Today on the show I want to share with you my take on Lengua.

Not that many people, at least in America, are familiar with this tender type of meat. Especially on a taco.

Lengua translates to tongue. It's beef tongue. I'm going to tell you a little bit about this meat. I'm also going to tell you a bit about how this meat and the many steps to ultimately get it into a taco used to drive me nuts.

And how one day, that task went from dreaded to a moment which got me closer to my mother.

How on one ordinary day, I got to see a different side of her and how that experience later benefited my perspective about using laughter to make things go better.
