It’s been quite the quiet pregnancy, cannot complain. We are getting closer to our due date of August 25th, but both Alan and I, and my Mom, think I will be early – just not clear on how early. Were you early or late on your first pregnancy? As you know, we have no clue [...]

I’ve been keeping a Secret
Posted in Adriana, Alan, Family, Our Story, tagged Adriana, Alan, Family, Our Story, Us on April 14, 2011 | 10 Comments »
I’ve been quiet for a while and there has been a reason. Well, there have actually been may reasons but mostly I really haven’t been cooking much and I’ve been keeping a secret. And the secret I’ve been keeping is the main reason why I really haven’t been cooking that much; that together with my [...]
40?? Really??
Posted in Adriana, Birthdays on October 15, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Today is my 40th birthday and I can hardly belie it. Where has time gone? I remember so vividly being a Senior in high school and our amazement at the fact we would be 30 when the new millenium arrived….and here we are now at 40. I gotta admit I don’t feel any different from [...]
Papi’s Anniversary
Posted in Papi, Puerto Rico, Trips, tagged Papi on September 22, 2010 | 2 Comments »
It’s hard to believe it will be 4 years. It just doesn’t seem like it’s been that long and at the same time it feels like it’s been forever. Four years ago today, Papi was still alive. And at some point between today and tomorrow (we believe night time) he passed away and forever changed [...]
Cuban Home Economics
Posted in Adriana, Our Story, tagged Adriana, Alan, Cuban Upbringing, Our Story on September 15, 2010 | 1 Comment »
My friend Marta has two great posts on how Cuban girls get groomed to be the Perfect Cuban Wife (PCW) through intense training on Cuban Home Ec. So, it got me thinking about my own Cuban upbringing, and how I’ve supplemented or added to it, through the years. I graduated with HONORS from the Cooking [...]
Finally, I graduated

Last Saturday May 22, I was officially conferred my Doctorate by the University of Rhode Island. Even though it’s been almost a year since I defended my dissertation, I was really looking forward to the graduation ceremony (and also to being back in RI). Unfortunately no one in my family came. Well, I lie. My [...]

Healthy Eating

As we plan to get pregnant soon, and I have some pounds to lose (keep your eye out for The Biggest Loser Lambie edition), I’m also taking a second look at the way we eat. I get bombarded (a good thing) on a daily basis by ex-schoolmate Laura Posada who pretty much leads a one [...]
Back in Time

I’m not much for Halloween. I did the usual as a kid, you know the trick or treat, but I wasn’t really big on decorations or costumes. Probably still traumatized by the time my parents and grandparents thought it would be a good idea to have a Haunted House for my birthday. You see I [...]
I’m Baaaaaack!

Hello world!!!! Greetings from Rochester, NY! Sorry for the extended absence, but the quarter system hit me like a ton of bricks and I’m just coming up for air. Unfortunately, to get things going in our new home and my new job, I was forced to neglect my blogging duties. But fear not, you have [...]
