Three-ingredient ice cream recipe instantly transports her 2,779 miles away

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:54:08 GMT

When I think about my mami, 2,779 miles away in Ecuador, the kitchen is the last place I imagine her. Her petite frame, dressed in elegant tailor-made suits and stiletto heels, has never screamed “homemaker.” Yet, one of her recipes managed to sneak into every important moment of our lives: homemade raspberry ice cream.Baking and cooking were not common activities in my home, but when I was assigned to bring a homemade dessert to school in seventh grade, mom had to find a way to make it happen.After getting home from work at 9 p.m., she decided to make a strawberry mousse, but Murphy’s law was at play: Everything that could go wrong, did. First, we didn’t have enough strawberries. We also only had evaporated milk, not the called-for heavy cream. And our rarely used mixer decided it was a great time to break down and constantly shut on and off.With time running out, we didn’t have many options. I turned to mom looking for an answer. Before I said a word, she replied, “Si no pasa nada...

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Lou and it's about winning on a scratch-off. Here's his email: Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I love listening to you every morning, and now I have a question of my own. So yesterday I bought a scratch off ticket while on my lunch break at work, something I do from time to time. I never won more than $5 bucks until yesterday I won $100 dollars. I cashed it in immediately and put it in my wallet and that was that. When I told my co-worker (who is a woman) that I won she asked me if I had called my wife to tell her and I said no, I didn’t even think it was something I would have to share with my wife. Well, my co-worker thought that was crazy and I have to tell my wife. She even insisted that I use the money to buy her something with my winnings. So, am I being dishonest by not telling my wife that I won a $100 dollar scratch off ticket? Does she need t...
