We Love The Jerks / Amamos A Los Idiotas

La versión español está después de la versión inglés.

SAN GERALDO OFFERED to cook a pot of chili Sunday that we would take to Pedro and Kathleen's for dinner, after which we would play some cards. It makes for a relaxing evening. Two-year old Luke doesn't have to be on "restaurant behavior" and he can go to sleep at a normal time.

But that evening, Kathleen texted to warn us that Luke had a fever. San Geraldo didn't want to catch anything and I'm feeling like my resistance might be a bit week after the few months I've had, so we decided to reschedule.

Pedro had made tiramisú for dessert, and they said they felt just awful about not being able to share it with us. You can tell in the photos just how awful they felt.

The jerks.

SAN GERALDO OFRECÍO cocinar una olla de chili con carne el domingo que llevaríamos a la casa de Pedro y Kathleen para cenar, después de lo cual jugaríamos a las cartas. Lo convierte en una noche relajante. Luke, de dos años, no tiene que estar en "comportamiento de restaurante" y él puede irse a dormir temprano. 

Pero esa noche, Kathleen me envió un mensaje para advertirnos que Luke tenía fiebre. San Geraldo no quería atrapar nada y siento que mi resistencia podría ser un poco la semana después de los pocos meses que he tenido, así que decidimos reprogramar.

Pedro había preparado tiramisú para el postre, y dijeron que se sentían muy mal por no poder compartirlo. Puedes ver en las fotos qué tan horribles se sintieron.

Los idiotas.




BUT WE HAD THE CHILI, WHICH TASTES EXACTLY LIKE TIRAMISÚ. IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES.
PERO TENÍAMOS EL CHILI CON CARNE, QUE SABE EXACTAMENTE COMO EL TIRAMISÚ. SI CIERRAS LOS OJOS.

      They're a couple of smart asses. But they deserved to enjoy the tiramisú. Luke kept them busy all night and all the next day.

  3. I still will never understand why one of the hottest dishes to be ever served (along with the peppers) has chill in the name.

      Ha! It's for the chili peppers (or chili powder) in the recipe. Chili con Carne, Chili Peppers with Meat.

  4. I can tell that Pedro is broken-hearted to be faced with all that tiramisu on his own. So sad. Hope everybody gets healthy soon.

      Poor Pedro and Kathleen. But Luke really put them through the ringer all night and the next day. They deserved the tiramisú.

  5. Of course it does taste the same ~ NOT!!!!!!!
    Oh what a wonderful night of chili & tiramisu, albeit eaten in separate residences.
    Next time for sure!

      Luke was miserable all night, so they wouldn't have been able to relax anyway. So, I suppose we got the better deal. Delicious chili without an ailing 2-year-old.

  8. For some reason I am having a heck of a time getting comments published!
    Too bad you missed out on your dinner with your friends but better to play it safe.
    The chili looks delicious!

      So hard to figure out blogspot and internet issues sometimes. Yes, we really missed out on good company, but they were tied up with Luke for the next 24 hours.

  9. Ha! I love their expressions! Particularly Pedro's. That tiramisu looks awesome, but not worth getting sick over. Unless that sickness is just a result of eating too much tiramisu.

      Pedro does look sincerely distraught that he has to eat it all, doesn't he?

      Jerry makes a delicious version of the chili. He bought a new (to him) chili powder last month. It burned our mouths the first time he made chili with it. This time, he used only one teaspoon and it was STILL on the hot side. But so good.
