This afternoon, as I finished my jamon y queso tostado, I was glancing at foodgawker.com (check it out!) and the waiter/manager/chef walked by and said "que rico" (how delicious). To which I responded, "Si, me gusta cocinar. Y esto ayuda encontrar..." "Yes, I like to cook and this helps me find recipes (which I didn't know the word for.)
We then discussed tamales and humitas and what the difference was. Turns out that tamales are made with maiz and humitas with choclo, which is I think like saying that tamales are made with corn meal or the type of corn that goes in corn meal and humitas are made with a sweeter fresh, corn on the cob.
After this conversation and a bit more he invited me to come back, when I want to come. Yup he invited me to the kitchen of his restaurant because I like to cook and because cooking is like medicine, it is very different to study it and read it, than it is to have someone show you.
