Prepared meals & cooking lessons with Lucy

My family migrated to the US when I was a kid and I sadly didn't learn as much Spanish as I should have at home (my parents really wanted their kids to assimilate, etc). As an adult I've wanted to connect to that part of my background and improve my Spanish. Lucy has been the perfect fit for this because while I am an advanced speaker I am not quite fluent. Like many other teachers, she's a native speaker, but she's also very educated. So she has been able to really push me in all reading, writing, and conversation. We've been meeting remotely now. She's very good and patient, and also a very good, kind person.

We stumbled upon Lucy's prepared meals through a friend and holy crap, so glad she's in our lives now: better than any Mexican restaurant in the area (including top ones, I'm not kidding). When we were in Oaxaca for vacation last year I had an amazing mole. I mentioned it to Lucy and she was like "Oh yeah, I think I know the restaurant and the mole you're talking about, let me go find what I need for it in the morning". And lo and behold... her mole was otherworldly! I couldn't believe I could have it any day now. Next time she said she'd make something special for us. She came with chiles en nogada, this seasonal dish with poblano peppers, walnut sauce, and fresh pomegranate. I still fantasize about it, I can't wait for it to be in season again. Ever since we have her bring us a meal every week. Her food is great, absolutely worth it!
