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!!!

My sister invited some friends to visit on friday afternoon. I plan to serve some crepes filled with chicken salad (chicken, celery, apples, raisins, mayo) and a small salad. I plan also make a nice dessert with jello and peaches. What else would you suggest to serve? I am not very good at...

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...

Thanks Bakechef. I will do it soon, with the pumpkin. I love your blog, everything is very well explained.

Dear Bakechef: I would like to make your Spiced Pumpkin Muffins. As in here I cant get the canned pumpkin, can I just boil it? And where it says "In a large bowl combine the sugar, pumpkin, butter (or oil), eggs and water" Its this the water from the boiled pumplin? and how much? Sorry to be...

Aunt Bea: Please google this: cooking+in+war+times You will find a lot of sites, some with recipes for those times in which everything was rationed, yet many people ingeniously made a lot of dishes out of nothing. At least, it will give you some ideas for many things. And look in your...

Thanks Taxlady for the address, the information is very good. Buckytom and Sparrowgrass: I will try to set a dich of water and other with some food to help the "new parents". Up to now, we have not seen or heard any sounds from the nest, but hope the little ones come out soon. Will inform...

Hi Sparrowgras! The name we give here to this kind of bird is TORTOLA. I looked ast some images, this looks like the Tortola comun. One of them is brown. the other is kind of grayish. My other sister and I have been vanished fron the balcony, the only one allowed is my brother, the one in...

Sorry, I erased the first part of the message, it was about guacamayas that come to a terrace in front of my buiding. Is almost the only bird that i can tell about, apart for the one canarie that my grandmother use to have.

If they are not "served" on time, they screech to make know about their presence. BUT THEY ARE SO BEATIFUL !!!!

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...

SORRY- I touched the wrong key ..........and every thing desapeared....... I was talking about KEDGEREE. Is made with smoked fish, rice and eggs. Is light and easy. There are many recipes, I like the recipe fron Sophie Grigson in The Good Food Channel - Hope you like it.

Mi kitchen is equiped with a big oven, that I use only in special ocasions ( several dishes at the same time that need oven). I bought toaster oven that is not small, but not as big as the regular oven. The small oven is used for everything: toasts, casseroles. cakes, muffins, etc. I think es...

Sometimes when I make apple pies, I shift the sugar with 2 tbsp. flour, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground ginger. The apples are sliced and I mix the sugar with the apples just before putting them in the bottom crust. And I love putting in a lot of raisins. Dot with butter and cover with...

Thanks, Goodweed, I think this is the same recipe that long time ago I had in the house of one person I knew long time ago. I never had the opportunity to ask for her recipe, and now you give it to me. I will try it very soon.

Thanks Andy, I will make it as you advise. I also want to make one with sweet corn more or less like that. Do you ( or anybody else) have a nice and EASY recipe?

Thanks, Andy and Princess Fiona. Yes the pie went up beautifully, it was the first time that I made one of pumpkin. It was a disappointment to see it at the end, but the flavor made for the "altitude". I will make it again, now that I see that is so easy to do. Thanks again and have a good...
