Funtura.

You know, I found myself asking my mom for,

for something very particular during this time in quarantine.

What do you have?

I said, mom, I really need you to send me

my abuelitas, consomere, boy, your recipe right now.

Yeah.

I was like, I need my grandmother's

consomere, boy, your recipe right now.

Oh my gosh, you know,

I've written about this.

I've written about the rituals of sickness

that a lot of Mexican and Mexican-American families have.

And whenever I'm sick, I always think of my abuelitas,

caldo de pollo.

I always think about like that to me is what healing tastes

and smells like.

It sucks right now,

because I really wish I could have some again.

I wish I could send it to you from Harlem to Brooklyn,

because I made some good caldo.

I swear, it was really, really good.
