Jícama-Tortilla Salad With Peach Dressing
I once took my girls along with my parents to pick peaches. We left early morning and drove a few hours out to a nearby family farm. As we arrived I couldn’t help but think how my dad was going to handle this scenario. You see my dad, mi papi as much as I love him (adore him) has always been, continues to be strict with us kids. A father who can put you in place with a mere glare, that is my father. As we picked up our baskets I suggested the girls tag along with me and he could roam the area with my mom. He gave me a quick look from the corner of his eyes and informed me the girls were to go with him. Of course I said nothing, strict I tell you.
And believe me this Pequeña still fears her papi.
Off they went my 7 year old and 2 year old to pick peaches with papi. I lingered behind with my mom picking peaches with one eye and keeping the other on my father. I could hear my girls in the distant giggling, running through the trees, tossing peaches into the basket, examining bugs and asking papi millions of questions.. kids ask a lot of questions. Patiently he would answer, bend over to tie my youngest shoe laces and examine each peach before placing it into the basket.
Who was this man?
After a few hours I turned to my mom and asked, what the heck? Who is this man and where is my father? She laughed.
Ah Mija, he’s an abuelito now.
Funny how they change. I adore that man, love him!
