Cocinando con la Abuela

GRANDMA: Let's see, sweetie, pass me the onion. The purple one. GRANDDAUGHTER: This one, grandma? GRANDMA: That's the one. Now we chop it really fine. Watch how I do it. GRANDDAUGHTER: And why do we cry when we cut onions? GRANDMA: Oh, that's because onions have some chemicals that... Well, I don't really know. But that's what gives ceviche its flavor. GRANDDAUGHTER: Grandma, is my dad's ceviche as good as yours? GRANDMA: Your dad cooks well... but he lacks seasoning. Don't tell him I said that. GRANDDAUGHTER: Grandma! GRANDMA: Now, the most important thing: the lime. It has to be freshly squeezed. None of that bottled stuff. GRANDDAUGHTER: And how many limes do we use? GRANDMA: It depends on the fish, sweetie. You have to taste it. Cooking is love, but it's also science. GRANDDAUGHTER: When I grow up, I want to cook like you. GRANDMA: Oh, my love... You already cook better than me. You just don't know it yet.
