My parents just spent 3 weeks with my brother in OH and 2 with us here in VA. They wanted to see our trees with leaves on them since they always travel to mainland during Christmas. We had some very hot days (hotter than what they remember in PR) specially when we traveled to DC.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I just wanted to suggest to you that you try adding pieces of your calabaza (when ready) to your habichuelas guisadas. Its flavor mixed with the sofrito is truly a delight.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>HamiltonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201778738606227644.post-32199997135645521622008-07-26T18:44:00.000-04:002008-07-26T18:44:00.000-04:00Love the photos of your kitties playing with fount...Love the photos of your kitties playing with fountain grass!

I am really liking the viandas and find each has a little different property to it - name is more solid and "clean" tasting, yucca absorbs all kinds of flavors, guineos are more solid, plantanos more sweet and on and on. The best tostones by far are breadfruit! katrina (calabaza is pretty versatile and yummy too - for desserts and a meal)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201778738606227644.post-36733819015382356412008-07-24T21:24:00.001-04:002008-07-24T21:24:00.001-04:00Yum.

My mom used to cook (boil) them and also guineos verdes (slice them after cooking) and then let them marinade together(in a jar with an EVOO/garlic/cilantro marinade kinda like aji-li-mojili). Sorry don't have the recipe, but your neighbor might. You can serve it warm or cold as a side dish. I think you'll like pana this way too. Even just boiled with EVOO drizzled on top is wonderful.

Have you figured out how to eat yucca? Is it any good? We had pasteles from yucca, and I wasn't a fan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
