Happy 4th of July!

As I sit here working on my dissertation from an undisclosed location, ready to do revisions in a 4th of July atmosphere, I want to wish you all a VERY Happy 4th of July! Enjoy the fireworks, the parades, the BBQs, the company of friends an family, but overall else enjoy the FREEDOM that we [...]

These days I’m low on recipes for two reasons: 1) I’m really not cooking that often.  With all my time going to finishing my dissertation we mainly throw whatever we can together without much thought 2) I’ve packed away all my recipes so I can’t give you any measurements. But no fear.  Between some recipes [...]

Gotta Dance!

One of the things Alan and I miss most of living in RI is that there are no decent latin dance clubs around.  The only good ones are in Boston, but that is a 90 mile trek which entails renting a room at a hotel and gets way too expensive. Therefore, every chance I get [...]

Life might be complicated. Another school friend, Madelyn, has a blog on vegetarian recipes.  She turned vegetarian a while back for many reasons, that if memory doesn’t fail me, were rooted in health issues.  In any case, I applaud her discipline to be vegetarian and her efforts to think out of the box and create [...]

As you are aware, Alan has a new toy.  As Evenshine noted that new toy can be dangerous.  Fortunately, I’m not the one who has to worry at being caught at less than becoming moments.  It seems Gene Simmons has some competition from the unlikeliest source.  Be warned, put your coffee down.  Put your yogurt [...]

Corín Tellado has passed away (click here for English).  Who????  Ahhhh, se she embodies an entire era and more than one generation of the romance novel genre in Spanish – las novelitas rosa.  Our mothers and even some of our grandmothers read her work.  Her work was corny as hell, but uber romantic. Many refranes [...]

And Here we Are!

Tomorrow we are up bright and early to go see our first apartment complex, followed by lunch with my “future” colleagues (only some months ’till its “future) and Alan’s “future” teachers. The drive was nice and scenic, then again upstate NY is a beautiful area! But I have to say that after six hours on [...]

Under the weather

My apologies to you guys for the lack of posting but I’ve been majorly under the weather with one catarro that is kicking my ass.  Congestion, headaches and a queasy stomach have plagued me for the past week or so…and through it all I’ve had to work and do my schoolwork. Apparently my body was [...]
