Times have change, but I still think a great dinner with family and friends is very important! I love to have my friends and family over, and prepare a great dish, everyone brings a small dish to go with the main one! Good healthy food will always bring happiness to everyone. Let's not forget my husbands fantastic chicken curry! Good spanish rice (gandules with rice) good rice is hard to make but my comes out fantastic all the time (learned from my younger counsin)! Steam fish, or a great stew in the slow cooker. Cooking my pasteles for the winter, and sweet rice for dessert! Have you ever cooked a rice stew with green bannas great for the cold days of winter-high in potasium too! My sweet rice for the winter in keeps getting better with every winter. This was a long time ago I decided to put my already boil potatoes in the blender. The kids didn't get no mash potatoes that day, they became potato glue! Horrible, we all went out to eat that night.
