Join Me for a Bowl of Menudo Anyone?
When Mom was still with us, she would make that stuff for Dad, and bless her heart would take hours preping it. Why so long, because as has been said, it does not have a pleasant smell, so she would spend tons of time cleaning it before cooking to include scraping away with a broad side knife, scrubbing with a green and even stainless steel scouring pad. Believe it or not, our home smelled fine thanks to her efforts.
Needless to say, I have come to realize we were very spoiled, R.I.P. Moms.
