After a long and bumpy bus ride during which we were awakened (I’m not sure I was even asleep) due to two missing purses (not ours, but the woman behind and the woman beside us – possible attempts at ours, but failed) we arrived in San Gil. What brought us to San Gil? Mostly the [...]

Ahh, soup. We went to the market the other day, in San Augustine, planning to make some spinach thing. First challenge: the word for market, at least in this particular town, was not mercado. So when we asked for markets we were instead dropped at a minimarket type corner store. I asked a woman on [...]

When we arrived on the farm, La Finca de Tina, aka Neverland, (in the Spanish version of Peter Pan Never Land is el pais de Nunca Jamas, the land or country of Never Ever) Tina was out of town. Well, in a town to be correct, but a town far far away. In the USA, [...]

I got his recipe while desperately calling friends in the midst of preparing a dinner where the mayonnaise just wouldn´t thicken. This is the supposedly fail proof method, and did result in a beautiful mayonnaise until the addition of 2 cloves of garlic when it completely separated. In fact, so far I have yet to find a recipe that [...]

The first time I watched mayonnaise being made I didn´t pay much attention, though I thoroughly enjoyed the result. It was a decision that I later regretted as I attempted my to make my own. Recently however, after a little begging I got the recipe. Here it is, as told to me; Take 2 or 3 raw egg [...]
The Last Supper

That I get to cook at home, that is. Well, it happened last night. We were all set to have lasagna, which my momma had made and was awaiting us in the freezer. Apparently my bro had been begging for lasagna for weeks so my request to make my own recipe thwarted his plans. But [...]
