My independent, competitive spirit comes, in part, from my abuela. She was an exceptional cook who took in family from Mexico, but she also cracked blistering jokes and refused to let any of us beat her at Bingo. At age 6, I knew I had to bring it or I was losing to her at Blackjack (my abuelo taught the primos how to play and she won our candy.)
