*****************************

My employers asked me to make mole out of two young turkeys, but I felt terrible about killing them; I give heartfelt thanks to San Pascualito that I managed to convince them to cook something else. They even gave the birds to me—which makes me very happy—so I took them home to my little house. Dorotea Ruiz, Oaxaca.
