Posts Tagged ‘Us’

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 [...]

When life throws you lemons…..

…learn to make lemonade, the saying goes.  We have it in Spanish too, except our lemons come from the sky, not from life.  Religion ties into everything in our culture, doesn’t it? I have several posts ready to go, including the much acclaimed and requested Chicken Vaca Frita recipe (with Congri Oriental to boot!), and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Waiting for Opening Day!

Even for some of my passions like baseball, life is on hold.  But that one I don’t control.  However, I’m 100% ready for our home opener against Tampa Bay.  Yes folks I’m a proud card carrying citizen of Red Sox Nation.  See how ready I am?  As ready as Lowell, Beckett, Pedroia, Youkilis and BIG [...]

Life on hold

For the past month our life has been literally “on hold”.  Why?  Very simple.  I’m finishing this thing called a Ph.D which has this other thing called a Dissertation.  While the PhD programs demands commitment and time throughout your 4 or 5 years, nothing really compares to what it demands on the last stretch. By [...]

Our New Digs

As I sit here and start calling moving companies so we can get estimates (we don’t actually move until August), I thought I’d share with you what our new apartment will look like.  It’s not too big, but it’s not too small either.  The good thing is that the bedrooms are not smaller than our [...]

Beer!!!!!!!

It seems we have found the place we will call home for our first year in Rochester.  It’s nice, it’s cozy and It. Includes. Heat. Trust me, that’s a very good thing and a savings of about $1200 per year. Nada mas con el testigo! as Papi use to say. In other news, we went [...]
