Lactose intolerance is not a mindset

Haha sooooo just to quiet the laughter from my family, NO WORRIES I’m doing justttttt finnneeee digesting my milk and ice cream.

On the other hand, we have recently “realized” that Hermana Wall has a bit of a “party” going on when theres too much leche going around Haha. The other day she looks up at me after a bit of milkshake eatn’ and says “so turns out… lactose intolerance is not a mindset”.
The next day after eating some nice pupusas from Hermana Perez she said for desert she had made us some Salvadranean quesadillas for us. When she brought it out they are more like the dense-st piece of corn bread you’ve ever seen in your life. It was about 5 lbs(no joke) and absolutely worth every ounce… well maybe for one of us at least.
I said “Hermana this is really good what’s in it??” After she named of 4 different cheeses and like 2 creams I looked at Hermana wall and said “pues… CHEERS!” she looked at me, muttered “mindset” under her breath and took a bite.

It satisfies me to say that we are both alive and now both happy!!
Ha this week was another good week here in east LA! Love you all and also since I haven’t done this in a while, your homework is to listen to the talk “Know yourself, control yourself, give thyself” by Paul H. Dunn in 1972! Hands down my favorite talk. Like legit. So .dang .good.
Love you all be safe!
Love rye

Small town girl. Lover of stories. Believer in God, family, America, and in finding beauty in both the past and the here and now. I grew up alongside my five siblings as our parents dreamed and worked and picked themselves up time and again while creating their small business . Interestingly, I married my high school sweetheart, who now co-owns his own small family business with his brother- the same business that he grew up in, working alongside his dad. We have five kids of our own (who are pretty cool, if I must say so myself), and both understand the grit and determination it takes to build our own dreams. I feel honored to share our story here and join my parents and brothers in their desire to create a welcoming, positive spot – where we can share stories and resources for those wanting to make memories with the people they love the most.
