    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!

      It looks so good my mouth is watering. Thanks for sharing this special recipe, yummmy! I bet it was nice having your sister around for a whole month! At least the inter-net makes the world a little closer, and easier to keep in touch. She's gorgeous!

      Wow - that's quite a treat. I imagine the combo tastes great.

      P.S. Even though you cooked up a storm for your sister, it looks like she went back to Colombia slim and trim.

      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.

      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".

      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! 🙂

Hummmmm For the first time in my life grabs arepas,( a friend who lives in Florida sent me the bread flour for arepas) P.A.N. and one evening I grabe, my husband is from Mexico and I he said arepa is alike sopes.
