      Another winner...and oh I just had this lovely scrambled egg recipe you had put up for breakfast a few days ago. ITS GORGEOUS. I also added a bit of paprika ( I am such a paprika fan) and some sun dried tomatoes to boot. The whole idea is simply great. Thought you would like to know 🙂 🙂

      Erica although I did'nt know ANYTHING about columbian food when I first came to your website, you have thought me SO MUCH. I am now entertaining the notion that Columbian food is extremely delicious and sooooooo pretty too. Most of all, thanks to your recipes I have a chance to try making these at home. This is so gorgeous ...REALLY !

      I love your recipes! But please remind all of Non COLOMBIANS that is is NOT ColUmbian food...or ColUmbian coffee, it is ColOmbian food, ColOmbian coffee! ColUmbia has Nothing to do with ColOmbia other than kind of the sound or the spelling. The letter O makes a big, BIG difference!

      Changing the subject here, this recipe looks so yummy! How do I make the plantain? It is huge!
      Thanks for the taking the time to share this wonderful food!
      LULA.
