Puerto Rican Chicken and Rice - aka Arroz con Pollo

 No, I'm not Puerto Rican, but I tended bar in an area where probably 50% or more of my customers were.  While my rudimentary Spanish I learned back in High School helped me serve "cervesas" (always Budweiser, I would ask big or little because we had both size bottles, but I wonder what they are drinking now!!)   After a few years I had made quite a few friends, and they taught me to cook some of their favorites (after bringing me dinners prepared by their wives they would take me to their homes so I could learn and their wives would realize they were more than welcome to come into the bar with their husbands)   Arroz con Pollo and Bacalao were my favorites.  I realized that I haven't ever cooked either for my family.  Not sure if I will cook bacalao - my body does not need more salty fried food, but Arroz con Pollo - for sure !!   Anyway - my recipe can be found here  Arroz Con Pollo - Plan to Eat And I'll be doing more and more re...

 Have you ever looked at the clock and wondered where the entire afternoon went?  I did on June 5th of this year, and realized that social media just sucks the life out of my day.  Facebook was the biggest issue - instead of just using it to stay on top of what my friends and family were doing, finding new recipes, and reading the news, I found myself arguing about things I didn't even care about !  So... Good-Bye FB for now at least  It's been two weeks and I really don't miss it.  I can text my friends, I can search up new recipes.  Maybe Instagram and Twitter will be next !
