The other day I wanted to know why it’s called a Bain Marie and well, you can choose your own adventure from there.

It’s just a layering task. Mandoline some yellow potatoes; butter the pan; then layer potatoes, comté, cream, thyme, and grated garlic. Bake for an hour in a Bain Marie.

They’re claiming that she had an encounter with CBP in October 2023 in Arizona and “claimed she was a citizen of Mexico”. That leads me to suspect you are correct.
