Larry: could be that the arepas your daughter had were made with fresh sweet corn (arepas de choclo o chocolo). They are made with sweet corn and many people eat them with cheese on top, or condensed milk, or whatever they fancy. I love them!!!

When I lived in Canada I used to make arepas with AREPARINA (from Colombia) or PANARINA (from Venezuela). If I could not get it, just used CORNMEAL. I did them just like Powerplantop says, but I added 1 tsp oil to de dough. With the cornmeal use boiling water. One of the secrets is to...

In my balcony, two little birds decided to make a nest. We were away, came back and discover it with 2 or 3 eggs . That was about 2 weeks ago. Since that day, we were "banished" from the balcony of the apartment, only my brother can go and water some of the plants. My question is: how long...

Yes, Simon. When I lived in Canada, one of my neighbors was from India. She told me that curry is really a mix of spices: (curry recipe - basic curry sauce) Some mixes are very hot, others mild, and there are very nice ones. Also try CHUTNEY, made mostly with mango or other fruits...
