Reality Bites, Just Not Mexican Cuisine.

Earlier today, I took an 8 hour take home exam. Lame, I know. In order to recover I needed a minimally taxing mental activity. Napping was out of the question because I was too wired - so I decided to watch an old episode of the Real Housewives of Orange County (or Orange Cunty as I like to refer to it). 


Anyway, a bunch of random stuff happened in the episode but frankly I can't recall any of it. Save this: Peggy, the show's newest housewife, and her husband Micah were putting together their annual dinner party. Peggy was super excited because they hired "celebrity chef" Susan Feniger to cater the dinner. I've never heard of her but apparently her claim to fame is appearing on Top Chef Masters and owning Border Grill. 


Okay so here goes - after scheduling a meeting with Susan at the Border Grill - Peggy and Micah were shocked (SHOCKED!) to discover Susan specializes in Mexican Cuisine! Pendejos. Micah was especially upset. He said he didn't think Mexican food was "fancy" enough for his dinner party. This bitch. He even had the fuckin nerve to say that he did not like flan and then proceeded to ask Susie if she could serve fried oreos instead. Oh, okay fried oreos are fancy, now? Sorry, I must have missed that memo. WTF?! I cannot.

Here is a picture of them being all pendejo n shit:

Obviously, Micah has never seen Como Agua Para Chocolate. You know the scene where Tita makes Codornices en Pétalos de Rosas:




Shit does not get fancier than this: Cornish Game Hen on a Bed of Roses. 


On her blog Peggy tried to defend her pendejo-ass husband by writing: 
"Micah loves Mexican food and eats chips and salsa daily.... But for our chef's dinner we usually like to serve more formal cuisine with high end wine pairings. For this reason, we were both initially having a tough time envisioning eating tacos while drinking Silver Oak wine! "
Half-ass apologizing while perpetuating racial stereotypes - well done mijita.  You go gurl, make Orange Cunty proud.




I promise to post a recipe for lame-ass flan soon ;)
