Feliz Navidad

Feeling a little nostalgic about spending the holidays in Puerto Rico, because it has been years since I’ve done this.

No offense to the Anglo Christmas carols 

(which always remind me of mourning instead of celebrating), 

I prefer an aguinaldo with a cuatro or two.

I try to make a traditional 'Rican meal for my Mom on, at least, one of the bigger nights of the season (somewhere between Thanksgiving to the day of the Epiphany). 

This year we are doing fish for the holidays and a spread of rich appetizers (just to keep things interesting).

Before we close the year, I offer you these gifts – companion pieces to the blog – and a new tradition to the meatier entries to come. You may click on each image for a direct link to the boards. 

The last one, my PR Xmas board is food porn for Latinos.

Buen Provecho! Happy holiday (whichever you choose to celebrate). See you in 2015.
