外婆，好想多一些了解你

有外婆的夏天，格外像夏天，温和的胖老太太讲话轻声细语，走路没有声响，静静地在屋里削土豆、泡茶、剥豆子。我们一放暑假就扎堆儿去乡下。
早上外婆会叫我或我妹去摸几个鸡蛋，刚生的蛋还热热的。外婆常给我们做米酒蛋汤，一人一碗。现在看来，是难得的绿色无污染食品，怪不得我们家的人个个身体倍儿棒。
午后午休，她拿扇子给我们赶蚊子，怕吵醒我们，动作轻柔。我挨着她睡，她的皮肤松弛，好凉好舒服。外婆身上有种令人极度安心的味儿，可能来自棉布、花露水，或者烧饭的油烟。我问外婆，房顶上咚咚咚的是什么声音啊？她说：“是猫在跑呢，睡吧。”

厨房里用的词：
1. 削：削土豆皮，削苹果皮
2. 剥：剥花生，剥豆子，剥香蕉皮，剥桔子皮，剥大蒜皮，
3. 泡：泡茶，泡黄豆，把大米泡一下
4. 烧：烧饭；烧烤，烧茄子，红烧鱼，红烧肉
5. 汤：鸡汤，骨头汤，鸡蛋汤，米酒蛋汤，蔬菜汤
6. 油烟：做饭的时候油烟比较大；油烟机

Get ready for a special treat! In this episode, I talk with Terri Creeden, an Executive Coach, trainer, and facilitator. Terri is a Certified Daring Way Facilitator and Dare to Lead Facilitator through the Brené Brown Education and Research Group. During our conversation, we talk about how to get a job while being authentic and vulnerable. Here are some gems from this episode:

"The employer will be most impressed by an authentic person sitting in front of them and not somebody who has canned, formulated responses that they've heard from every other candidate. Let them see who you really are and not who they are hoping you are."

"Anytime we are caught up managing our image, how we look and appear, and come across to somebody else, that immediately takes us right out of authenticity. So you're moving further away from what's really going to win you that interview."

"What leaders really want to see is that they can trust somebody. If you aren't able to say, "I need help, or I can't do that, or I don't know how to do that," they're going to have trouble trusting you." 

Tune in to get more valuable insights from Terri, so you're well prepared for your next job interview! The second part of our conversation will be released in the next episode.

English Conversation/Dialogue

Where are you from?

Antes de casarse con Frida Kahlo en 1929, Diego Rivera contrajo nupcias con la novelista Guadalupe Marín en 1922. La recepción de la boda se llevó a cabo en el Café de Tacuba.

Entre los varios presidentes que solían comer en este gran restaurante, Porfirio Díaz es el más recordado. De igual forma, el compositor Agustín Lara gustaba de visitar el lugar y deleitarse con los riquísimos platillos de la cocina mexicana.

Un 25 de junio de 1936, un atacante entró al Café de Tacuba y le disparó al entonces gobernador de Veracruz, Manlio Fabio Altamirano Flores. El político se encontraba comiendo con su esposa, y poco sabía que esa iba a ser su última comida?

En 1978 se filmaron algunas escenas del filme Los hijos de Sánchez, una cinta que se basó en la novela de Oscar Lewis, The Children of Sanchez. Cabe aclarar, que el autor de este libro se inspiró en uno de los primeros empleados del Café de Tacuba para el personaje de Santos Hernández.

En 1999 un incendio quemó una buena parte del salón principal. Afortunadamente, las llamaradas solamente arrasaron con un poco del mobiliario y algunos objetos de decoración. La estructura del salón quedó intacta, gracias a la labor de los bomberos que llegaron al pronto rescate. Como agradecimiento, el restaurante los invitó a desayunar una vez que el Café de Tacuba volvió a abrir sus puertas.
