I asked a priest how he felt about the scandals when this initially broke a few years back. He said, "Our Lord is cleaning out the deadwood." This hurts me as a Catholic; I wasn't raised with any of it. So I appreciate this comment.

In Puerto Rico the most common sweet bread is called Mallorca, a sweet light pastry in the shape of a little round coil. You can find this pastry pretty much anywhere here, but one of the places most famous for its mallorca is called La Bombonera. It has been open since 1902 and serves delicious mallorca and café con leche (coffee with milk) along with other traditional Puerto Rican dishes. It’s been serving Puerto Rico for over 100 years, so yes, it's that good, and criminal not to stop by. After passing the front window display filled with all the yummy pastries they offer, you go inside and see a long bar with old red cushioned bar chairs and behind the bar is their huge stainless steel espresso machine that is the same one they have been using since the restaurant opened. The place is always filled with both locals on their lunch breaks and sun burnt tourists trying out Puerto Rican food for the first time. It’s a fun place to be and the wait staff is always very friendly and super speedy.

One of the favorite items to order at La Bombonera is their mallorca with a café con leche in the morning, or a mallorca panini, that they make by slicing open the mallorca and putting cheese and ham inside and grilling it in a panini press and sprinkling it with powdered sugar. This little sandwich isn’t even on the menu, you have to have Insider info about this lil delicious treat {Hiya !!}, my mother took us to this place when we first arrived, I've been going back ever since, such memories, such flavors !!! :tongue:

Know when to break the rules.

Heh...yeah, I've gotten into the bushes and the chiggers before. Worse than chicken pox, etc. Man, it's brutal! (and yeah, I noticed that premature button pushing!) *grin*


I'm so used to that stuff it never even registers anymore. It can be interesting as a butch down here, but it's not that bad. Well, it's gotten some better. I've been in those parts where you are, so I know. Where I am could possibly be worse. I definitely enjoy my forays into more enlightened parts of the country, though, I will say!

Life is like a box of crayons.
Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!"”

I still have a tough time deciding when exactly I officially developed a Celebrity crush on Queen Latifah...

Oh fuck that noise, sheesh...
Y'know, after watching the Opening Sequence to "Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaur", I've come to the Sincere conclusion that Scratte the Squirrel is Queer....Or Bi, at Most.. :|
I've never seen someone so Obsessed over a Nut, he'd disregard a sexy sensual female Squirrel for it, yeah it's Food....but, and this is a Key, we're talking Ice Age..Preservation of Species, Instinct of a Squirrel to randomly fuck for survival........Not slap a potential mate and walk off with a NUT*occasionally caressing said Nut lovingly, dare I say lustfully??*.....
:blink:
yes, I'm bored...Waiting for "The Stepfather"{2009}
