Celebración en El Valle

La India Dormida

Este fin de semana nos llevamos a mi Abuelo Kermit al Valle para que disfrutara de algo de tranquilidad y del canto de los pajaritos, muy diferente de lo que escucha todos los días, pero sobre todo para acompañarlo mientras soplaba sus velitas de cumpleaños (un día antes de tiempo, en realidad su cumpleaños es hoy, 23 de Abril). Si lo hubieramos puesto a soplarlas todas estaríamos todavía allá porque son nada más y nada menos que 94 años!

Happy birthday, Gramps!
Just look at all the joy and excitement lighting up his face! Actually, as we sung Happy Birthday, he kept claiming that his birthday was not Sunday, but Monday.

Mighty Diego!


The yummiest cookies I've ever baked. So far... (Thanks Heidi!)

Easy is good

This was lunch today. I got home barely on time and managed to whip it up in under half an hour, as promised by the source (Mexican Lasagna by Rachel Ray). It's a really rich dish, yet throwing some veggies into it removes any guilt.

Impress your friends at your next dinner party! ;)

Thai-style welcome

All's been rather quiet on the western front lately with nothing on Gustavo's and my agenda besides work and more work for the past few weeks. I finally had some time off so I thought I'd get into the kitchen and stir things around a bit to celebrate Gustavo's return from five days at the Playa Bonita Resort. We sure missed ya babe!

Anyway, I'd seen this extra-easy, extra-delicious recipe on the food network and just had to give it a try given the very small likelihood of screwing it up. It's a thai-style halibut with coconut-curry broth (I used red snapper and regular curry powder instead of the red curry paste the recipe calls for and it turned out just fine... great in fact!). Enjoy the pics.-

This fish was melt-in-your-mouth good!


To finish off Gustavo I made it with Arroz con Guandú!!
