It is getting close to Father\u2019s Day and, yes, I am thinking about mi padre<\/em>.<\/p>\n

My dad is not your typical guy. No, no, no.<\/p>\n

In order to prepare my sisters and me to start going out on dates, he wanted to teach us how to hold our liquor. Let no man ever get us drunk!<\/p>\n

He taught us how to play Backgammon. And cards. \u00a0And Dominoes and Blackjack and Rummikub and Crazy Dice.<\/p>\n

He taught me how a single taco, made with a fresh corn tortilla and a sprinkle of the right amount of salt, can be the best meal of your life.<\/p>\n

But, maybe most importantly of all, he taught me to get up no matter how many times life whirls you around and throws you down.<\/p>\n

A few years ago, he came to visit and stayed with my boys, while my husband and I went on a trip. After three nights away, I came back to find boys who knew how to play Backgammon, cards, Dominoes, Blackjack, Rummikub and Crazy Dice.<\/p>\n

And, also, boys who started swearing in Spanish at bad drivers (which I reversed right back!). He knew better than to teach them how to hold their liquor\u2026He knows that, just like him, I am an Aries who can show my temper. Or maybe he just didn’t have enough time.<\/p>\n

I know my dad would love to have these Tequileras on the Backgammon table. Or as he plays\u00a0cards, Dominoes, Blackjack, Rummikub or Crazy Dice.<\/p>\n

These Tequileras, as I baptized them, are a grown up sandwich cookie with deep chocolate flavored biscuits that aren\u2019t too sweet, and the gentle bitterness of the cocoa comes through the slightest bit. Between the two crunchy, chocolatey biscuits is a rich, sweet buttercream made sophisticated by a dash of orange tequila liquor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These cookies are sweet, complex, and full of life\u2026kind of like the guy I had in mind when I was creating them.<\/p>\n

One of hundreds of weekends I spent with my dad in Valle de Bravo, getting some serious Backgammon training!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This one is for you, Pa, I know you read all my blog posts by now.<\/p>\n
