My favorite season is here, Christmas!!!!! And as such we have started up our decorations. It usually takes us a while to get everything up but that’s just because we have SO MUCH to decorate and with our schedule (school and Alan’s studying) we usually have a limited amount of time. One of the things [...]

And you ask…What does a Cuban-Rican Nochebuena look like?
Posted in Christmas, tagged Christmas, Nochebuena on December 29, 2008 | 3 Comments »
In all fairness, Cuban-Rican Christmas is sort of a misnomer – it only refers to the Nochebuena dinner. Como nadie se puede quedar fuera, least of all Alan, we have a Chilean lunch: Empanadas. That is the start of all our Nochebuenas since we’ve been married. We are a diverse bunch so we have to [...]
Cuban-Rican Christmas Part I
Posted in Christmas, Cuban, Recipes, tagged Flan de Queso on December 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Ahhh, Nochebuena is upon us. Although for us (Marisol and I) the work really starts the day before. Whether she is coming over, or we are going over there (this year they are coming over) there are things that always must be done in advance. No not the cleaning. The Flan de Queso, [...]
Holiday Decorating

I LOVE Christmas time. Ask anyone. I literally live for the crismases; I get it from Abuela. However, I will never understand why I never ever have the tree done before the 23rd. I should be one of those people whose tree is up right after Thanksgiving, yet I’m not. Buying and decorating the tree [...]

When we first moved to Rhode Island in 2004 we were really excited about the winters. Even though I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, and most of my family was from La Habana, I yearned to wear sweater, boots, gloves, hats and scarves. And of course, SNOW. Must be the 50% Galician in [...]
Rudolph the Red Nosed CR-V

I know it is corny as hell, but I couldn’t resist. Last year I saw many cars and SUVs outfitted with the red nose and antlers; I couldn’t find the kit anywhere then. So this year the second I saw the “Rudolph” kit, it only took one look at Alan and it was mine. I [...]
¿Coquito o Creme de Vie?
Posted in Christmas, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Recipes on December 18, 2008 | 10 Comments »
Revision: I forgot to tell you guys, that once it is done you can add nutmeg or cinnamon when you serve it. I can honestly say that in my house, we never had Creme de Vie. Mami never made it; neither did Abuela. Strange for a Cuban exile household if you ask me. In Puerto [...]
