mangu & piropos

i just made this for dinner & it was everything i had hoped it would be...




it's called mangu -- it's plantain smashed up & it has red onions that were fried in oil & vinegar 


a typical dominican dish


i got another new responsibility at work last week as an employment specialist to the Cuban clients


so one day per week i spend making phone calls to Cubans and conducting interviews with them


today on a phone conversation one asked if i were Dominican


best.


piropo.


ever.


this literally meant, that over the phone, he noted little to no american accent...

  2. Well, when I talk to you on the phone you don't seem to have any accent to me either. Very bilingually impressive!
