My first trip to Europe

The first time I ever went to Europe I went to Spain. Why Spain? There could be many reasons for that. For example, I'm from Puerto Rico, so my cultural heritage is very much influenced by Spain. It could also be because my main language is Spanish, or maybe the fact that I had a friend studying there at the time? The real reason, though, is because my best friend forced it upon me.

No, not really.

Ratatouille

Ever since I saw the movie Ratatouille I wanted to cook one. You know how you sometimes say "I'd like to do this...I'll set some time for doing that" and you never do it? Well, cooking a ratatouille is one of those things you never set your mind to do even though it's really easy.

Really, Victor, what is a ratatouille? Good question. It could either be a bunch of overcooked vegetables thrown in together, or it could be a tasty medley of fresh veggies. One good thing about ratatouille, though, is that it's a very healthy and hearty dish. The meatiness of the eggplant, along with all the combined flavors, gives it a feeling that sets it apart from other vegetarian meals.

Rice with pigeon peas

What better way to start a food blog than with Puerto Rico's national dish: Arroz con gandules (Rice with pigeon peas). This dish is considered by many to be the food that better represents Puerto Rican food culture. It is eaten all year round and there's plenty of it during Christmas season.
