Topic “oregano”

You'll feel warm and all that, but your bed partner won't necessarily thank you. Still, I have to say that, this being the first time I've ever made chili, it was quite good!

Talking about rice and beans in Puerto Rico is like saying a phrase like "the daily bread". Actually, when people talk about "their beans", they are pretty much saying something very similar to "bring home the bacon". It's sort of our livelihood.

If I had to describe this dish to most non-vegetarians where I come from, I would call it a vegetarian fricassee. People would still be confused, but that's okay because it still tastes good. In all honesty, it cannot be called a fricassee for the simple reason that a fricassee, by definition, is a stew in which the meat is browned and simmered in its own juices along with the rest of the ingredients. I don't see any meat there.
