It's a little grill that was made for her by her husband who has a
welding shop. It's very handy for toasting little things.

It looks as if Doña Martha cooks about 10 times better in a quarter
the space.

Actually she has quite a lot of counter space in this kitchen. There
are some wider views of it in the Tamales story. This is not her
kitchen; it belongs to one of her grand daughters. She is living here
temporarily while her house is being remodeled. There is a picture
story of the remodeling unfolding on my website. There is also a
long, detailed picture story of the building of the house she is
living/cooking in now. Do a little exploring of the website; you may
