brazen proud Marisela brags about her meeting with important people once at the office, only Xochi is hard to impress since she doesn’t really get the bragging bit to begin with.

So the “what happened last night?” game continues and Alma seems satisfied that she didn’t do anything really embarrassing in front of all the people.  She asks again about later at her place, and Jesus relives this kiss, this kiss...  He is so honest he finally tells her that she said she loved him.  Shock and protest (Lady Macbeth kind of shock and protest?)  Well she didn’t kill she just kissed so they two stories are hardly comparable.

Next time:  Fernando happily spills his spy stories to an enraged big brother Rogue.  That must feel great to Fernando on more than one level who rubs it in that Jesus entered Alma’s apartment building however tells none of his shock that Jesus reappeared so soon.

The scene looks like Rogelio is going to fire Jesus for being HAWT with his fiancé?? Stay tuned, keep breathing deeply…

Watching here in LA...wow. That girl can sure hold her liquor! God bless her! Can't wait for you guys to fill in the blanks for us! I admit I'm going back and forth between this and the NcAA championship game! Oooooh she just said te quierro....... Gertie
 

Well, I didn't mean to be the first showing up here, but this is what I got. Enjoy!

''Women don't snore, they purr''

Today is November 3rd. and after enjoying those delicious chilaquiles with Chatita, and with his sweater on his shoulders, Jesús enjoyed remembering the kiss he got last night from a drunken Alma. All the way from his apt. in Topochico to Avon, he daydreamed about it...

That was surely the best of the night, because the party... to be honest and to have had guests from the best of the ''High Society'' in Monterrey it didn't show. People were poorly dressed, music was poorly chosen, etc.
Does Jesús always pick up falling women like he is dancing a tango and almost kissing them? (this is the second time).
The behavior of Rogelio and Pati pushing and pulling outside the restrooms, where everybody could see them was too obvious for a couple who should lay low and be discrete, what would ''all those RICH people'' think of them?...

Now, the worst part in the episode was the ''magic realism'' added with that black cloud raining only on Jesús... Not magical at all! Pathetic special effect that make the sound effects look nice!

I thought Alma lived in a nice futuristic apt. but Rogelio, did you see the Castle where he lives... ? I wonder where it is and who actually lives there...

This episode was sponsored by the words Caray! (Gee), Tocayo(a) -namesake, Qué padre (cool), and the made up word Terapiarte (give you therapy).
Words made up by the caption lady: Pierce (Purse),
Words that look like made up words:Pusillanimous, you get the idea...

The make up crew should pay more attention to the huge Colunga's crowfeet. I could have grow corn in them!! That and the Rompope la Villita sabor Vainilla commercial, which Chatita proudly displays behind her, were the two more embarrasing moments...

Now I offer you, to compensate, the original recipe for Chilaquiles Norteños:

2 portions

8 corn tortillas cut in small pieces
1 teaspoon oil
4 eggs
Fresh goat cheese

For the salsa verde:
3 Husk tomatoes
2 serrano peppers
1 clove garlic
1/4 onion
a little cilantro
salt, black pepper and cumin to taste

You can prepare the salsa first (cooking tomatoes and pepper in boiling water until soft and then processing them with the rest of the ingredients), or get a little can from HERDEZ brand (if they make commercials, so can I, and that's the best I have tasted).

Then pour the oil in the skillet, add the tortillas and fry well. When crispy add eggs and let cook. Turn off the stove, add the salsa and finally the cheese, enjoy like Jesús did adding a little refried beans (optional)...
 

Chilaquiles?? Hellz YES and thank you!!

I like FC's crows' feet though. For a while I thought they'd gone missing.
 

Hay-soooos has a new shirt and vest! Yay!
 

The avances voiceover guy cracks me up.
 

Okay, the recap is up and I am going to review the kissing scenes a few more times. Buenas noches a todos.
 

Cheryl,

What a marvelous, fun recap. So funny. Loved that scene of Chucho in the rain and it was a mite Gene Kellyish wasn't it? That kiss was awesome.

Fern is an idiot much worse than a Dimm. He just can't wait to get rid of Chucho, come hell or high water. So is Rog, what idiots they both are. I wish Pati would dump Rog. He treats her so badly.

I too hope Don Max hires Chucho away from Rogue. That would be so great.

I had to laugh at Vero with her deep breathing, but she was a lot calmer.

That party was a blast and a hoot, except for Fern. And Alma really can put those shots away, lol.

I don't get why Maricela just doesn't pool her funds with her Papa and get a better place. Now the poor man has passed out. Maricela is a fresa wanna be.

Pablo:

Thanks for the recipe for Chilaquiles. They sound yummy. I am going to make them.
 

Love it. "The bitch is back with jet fuel in her orange juice" hee hee hee.
 

Wonderful recap Cheryl! Aaaaaahhhh indeed. That was a wonderful kiss. I hope Alma remembers it at some point. Both times now she's initiated the kissing with Jesus. I wonder when he'll finally initiate a kiss between them?

That breakfast of chilaquiles and fresh fruit looks scrumptious! Obviously the cameraman agrees because he kept focusing in on it, lovingly. Maybe he was hungry?

Rogue actually purposely gave Max the idea to hire Jesus and to give him a better job. Although the motives were completely selfish, to get a rival out of the way, he's actually doing Jesus a favor. Unless Max is a worse boss than Fernando. Is that even possible though? Will Jesus accept the job if it means leaving his beloved Alma?
 

There are so many Jesus Garcias in the world/Mexico. How the heck did Rogue's crooked lawyer automatically assume it's the same Jesus Garcia that "betrayed" Yuri?
 

Good point.
 

Thank you, Cheryl. I loved your "Alma's dead to the world-- head" and "pantry---er, I mean garage" comments. I also loved the hokey cloud raining just on Jesús.
Since this telenovela is so silly anyway, I say let the sillness fly!

Seeing Chatita's chilaquiles made me think of my quest to match a plate of "mythic chilaquiles" I had in D.F. many years ago. As much as I have tried none have ever matched that plate. I will drop my food obsessions now and thank Pablo for his recipe and "women purr" remark.

Jarifa
 

Had fun with this recap Cheryl! Gees, these people are crazy.

I could do without the Snidely Whiplash antics of Fernando ( I mean, your mustache isn't even the right kind to be doing the side curling--guy can't do anything right). But he sure is having fun now I think in being able to drive big brother crazy versus just getting rid of Jesus.

What I could not abide last night was Vero's berating at Valentina. That was just sick! I so wanted Elias to walk in and see that. That all has to stop and fast--don't care how,why...just get it resolved. That darling does not deserve that and I hate seeing that type of plot line.

Have to say, Alma sure does hangover well. Hair perfect, makeup just so...she should bottle her secret for Avon. Make a fortune.

So how fast do we see Chucho get into a finance position with Max and start climbing the proverbial ladder? This is so going to backfire on Rog, we just know it. Poor boy is starting to look a little haggard; well, cute but still haggard.
 

Oh and Pablo--as I am now sitting here at work with my stomach growling looking at your recipe, gracias. Have to try that this weekend. Looks scrumptious.
 

Thanks.
Cantú es how they call ''al fulano'' and the note was for Malvino. I think.
 

Thank you thank you Cheryl. (For everything!)

Don't you love all the food porn in these things? We saw a ridiculous (but welcome) amount of Extreme Food Close-Ups during UFCS.

I wonder where Maricela's story is going. It seems a bit early in the story for her father to be having a crisis...
 

My Mexican family I stayed with while in Spanish school in Cuernavaca had the best meals ever. The Mom, Isabel made Chilaquiles that were divine. I wonder if I can recreate the recipe you have given us here Pablo. I will report back only if it goes well!

The delicious food episodes are reminiscent of UFCS but it is probably best that the other telenovelas with murder and mahem afoot don't dwell on food scenes.
 

Vivi, Thanks for catching the detail about Rogelio suggesting Don Max give Jesus a better job. I had several distractions while I was watching and typing away and missed that detail. Gee, I wonder if Max would be a worse boss with his explosive temper but then Fernando and Rogelio both explode with great regularity. It might be too much for Jesus to leave his beloved Alma and/or wear something other than the raspberry shirt with the iron burn hole in it. Jesus is so over the moon in love, he may prefer the torture of the Bros. Dimm.
However the previews showed Veronica doing her aha! moment when she catches him at the secretary desk. This woman is so obsessed with Jesus and it isn't all anger and hatred, there seems to be a sexual allure component that could lean to some silly jealousy scenes. I say bring it on!! I am having fun with the plot that even an Emilia fortified beanie can't make sane.
 

Thank you, Cheryl! Aaaaaahhhh! Hot kisses indeed! Alma was doing quite a bit of bending of the elbow but somehow I don't think she was totally oblivious of having hungrily devoured Chucho's lips last night: she just wanted to hear him tell it! Ow! You go girl! What a total gentleman! Chucho didn't try to cop a feel or a peek and he didn't fully pursue her kiss as he could have. Can't wait for the next romantic scene set-up and hope Alma is fully awake so she can see what a find Chucho is. Maybe with the awesome job he gets from Don Max he'll have enough social capital to give Rogue some real competition. (After giving him and Fern a much-needed arse-whoopin'). Thanks again, Cheryl!

Thanks, Cheryl! I had to run home and watch the epi on my lunch hour; couldn't wait.

Favorite lines not yet mentioned:

- she slides back into blissful slumber while he continues to deny and make Chuchoisms

- Veronica looks like she just swallowed a frog.

- We can’t imagine that Rogelio himself has put the name Jesus Garcia together in the two places where it matters.

Jajá, Vivi, this is the TNDF, remember -- one hospital, one restaurant, one Jesús García.
 

Oh, and Pati was really ON in the scene at Rog's place. I loved her hoisting up her assets and saying, "I have TWO ideas for how to distract you!" and then later, when Rog said about Jesús "me cae grande," she said, "Speaking of GRANDE...well, not so grande, actually." That girl slays me. She is so likable, she *must* end up with someone fun.
 

Blue- I laughed out loud when Pati said that. LOL!
 

Cheryl thanks so much for your recap. Though the magical realism was lame, Chucho's joy about getting another kiss was not.

If Rog fires Chucho, then the Chucho would have to get a new job. Otherwise he would stay w/his Alma and the Brothers Dimm.
 

Gracias Cheryl,

I was understanding that Rog was telling Max how great Jesus was so he would hire him away from Alma. Good opportunity for Jesus & he will show his worth.

I thought it was going to be a Singing in the Rain moment, then Realized FC doesn't dance except for a few little shuffles in the historical TN's.

I like him with his lines also, that botox was way too much in STuD. He was too thin also. Makes me so mad that the men can put it on & take it off in no time. Yáñez must have done that a dz times in FELS. Right now he looks a little overstuffed in AV, but just watch (if you can stand it) he'll slim down again.
 

I like the wrinkles, too. They give his face more character. Too smooth looks weird on a guy who isn't that young.

Rogue did talk up Heysoooos to Max, saying he's so great, but they just don't have any open positions for him at Avon. He wants to get rid of him without getting Alma mad at him. He doesn't mind if it works out well for Heysooos, as long as he is away from him and away from Alma and probably also Pati. I'm sure this will backfire, though. Even if he does go to work at the other place, there's no way Alma will just forget about him.
 

He is 47, but I thought he was playing a younger character, like 30 or something like that. In some scenes, like the intro where Alma kisses him on the cheek and everybody disappears he looks smoother, but sometimes the lines are just to big to overlook them...

 

According to Wiki, there are 4mil Garcias in Mex, comes in 2nd. Martinez is in 1st place with 5 1/2 mil.
Garcia is #8 in EEUU, & the most common Sp name. And of course Smith is # 1 in the EEUU.

I didn't get into 1st names but I would think Jose would be 1st. María y Jose
 

You think there are more Joses than Juans? I would have figured Juan would be #1.

I am trying to remember a name from MEPS. The bad guys got Gardenia and they wanted to know the name of some guy - she didn't want to give up his name - so she panicked and gave the first name that came to mind, which was "Jesus Jesus _____" and I cannot remember the last name. It wasn't Garcia, was it? Was it Hernandez or Fernandez? Something like that? Anybody remember?
 

Jesus Jesus Lopez. Never mind.
 

Ah Cheryl...another busy day, just getting to this but it was delightful. Some of my favorite lines:

"Bigger than life bra"

"has trouble letting go of his hurt ego"

"and the bitch is back with jet fuel in her orange juice".

Way to go! As for the episode, everything Patty does or says, plus those hot kisses.

VERY UPSET by the harsh way Vero spoke to Valentina. I just wanted to scoop the little girl up in my arms and spirit her away from that wench.

Question for Pablo:

Chucho was talking about his "sueños GUAJIROS" Can you help me with that second word? Muchas gracias. And your recipe for chilaquiles is killing me. I would love some but I'm serious about giving up cheese (I'm like a smoker...give it up, then lapse, give it up, then lapse) Your recipe is making me want to lapse big-time!
 

Thanks, Cheryl, for another delightful romp.

My favorite scene of course was watching Verónica doing her stretching... see why I'm smitten?

Loved Jesús' own personal storm. I reminded me of the poor character in Lil Abner who constantly had a little storm cloud overhead.
Poor Maricela seemed to have a similar visitation.

Julie, that would be Jesús Lopez. I took it on as my own personal expletive.

Carlos
 

JB:
The combination of fresh cheese and green salsa is unique, but you can omit it. It's still very good without it.

Un ''sueño guajiro'' is something you know you will never see come true. Something impossible.
 

Thanks Pablo, you always come through for me even though I'll be battling cheese cravings all day! You know and I know it's still super scrumptious better with that queso.
 

Hi Judy,

Looks like you and Verónica are having more and more in common. Don't you teach similar exercises? Your dietary preferences are very similar...and don't you like to go to bed early as well?
What are your thoughts on Purel?

Carlos
 

Hola, I just deleted a comment which although written in Spanish was mostly all advertisement. Looking at the profile of the blogger posting confirmed my opinion that this is a person who wants to use us to advertise unrelated things while throwing in a few telenovela catch words.
 

Thanks for catching that Cheryl. They did it yesterday on a few of the recaps and now again today.
 

Just saw it on AB.
 

Hi Carlos...well yes, we do yoga type stretches at the end of class, I go to bed ridiculously early (and get up at 5 am) dietary preferences similar. But don't use Purel.

I'm kind of in favor of dealing with friendly bacteria with good ol' soap and water. And heck, what's our immune system for if we don't give it a workout.

AND, I WOULD NEVER NEVER BREAK UP WITH A GUY WHO LOOKED LIKE JESUS GARCIA! (OR LIMIT ROMANTIC RENDEZVOUS TO ONCE A WEEK!)
 

Just caught up on the "vocal fry" posts from yesterday -- very interesting. It reminds me of something we used to call "Locust Valley Lockjaw" when I was in school.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locust_Valley_lockjaw
 

Judy,

"ROMANTIC RENDEZVOUS...ONCE A WEEK!"

Every week?

Yikes! I get exhausted just thinking about it.

Carlos
 

Carlos: you crack me up!
 

He's a rascal, isn't he Nanette? Such a guy.
