Litty Latino Holidays

Hey guys! Sadly, this is the last post:( For this post I’d like to write about how latinos do the holidays, more specifically, Christmas. As we all know, Christmas is coming up in a couple of days. This is the time where kids can’t wait to wake up in the morning and see their gifts under the tree. Hispanic kids love this too...PSYCH. We don’t do that AT ALL.

This is how hispanics do Christmas:

• On CHRISTMAS EVE, go to a relatives house.
• Preparation of food for an eternity 
• Eat dinner at around 7pm or 8pm
• Watch baseball or football for another eternity 
• Open gifts at around 10pm, which also takes an eternity, while screaming “SE LO ABRA!” which means “HE/SHE WILL OPEN IT!” for some strange reason

Fortunately, I get to experience all of this on the 24th, CHRISTMAS EVE, not CHRISTMAS DAY. Very important to remember that guys. 

Well, this is my last post. I hope you’ve enjoyed my blog and that you’ve learned a little bit about my culture!

NOS VEMOS!

Delightful, Delectable Dominican Dishes

Hey guys! As we all know, Thanksgiving just passed. I hope that you guys had a day filled with family, fun, and most importantly...FOOD! Speaking of food, there are several dishes that almost every family has on the table: turkey, chicken, potato salad, etc. There are also dishes that are based more on your families culture. Today I would like to share five dishes that my Dominican family always has on our Thanksgiving table that may be different from other cultures' tables.

Pollo Guisado(braised chicken)

 Beef Empanadas

 Potato Salad with Beets

 Tostones(fried yellow plantains)

 Pernil(roasted pork)
