I got this idea from a mlm romance novel I read but hear me out:
Eddie stops by at Tia Pepa’s while Abuela is staying with her visiting LA. He just came by really quick to drop something off or maybe pick something up that he left there.
While he’s in the house, he can overhear Abuela on the phone with someone in the next room saying things like…
“Make sure you go down to that place on Century to get the masa harina not the stuff in the grocery store…”
And
“Let the mole simmer maybe 20 minutes?”
And
“This is why grandmothers always want their grandsons to marry someone nice. Someone to look after them and make them good food. They usually can’t do it for themselves. You’ll make him some nice tamales!”
And Eddie doesn’t think anything of it, probably just Abuela giving some young girl from church advice… until he gets home. Buck is in the kitchen with Chris and there’s tamales in a steamer basket and Eddie realizes Abuela was on the phone with Buck and she was telling him how to make tamales.
That’s when it hits him like a freight train.

Are you going to continue the soos/Stan tamale comic? I love father/son shit with Stan & Soos and I really want to reblog the whole thing uninterrupted on my blog. But if there is more to it coming I will happily wait until the whole thing is completed.
Oh that ones done. The part of them washing dishes together was the end of it. (Just to be 100% sure you've seen all of them, they go one, two, three, four, bonus)

just saw a guy on tiktok say "there's europeans afoot" when he sees someone posting pics of green bean casserole and I'm literally never going to be able to unhear that

I did not have time to make lunch this morning. Lucky for me the taco truck usually sets up in the corner across from work on Thursdays.

Nooooo!
Just got a call at work and the lady was like, "Helloooo. This is the tamale lady. Someone gave me your number?" And I talked to her for a minute but she's in a town 4 hours away so it was almost definitely a wrong number lol.
