    This seems like an insane amount of work for an arepa, but it is worth it, I swear. Everything just blends together into the best, most flavorful arepa I've ever had. There are times when I just need something comforting, and today was one of those days, so at lunch time I decided to make myself this wonderful arepa.

      Winter calls for comfort. That sauce has just wowed me. Sort of light and rich at the same time. Everyone here would smile if I put this in front of them.
