Pati, me ha dado un gusto enorme encontrarte en PBS. He vivido en este paÃs 14 años, aÃºn extraño lo variado de la comida mexicana, cocino lo que le gusta a mi familia y lo que sé, pero gracias a tus recetas podré seguir enseñÃ¡ndole a mis hijos toda la variedad de comida mexicana que existe. Lo que mÃ¡s me gusta de tu programa y tu blog es que las recetas son auténticas y no americanizadas. Quise escribirte en inglés, pero creo que es mÃ¡s apropiado hacerlo en español. Mucho éxito.

I think it was on your show that I saw an easy way to peel fresh whole green chilies. I don’t remember how and was wondering if you could share it with me again.
Thank you,
B.J.

I watched your show for the first time today, and it was extraordinary! Thank you for sharing your recipes and especially the Cafe de olla, I’ve been looking for a way to make it since I enjoyed it in New Mexico last spring. Thank you for sharing your culture and your wonderful cuisine.

Dolores, I can’t tell you how much your comment touched my heart. It is the best feeling to know that I am being welcomed into the homes of people that like what I like with this show! I am so excited that I was able to help stir some childhood memories. I hope you keep watching, and I hope the recipes continue to flood your memory with wonderful moments in time.

Oh dear Patti, you almost brought tears to my eyes. In this fast pace’d world, some of us forget of the little things that mean a lot. On one of my days off, I was surfing my tv, and there you were making (cafe de la olla!!!!!!!!. Oh my gosh! All sorts of child hood memories came into my head!Patti when we were growing up, my parents would send my sister and I to my abuelitos house in mexico for the summers. we would wake up to pots of (cafe de olla)everyday! At the time though not appreciating it. But I remember how penetrating the aroma was, that it would reach most of the bedrooms.This was a big ranch they had, many of my uncles worked the ranch,and this ritual would start at 4am.Her sons would come and pick up quart size looking containers,with homemade burritos,then go to work all day.when we’d wake up, abuelita would give us these little cups with cafe de olla,mostly with milk, but still tasting the richness of the coffee.I am now an adult,and had almost forgotten this taste, this aroma.Well now that I have your recipe,I make it at least 2 or 3 time a week. I take it to work once in awhile, and the workers really enjoy it. thank you patti for bringing our traditions back.

Ayer por primera vez vi tu programa (vivo en Waxahachie,Texas); quede fascinada con tu seguridad y “carisma” al explicar las recetas. ! Con que gusto nos explicate la diferencia entre los tipos de canela !! (a todo le pongo canela)…Gracias por mostrarnos la cara Linda de Mejico (soy venezolana), sus costumbres y “sabores” . Aprecio mucho el valor de nuestras tradiciones!!! Exitos, ya no te perderemos de vista!!

I will definitely be making this coffee when I go skiiing this winter. Or maybe this weekend, if I can’t wait that long. Congratulations on a wildly successful 2009. There is so much to look forward to in 2010, and so much to be thankful for, including you and the exciting flavors you bring to the year. Best wishes!
