Last week I looked at Buster and quickly came to the conclusion that Homeboy needed a haircut. I mean look at him he looks like a Muppet. There are two things that Buster absolutely hates and that is baths and haircuts. But I will admit that I love giving them to him, because…

Buttercrunch Toffee
I scream, you scream, we all scream for…..toffee? Mmmmm toooffeeee! *in best Homer Simpson impersonation* The idea to make toffee came to me while I was watching tv. Have you seen that commercial for LegalZoom.com, where a lady says her mom made the best toffee and she decided to incorporate a toffee company? See you…
Chillo en Escabeche (Red Snapper in Escabeche Sauce)
When I was in my first year of college in Puerto Rico, I was usually done with classes by noon. After English Lit my friends and I would sometimes pile up into our cars and head out to the beach in Luquillo. We would first make a stop at the kiosks that lined the street…
Ensalada de Camarones (Shrimp Salad)
Ahahahahahaha! Today when I woke up my buns where burning and I am not talking about some baked good I put in the oven, I am talking about my own personal buns. No, it’s not because I sat in a batch of hot jamaican peppers it’s because I did a new class yesterday at the…
Cardamom Vanilla Pound Cake
Sometimes when I write one of these post I have to reach really far back into the dark scary corners of my brain and try to come up with something brilliant to write about and there are many times that I come up empty. Is this something I should be concerned about? I have a…
Pioneer Woman’s Pizza Crust

Berry Crisp
So here is the scenario. We have just finished eating a tasty easy dinner and Obed and I were craving something sweet and fruity. I go into the kitchen and quickly realize that I have no fresh fruit and I really didn’t want to make any serious effort, if you know what I mean. Then…
Sleeping Dog Macro
I miss my DSLR terribly but I am impressed with the macro lens on the little point-n-shoot that has been getting me by these last few weeks. Check it out. Buster sleeps most of the day. It is probably may favorite time of the day….because it is peaceful. 😀 But who doesn’t love the little…
English Muffins
I LOVE…LOVE…LOVE…ENGLISH MUFFINS! Like obsessively love english muffins. But they are so stinking pricey at the grocery store. I cannot express how excited I was to find a recipe and be able to make them at home. Yes I did a little happy dance. We have all done a happy dance over food at some…
Pollo Sofrito
Yesterday I got some good news. My camera should be home in 1.5 weeks! Although this little point-and-shoot has gotten me through the last few weeks and has a great macro lens, I will be happy to have my camera home where it belongs. It was in fact a bad shutter and it is a…
