My sister Catalina went back to Medellin, Colombia today 🙁 The house feels really lonely and we miss her already. She stayed with me for a whole month and I got use having her around. We had a great time! We all hope that she can comeback soon.
Now, lets talk about food. There is a restaurant in Colombia that we both love called J&C Delicias. They make arepas with every topping imaginable and one of her favorite arepas is topped with cerdo and camarones, so I made it for lunch and we loved it! Enjoy!

Awww....I hope your sister visits you again soon. This dish is new to me but looks very delicious. I think I will pile a lot of prawns on top 😛

Very interesting coating for the shrimp, the pink color really is eye catching.
Are all women in Columbia as attractive as your sister and you? If so, I don't see why any man would ever leave Columbia willingly! 🙂
Erica
Chris- Thank you so much 😉 LOL

It's true what they say about the women from Medellin...they are the prettiest in all of Colombia. Every time you post your arepas, I get nostalgic for Venezuela and my sister-in-laws arepas. One day you will have to make them for me. This combination looks "sabroso".
Erica
Thank you guys for the wonderful comments!

First off, you and your sister are beautiful. I really don't know how the two of you stay so slim with all of the wonderful food you eat ;D ! Secondly, wow that is quite a combo and the shrimp look delicious. I could eat a bowl full of those with or without the arepa. You really are awe inspiring. Thanks.
