My grandmother was preparing food, we were having empanadas tonight. Empanadas are basically pillows of fried dough stuffed with meat, they are usually associated with Spanish culture. I don't remember which culture because my grandfather from Cuba is familiar with them and my grandmother, who is half Puerto Rican Half-Dominican is also familiar with them.

Before there could be a giant argument, I finally spoke up. Explain to them that the Revolution was over in that America had one, but eventually England and America had settled their differences and we're now allies. The Founding Father seemed quite pleased with this, While Elizabeth was just silent. After dinner they all thank us for the meal, and walked out our front door, never to be seen
