46 - Like Water For Chocolate by Laura Esquivel
It is so easy to hate some of the characters in this book, and we loved doing it. The story is lovely and a big thanks to our Patreon for choosing it for their Author Level Patreon benefit because this is also one of our favorite books of the season. This movie though, is something else. If you’ve ever wanted to see puffy sleeves and 80’s synth inserted into farm chore scenes, then this movie definitely has you covered. If any movie adaptation has deserved a reboot - it might be this one. #RebootsThatNeedToHappen
Episode Drink: Mexican Hot Chocolate
Instructions
To make hot chocolate, add all ingredients except for tequila to a small saucepan. Whisk to combine. Heat on low until mixture comes to a gentle boil, stirring. Remove from heat. Add tequila and whisk again. Divide into 3 mugs. Top each mug with 1-2 cinnamon marshmallows (instructions on site) or whipped cream.
