Pati: AW, JUJU, WERE YOU DANCING?

EVERY NOW AND THEN, YOU JUST HAVE TO GIVE YOUR KIDS A DAY WHERE YOU SAY, "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO TODAY?"

Pati: AAH!

[LAUGHTER] 3!

WHENEVER I ASK THE BOYS WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, MOST OF THE TIMES IT'S MINIATURE GOLF.

Pati: THAT'S GOING IN!

WE LOVE MINI GOLF.

Sammy: WE PLAY, OH, SO MANY TIMES, AND IT'S CRAZY HOW MUCH MINI GOLF WE PLAY.

MINI GOLF, I'M GOOD AT.

Juju: 4... SEE, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.

WHEN I SAY THAT I'M GOOD AT SOMETHING, THEN IT GOES REALLY BAD.

AAH!

[GROWLS] Pati: THE BOYS CAN GET COMPETITIVE.

Sammy: NO.

YES, LIKE, HIT IT LIKE THAT.

YOU TOLD ME I COULDN'T!

Pati: SO, THIS IS ONE PLACE WHERE IT'S A LOT OF FUN BEING COMPETITIVE.

3!

IT'S LOOKING PRETTY CLOSE.

Pati: SAMMY'S DOING GOOD.

JUJU'S DOING GOOD, YOU'RE DOING GOOD.

I'M DOING SORT OF... NOT GOOD.

[LAUGHS] Pati: IT WAS FUN?

Sammy: YEAH.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO NEXT?

CREPES!

CREPES AGAIN?

YEAH.

FINE.

[LAUGHS] LET'S GO.

THE BOYS LOVE THE CREPE STAND.

Pati: WE GO TO THIS CREPE STAND... HI, GUYS.

AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.

WE'RE BACK HERE AGAIN.

THE MOMENT THEY SEE THEM, AND THEY'RE, "OH, TRIPLE CHOCOLATE FOR YOU, RIGHT?

WITH EXTRA, EXTRA, EXTRA CHOCOLATE."

I'LL HAVE A TRIPLE CHOCOLATE.

Pati: THE OWNER KNOWS JUJU.

HE COMES UP, BUT HE KNOWS I RECOGNIZE HIM, BECAUSE HE COMES HERE OFTEN, AND I KNOW ALREADY WHAT HE WOULD LIKE TO ORDER, BUT HE DOES ORDER HIS CREPE.

I'LL ALSO HAVE A TRIPLE CHOCOLATE.

I'LL HAVE A CHOCOLATE SPRITZ.

Pati: IT'S A NICE LITTLE THING TO HOLD THEM OVER, BECAUSE WE HAVE A GREAT FULL DAY OF COOKING.

[LAUGHS] Pati: OK, GUYS, DONE?

YOU WANT TO GO HOME AND COOK?

SURE.

OK, LET'S GO.

RITA!

THANK YOU.

THANKS!

BYE!

BYE-BYE, SWEETHEART.

IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE, SUCH A PERFECT DAY TO BE IN THE KITCHEN, COOKING.

I ASKED MY BOYS WHAT THEY WANTED ME TO MAKE, ANYTHING THEY WANTED, I GOT 3 BOYS, AND I GOT 3 ANSWERS.

SO, I'M STARTING WITH THE CHEESECAKE.

Pati: JUJU LOVES DESSERT, AND HE SUGGESTED A DULCE DE LECHE CHEESECAKE.

JUJU!

YOU'RE GOING TO HELP ME MAKE THE CHEESECAKE?

OK. LET'S START WITH THE CRUST.

WE NEED TO BREAK THESE COOKIES INTO THE FINEST OF CRUMBS.

HOW CAN WE DO THAT?

UH, I HAVE A SECRET.

YOU HAVE A SECRET?

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

I WAS JUST GOING TO PUT THEM IN THE BLENDER.

NO.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

WE'RE GOING TO PUT THEM IN THIS BAG AND SMASH THEM.

GREAT!

OK, I'LL HELP YOU.

YOU HAVE MY MEAT POUNDER.

YOU'RE GOING TO USE IT TO MASH THOSE COOKIES?

YEAH.

OK. DO YOU KNOW THE STORY OF THE MARIA COOKIES?

NO.

LIKE, IN THE 1800s, A LONG TIME AGO, THIS BEAUTIFUL DUCHESS, WHOSE NAME WAS MARIA, WAS GOING TO MARRY A DUKE FROM EDINBURGH, AND SOME BAKERS IN ENGLAND CREATED THAT COOKIE.

DID YOU SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS OUTSIDE?

SO, SOME ENGLISH BAKERS MADE IT FOR THAT WEDDING.

THEY BECAME THE RAGE IN EUROPE.

JUJU, DO YOU CARE ABOUT THE STORY OF THE MARIA COOKIES?

YEAH.

[LAUGHS] SO, DO YOU KNOW HOW THEY GOT TO MEXICO?

DID YOU KNOW THAT SPANISH PEOPLE RULED MEXICO FOR LIKE 3 CENTURIES?

YEAH.

SO, THEY BROUGHT THE COOKIES TO MEXICO, AND NOW IT'S-- GUYS, IT'S THE MOST EATEN, AND THE BIGGEST SELLER OF A COOKIE IN MEXICO.

WE USE IT FOR CHEESECAKE.

SO, JUJU, HOW ARE WE DOING THERE?

UH, FINE.

AND I HAVE SOME BUTTER, THAT'S 6 TABLESPOONS OF UNSALTED BUTTER THAT I ADDED HERE.

I'M GOING TO POUR IT IN HERE.

YOU WANT TO POUR IT IN HERE?

YEAH.

JUJU LIKES TO COOK SOLO, RIGHT?

YEAH.

I'M JUST ASSISTING HERE.

OK, DO YOU WANT TO MIX IT UP WITH THIS?

SURE.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE BETTER, TO COOK WITH ME, OR TO COOK ON YOUR OWN?

PROBABLY TO COOK ON MY OWN.

WHY?

HE LIKES TO COME UP WITH HIS OWN IDEAS.

SO, WE WERE THINKING WE WANTED TO MIX CAJETA, OR DULCE DE LECHE, WITH THE CHEESECAKE.

AND WE PLAYED WITH THE RECIPE A FEW TIMES, RIGHT, JUJU?

YEAH.

UNTIL WE GOT THIS ONE, AND I REALLY THINK WE NAILED IT.

SORRY, JUJU NAILED IT.

RIGHT?

I'M GOING TO PUT IT IN HERE.

YEAH.

SO, THAT'S ALL WE'RE DOING WITH THE CRUST.

IT'S JUST THOSE COOKIES AND THE BUTTER, YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING ELSE.

YOU DON'T NEED TO ADD SUGAR, BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY SWEET.

JUJU, NOW YOU HAVE TO POUND IT WITH YOUR HANDS.

OH, WITH THAT PART OF THE... YEAH.

PERFECT, OK. [SPEAKING SPANISH] LET'S PUT IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR.

OK. OK. CAN YOU REACH?

OF COURSE I CAN.

YAY.

NOW, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THE CHEESE LAYER OF THE CHEESECAKE.

JUST PUT THE--YEAH.

THE CREAM CHEESE IN THERE.

THIS IS ONE POUND OF CREAM CHEESE.

WE HAVE TWO 8-OUNCE BARS.

NOW, JUJU, HELP ME CRACK 3 EGGS IN HERE.

AND IF YOU BREAK IT AND A LITTLE SHELL COMES IN, IT'S OK, BECAUSE WE CAN SCOOP IT OUT.

HERE, YOU CAN PUT THE SHELLS HERE.

I DON'T HAVE A SHELL.

THAT WAS GOOD!

WE'RE GOING TO POUR SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK IN THERE.

THAT'S 1 14-OUNCE CAN.

DO YOU LIKE SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK?

YEAH.

HOW MUCH FROM 1 TO 10?

PROBABLY, LIKE, A 9.

9?

YEAH.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE 10?

WHAT IN THE WORLD DO YOU LIKE 10?

UH, PROBABLY BEANS AND RICE.

LET'S START SOFT, JUJU, TWO.

YEAH.

TWO.

TWO.

I THINK YOU CAN GO FOR A 4.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

A LITTLE MORE?

NO, THAT IS 7.

LET'S GO 8.

LET'S GO SUPER WILD!

THAT'S 9.

THAT'S SUPER WILD!

NOW, LET'S LET IT BEAT FOR, LIKE, 10 MISSISSIPPIS, GO!

1 MISSISSIPPI, 2 MISSISSIPPI, 3 MISSISSIPPI... 9 MISSISSIPPI, 10 MISSISSIPPI.

OK.

I'M GOING TO GET THE CRUST.

THE CRUST HAS COOLED AND HARDENED IN THE FRIDGE.

AH.

HOW'S THAT?

GOOD.

GOOD?

[LAUGHS] GREAT, OK. MMM!

[SPEAKING SPANISH] SO, HOW MANY LAYERS DO WE HAVE IN THERE?

TWO.

WE HAVE TWO... YEAH.

AND THERE'S A THIRD ONE THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED, SO, BEFORE WE PUT THAT IN THE OVEN, I WANT YOU TO HELP ME MIX IT.

[SPEAKING SPANISH] WHAT'S THIS?

UH, I FORGET.

CAJETA.

OH, YEAH, THIS WOULD BE A 10.

THIS WOULD BE A 10?

YEAH, THIS WOULD.

SO, NOW WE'RE MIXING THE CAJETA WITH SOUR CREAM, AND IT IS SO PUNCHY AND DELICIOUS, AND IT IS SO FUN TO EAT IT.

JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE IT READY FOR YOU.

OK, JUJU.

[SPEAKS SPANISH] GO, MIX IT.

[SPEAKING SPANISH] OK, SO, I'M GOING TO PUT THIS CHEESECAKE IN THE OVEN AT 350, AND IT'S GOING TO GO IN THERE FOR, LIKE, 30 MINUTES.

SHOULD I SET THE TIMER?

YES, PLEASE, JUJU!

HOW LONG, 30 OR 35?

SET IT FOR 35, GO GET YOUR BROTHERS.

WHEN THAT TIMER... AFTER 35?

AFTER 35, WHEN IT RINGS, COME GET ME.

AND YOUR BROTHERS.

YES, MM-HMM.

OK, SO, WHILE HE IS OVER THERE, AND BEFORE THE TIMER RINGS, LET'S MAKE SOME ALPHABET SOUP.

Pati: I KNEW EVEN BEFORE I ASKED, ALAN WOULD REQUEST ALPHABET SOUP.

ALAN LOVES THIS SOUP.

MY BOYS HAVE BEEN EATING IT SINCE THEY WERE VERY LITTLE.

SUPER SIMPLE TO MAKE.

I'M JUST ADDING ABOUT 3 TABLESPOONS OF OIL, AND THEN YOU CAN CHOOSE WHATEVER PASTA YOU HAVE.

WE CALL IT ALPHABET SOUP BECAUSE WE MAKE IT A LOT WITH ALPHABET-SHAPED PASTA, BUT IF YOU FIND-- WHATEVER'S FUN, LITTLE STARTS, LITTLE LETTERS.

SOMETIMES I WILL USE ANGEL HAIR PASTA, AND CRUMBLE IT INTO PIECES.

SO, I'M ADDING IT IN THE PAN.

THIS IS ONE HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR TYPICAL PASTA SOUP AND MEXICAN-STYLE PASTA SOUP.

YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO?

WE FRY THE PASTA FIRST.

IN JUST A LITTLE BIT OF OIL, JUST A LITTLE BIT, AND IT ADDS ANOTHER LAYER OF FLAVOR, SO YOU'RE TRANSFORMING THE PASTA.

SINCE THE MOMENT YOU'RE STARTING, YOU'RE TOASTING IT.

AND I CAN SMELL IT.

IT'S STARTING TO SMELL LIKE TOAST.

YOU CAN SEE HOW IT'S CHANGING.

INSTEAD OF GOING TO A BROWN, IT STARTS GOING TO, LIKE, A TOASTY WHITE, AND THEN A LITTLE BIT BROWN.

THE MORE YOU BROWN IT, THE DEEPER AND STRONGER THAT TOASTY LAYER OF FLAVOR WILL BE, BUT IT IS REALLY DELICIOUS.

AND THEN, I HAVE... SUPER RIPE TOMATOES IN HERE.

AND YOU WANT TO HAVE, FOR THIS AMOUNT OF PASTA, WHICH WAS, LIKE, TWO CUPS, YOU WANT, LIKE, 1 1/2.

LOOK AT THE TOMATOES!

LOOK AT THE TOMATOES, THEY'RE STUNNING!

I CAN JUST SEE THE JUICE COMING OUT OF THEM.

IT'S THE AGE.

I GET LOST A LITTLE.

I WAS SAYING, YOU HAVE, LIKE, TWO CUPS OF PASTA, YOU WANT, LIKE, 1 1/2 POUNDS OF TOMATOES, WHICH MAKES IT, LIKE, 3 OF THESE TOMATOES, OR 4 OR 5 OF THE ROMA TOMATOES IF YOU'RE USING THOSE.

EVERYTHING GOES IN THERE.

I'M ADDING ONE GARLIC CLOVE.

JUST ONE, THAT'S ALL YOU NEED, AND THEN, I'M ADDING JUST A SLICE OF ONION.

AND THEN, WAIT.

YOU CAN SEE IT'S SHINY, AND BROWNING, AND BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S TASTY ALREADY.

OK, SO, I'M PUREEING THESE.

UNTIL COMPLETELY SMOOTH.

YOU NOTICE WHAT I'M DOING.

YOU KNOW, WOMEN LIKE TO MULTITASK.

I WAS HAVING ONE HAND IN HERE AND ONE HAND IN THERE.

IT MAKES US FEEL USEFUL.

OK, SO, I'M POURING THE TOMATO PUREE IN HERE, RIGHT IN THERE.

THE POT IS HOT, IT HAS A LITTLE BIT OF OIL, IT'S GOING TO SPLATTER, IT'S GOING TO BUBBLE, IT'S GOING TO SMOKE.

[SIZZLING] SOUP IS PERFECT FOR A RAINY DAY, IT IS SO COMFORTING.

THE TOMATO SAUCE IN HERE IS THICKENING, IT'S DEEPENING ITS COLORS.

YOU DON'T WANT TO ADD ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL THIS TOMATO PUREE GOES FROM THAT RAW, SORT OF SHY RED TO THIS DEEP RED THAT HAS A MORE FALL-LIKE COLOR.

THAT MEANS IT'S GOING TO HAVE MORE DEPTH, MORE FLAVOR, MORE TONE, AND YOU CAN SEE IT.

ADD A LITTLE BIT OF SALT.

I'M ADDING A LITTLE BIT OF PEPPER.

OK, LOOK AT THE COLOR.

THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT IN THERE.

SO, ALL OF THAT FLAVOR HAS GONE IN THE PASTA.

AND NOW, IT'S READY FOR THE BROTH.

AND I'M JUST ADDING CHICKEN BROTH.

YOU WANT TO MAKE IT VEGETARIAN, USE VEGGIE BROTH.

I'M GOING TO GIVE IT A GOOD STIR.

IN 15 MINUTES, THIS IS GOING TO BE THE TASTIEST PASTA SOUP.

MOLLETES ARE A REAL CROWD-PLEASER, ESPECIALLY FOR SAMMY.

I GOT SOME CRUSTY BREAD, AND WE'RE GOING TO MAKE MOLLETES.

MOLLETES ARE, LIKE... GRILLED CHEESE AND BEAN HEROES.

[BELL RINGS] MOM, THE TIMER WENT OFF.

[SPEAKING SPANISH] THANK YOU, OYE...

CALL SAMMY, TELL HIM TO COME.

HE'S GOING TO HELP ME MAKE SOME MOLLETES.

I'M GOING TO GET THAT CHEESECAKE OUT OF THE OVEN RIGHT NOW.

OK. GRACIAS, BABY.

OK. MMM, LOOK AT THIS.

SUPER, SUPER FLUFFY.

LOOKS INCREDIBLE.

I'M GOING TO LET IT COOL, BECAUSE THE NEXT LAYER THAT GOES ON TOP IS THAT MIX OF DULCE DE LECHE, CAJETA, SOUR CREAM.

IF I ADD IT IN NOW, IT'S GOING TO MELT, SO, I'M JUST GOING TO LET IT COOL.

I'M GOING TO MAKE SOME MOLLETES, WHICH MY BOYS LOVE.

SAMMY, HELP ME OUT, BABY.

[SPEAKING SPANISH] OK. CAN YOU HELP ME GRATE SOME CHEESE?

SURE.

I HAVE MOZZARELLA.

MASTER GRATER.

OK, SO, I HAVE SOME CRUSTY BREAD.

YOU CAN USE ANY CRUSTY BREAD THAT YOU LIKE.

YOU CAN USE BOLILLOS, OR TELERAS, WHICH ARE THE SMALLER BAGUETTE-STYLED BREAD, BUT IF YOU FIND BAGUETTE IT'S PERFECTLY FINE.

[SPEAKING SPANISH] YEAH.

DO YOU LIKE THE CORNERS?

SHOULD I LEAVE THE CORNERS?

YOU CAN TAKE THEM OUT.

[LAUGHS] HE'S VERY POLITE, HE HATES THE CORNERS.

I LOVE THE CORNERS.

I'M KEEPING THE CORNERS TO MYSELF, OK. JUST GOING TO SLICE THIS BAGUETTE.

THIS IS LIKE INDIVIDUAL SIZES.

THEN, I HAVE REFRIED BEANS.

HOW MANY TIMES DO WE EAT BEANS?

YOU TELL THEM.

6 DAYS.

[LAUGHS] WE DO... WE DO EAT, LIKE, 6 DAYS A WEEK, BECAUSE THE SEVENTH WE USUALLY GO OUT, RIGHT?

MM-HMM.

SAMMY, HELP ME WITH THESE, I'LL TRADE YOU, OK?

OOH, THAT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF CHEESE, THAT'S PERFECT.

SO, I'M GOING TO START ADDING SOME CHEESE HERE.

SAMMY, HOW MUCH?

YOU TELL ME.

A LOT.

A LOT?

YEAH.

SAMMY, WANT TO HELP ME WITH THE CHEESE?

SURE.

I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU GUYS MORE OFTEN, BECAUSE I'M ASKING MY BOYS TO DO THINGS, AND THEY'RE SAYING YES TO EVERYTHING!

WE HAVE TWO MORE TO GO.

YOU WANT TO CALL ALAN AND JUJU?

SURE.

AND WE'LL EAT?

HE'S VERY POLITE, YEAH?

OK, IN THE OVEN THEY GO.

AT 350 AGAIN.

I'M GOING TO MAKE A SUPER QUICK PICO DE GALLO FOR THOSE MOLLETES.

AND WHAT A PICO DE GALLO IS IS NOTHING BUT A RAW AND CHUNKY SALSA.

I'VE BEEN ASKED MANY, MANY TIMES WHERE DOES THE NAME PICO DE GALLO COME FROM, BECAUSE PICO DE GALLO TRANSLATES TO ROOSTER'S BEAK.

NOBODY KNOWS WHERE IT COMES FROM.

DON'T LET ANYBODY TELL YOU THAT THEY KNOW WHERE THEY COME FROM, BECAUSE NOBODY KNOWS.

EVERYBODY HAS A THEORY.

THE TRUTH IS THAT IT IS THE NAME THAT EMBODIES THE RAW AND CHUNKY SALSAS OF MEXICO.

I HAVE A FRIEND THAT MAKES A PICO, AND HE ADDS PINEAPPLE.

SOMETIMES HE ADDS APRICOT OR PEACH IT'S DELICIOUS!

WHAT ALL OF THE PICO GALLOS HAVE IN COMMON IS THAT THEY ALL HAVE ONE OR ANOTHER KIND OF A CHILE, BE IT FRESH OR DRIED, AND THEY ALL HAVE RAW INGREDIENTS.

YOU CAN BUY PICO DE GALLO IN THE STORE, BUT HOW SILLY, CRAZY, EASY IS THIS?

I MEAN, I'M JUST CHOPPING UP SOME TOMATOES, AND THEN I'M CHOPPING SOME CILANTRO.

IT SMELLS SO FRESH.

I HAVE A SERRANO.

I'M TAKING OFF THE SEEDS.

JUJU LOVES CHILE, AND HE LOVES THE HEAT, BUT ALAN AND SAMMY ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE GRINGOS, YOU KNOW?

NOT SO CRAZY ABOUT THE HEAT, SO...

I'M JUST LEAVING ON A LITTLE BIT OF HEAT, JUST A TEASE OF HEAT.

HERE IT GOES.

WHITE ONIONS.

THESE ARE THE ONIONS THAT ARE MOST USED IN MEXICO.

JUST A LITTLE BIT.

I'M ADDING A LITTLE BIT OF SALT...

SOME LIME JUICE, OK. AND YOU CAN EVEN HEAR THAT JUICE COME OUT, SEE?

I'M ADDING JUST A LITTLE BIT OF OLIVE OIL.

YOU CAN ADD IT, OR YOU CAN SKIP IT, UP TO YOU.

AND THAT'S YOUR PICO.

IF YOU LET IT SIT AND MACERATE FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES IT WILL GET EVEN BETTER, AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

I THINK THE MOLLETES ARE READY.

LET ME GET THEM OUT.

OOH, PERFECT!

PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT!

SO NICE AND TOASTY ON THE SIDES, AND IN THE BOTTOM IT'S NICE AND CRISP.

I HAVE THE OVEN ON, I'M GOING TO ADD THE LAST LAYER TO MY CHEESECAKE.

AND HERE I HAVE THE CAJETA OR DULCE DE LECHE MIXED WITH THE SOUR CREAM.

I'M GOING TO ADD IT ON THE TOP.

THIS IS GOING TO BE AN EXTRA LAYER.

AND I'M GOING TO ADD SOME CHOPPED PECANS, JUST AROUND, JUST TO DECORATE.

JUJU'S NOT CRAZY ABOUT THE PECANS, SO, HE CAN HAVE THE WHOLE CENTER OF THE CAKE.

HOW ABOUT THAT?

NOW, I'M PUTTING IT BACK IN THE OVEN.

THERE IT GOES.

NOW I'M JUST GOING TO CLEAN UP AND CALL THE BOYS.

HELLO, AND WELCOME TO "THE JUJU SHOW."

HELLO, I AM PATI JINICH.

SO, JUJU'S GOING TO BE LIKE MY MOM, AND ALAN MOVES JUJU'S HANDS AROUND.

JUJU REALLY LOVES MAKING MEXICAN-STYLE FISH.

THE BOYS LOVE MAKING FUN OF MY ACCENT.

EVERY TIME I TALK, ANYTHING I SAY, "MA, IT'S NOT FEESH, IT'S FISH."

LIKE, INSTEAD OF SAYING, "KNOWLEDGE," SHE SAYS, "NO-LEDGE."

I NEED TO GO GET MY KNIFE.

[LAUGHTER] I GOT MY KNIFE.

FIRST, YOU CUT OFF THE HEAD.

[LAUGHS] Pati: WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?

ARE YOU DOING "THE JUJU SHOW" WITH ME?

AAH, SPICY!

HA HA HA!

WAIT, WAIT.

HA HA HA!

COME ON, THE MOLLETES ARE READY, OK?

HERE IS THE FISH.

STOP IT WITH THE FISH!

Pati: THE SOUP IS READY TO EAT, AND SO ARE MY BOYS.

YOU WANT SOUP?

THIS IS FOR SAMMY.

HOW'S THE SOUP?

GOOD.

HMM?

YOU LIKE THAT LITTLE SHAPE I DID TODAY?

DO YOU LIKE IT MORE WITH ALPHABET SHAPE OR STAR SHAPE?

ALPHABET.

IT TASTES THE SAME.

YEAH, ALPHABET.

ALPHABET?

I COULDN'T FIND ALPHABET-SHAPED PASTA, SO I USED...

THIS JUST LOOKS LIKE Os.

THESE LOOK LIKE ONLY Os.

EXACTLY, WE GOT Os TODAY.

[SPEAKING SPANISH] YOU WANT THIS ONE?

OK, YOU TELL ME WHEN TO STOP.

TELL ME WHEN TO STOP.

STOP.

OK.

SO, TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE SALSA, JUJU.

YOU HAVE THE CRISPY MOLLETE, AND THEN THE SALSA.

IT STARTS MAKING THE MOLLETES MOIST, WITH THAT, LIKE, LEMONY TASTE OF THE SAUCE, IT'S REALLY GOOD.

OH, MY GOD, I CAN HEAR THOSE CRUNCHES.

THIS IS SUPER EASY TO MAKE, AND YOU CAN PLEASE ANYONE IN YOUR FAMILY, BECAUSE THE BASE, EVERYBODY LOVES.

WHO DOESN'T LIKE BREAD?

WHO DOESN'T LIKE BEANS?

WHO DOESN'T LIKE CHEESE?

WOULD THIS BE GOOD FOR BREAKFAST?

YEAH.

WHAT ABOUT LUNCH?

YEAH.

WHAT ABOUT DINNER?

MAYBE.

YEAH, YEAH, IT'S GOOD.

ANYTIME.

MMM.

GUYS, WE ALSO HAVE DESSERT.

TAKE A LOOK AT THAT!

IT'S MY MASTERPIECE.

IT IS YOUR MASTERPIECE.

LOOK AT THAT, IN THE BOTTOM IT HAS THE CRACKER.

YOU CAN SEE THE CRACKER, AND THEN THE CHEESECAKE, AND THEN THAT CAJETA LAYER.

[SPEAKING SPANISH] Alan: YEAH, LIKE, A LITTLE... LIKE A SLIVER?

YEAH.

[SPEAKING SPANISH] Sammy: YEAH, I'LL HAVE A SLIVER.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IT'S GOOD.

[LAUGHS] [SPEAKING SPANISH] IT'S HOW GOOD?

I WANT TO THINK WITH MY JUDGES.

OH.

HA HA HA!

OK. [WHISPERING] ME AND MY JUDGE THINK IT WOULD BE AN 11.

OH, MY GOSH!

REALLY?

GIVE ME A HIGH-5.

GIVE ME A HIGH-5.

OK, HERE, JUDGES.

OK, NOW I WANT TO TRY.

I'M GOING TO TASTE IF IT'S REALLY AN 11.

FROM 1 TO 21, WHAT IS IT?

REMEMBER THAT NUMBER PAPI SHOWED US THAT WAS BIGGER THAN THE UNIVERSE AND BIGGER THAN INFINITUM?

GOOGOLPLEX!

GOOGOLPLEX.

[LAUGHTER] I'M GIVING THIS CHEESECAKE A GOOGOLPLEX.

Juju: GOOGOLPLEX.

INFINITUM.
