It’s the end of the year and lists and retrospectives abound. One can imagine that Donald Trump made many lists-regardless of what they cover. Frankly, I am a bit tired of these news story lists. I am intrigued by the lists that outline great discoveries from the […]
When I lived and worked in New York, I was quite fortunate to work with a lot of other Puerto Ricans. Why do I consider that fortunate? For Christmas, so many of them would make my favorite pork dishes and Puerto Rican eggnog. Our version of eggnog, called […]
