  1. Looks delicious! In Colombia we eat soups and stews every day and the weather is warm all year round! We love Stews……
    Great flavors!

  2. Thanks! I thought it was a little weird but I remembered that my mom makes stews and soups all the time in Puerto Rico so it’s not that crazy :)

  3. I don’t care what the temps are – I love soups and stews any time of year. I did a double-take: valencia orange juice? That sounds fantastic!

    Many apologies for being absent recently – I’m still trying to catch up after falling behind on my blog readings. I’ve skimmed through all of your posts last week and will go back for closer reading, especially the biftec, aji dulce bread, the Bourdain/Batali show and pretty much all of it! 8-)

  4. So… are you going to elucidate on “mini-cattle”? Never heard of them.
