My mother-in-law, Delphina, was doubled over in laughter, shaking her head at her friend Rosabel’s “ridiculous” confession: she didn’t know what paprika was made of. I smiled politely, spoon in hand, stirring the pot of chicken stew I’d been tasked with watching.

I kept nodding like I understood, while Delphina cackled and leaned back in her… CONTINUE READING…
