Made a gif of the Mofongo I made today. It’s made with green plantains. I made mine with crispy bacon instead of fried pork skin. Lots of garlic. Serve it with a very light gravy #mofongo #pr #puerto-rican #latin-food #latin #spanish #food #food-porn #spanish-food #puerto-rican-food #plantain (Taken with GifBoom)
In Mexico (and in most of Texas), if you’re in a Spanish-speaking house and want cake, you ask for pasteles.
In Puerto Rico, if you ask for pasteles, you’ll get what is on my plate, except yours will be wrapped in a package of banana leaves and wax paper held together with butcher’s string. (Dad unwrapped mine.)
Pasteles are basically like tamales, but not. Like tamales, they’re made mostly around the holidays and are fucking delicious. The masa is a big part of what’s different. Tamales usually go with a corn masa and pasteles go with one made from green plantains and bananas.
My grandmother fills hers with meat (this one has pork) but you can get meat-free ones as well. Actually, my grandmother made all the ones cooked tonight and sent them with my dad (along with some blood sausage that we have yet to pull from the freezer). That’s really the only way I can get some of this quality goodness. Speedy mail, family visits, or someone returning from a visit to the island.
And did I mention they’re delicious? Because they are.

En agosto del 2000, el programa Atrévete (Telemundo) reunió a tres de los cuatro integrantes de Telenoticias en Acción, nombre que se le daba al nuevo, para 1977, formato de noticias televisivas.
El primer newscast de Telenoticias en Acción lo fueron Aníbal González Irizarry (ancla de Telenoticias del 1962 al 1993), Bruni Vélez (QEPD), Ramón Enrique Torres (todavía activo como hombre ancla de Las Noticias Univisión) y Junior Abrahams (co-animador de Desde Mi Pueblo) en los deportes.
