This post hits close to my heart...i remember your grandmother making this ( and so many wonderful dishes)... i learned it from my grea grandma when she lived with us, learned my mom's tweaking and your grandma's recipe... so mine is a mejunje of recipes and memories. I do not eat it... ( that's a long story about my diet ), but i can guarantee my food is devine !! And this is a dish we all mastered, even the guys in my family who all learned to cook, im proud to say. Thank you for the memories and the beautiful family photos. And there are a lot of pendejos in the world !!!
It feeds the soul! - it is not limited to just Puerto Rican souls! After 37 years with Tessa's father, I am Puerto Rican by proxy! I feel I have earned the planted Puerto Rican seed and have cooked accordingly! Keep it alive Little Girl, and keep handing it down!

What a great post. It took me through so many emotions. Rage. Laughter. Pride. Nostalgia. Thank you.
