    More about My Life Lately... (Erica Parte Dos...)

    I was feeling homesick and melancholy last Monday, and for a whole week I thought it was my hormones!!!! When I get like this, I miss Colombia, my house, my family, my friends, and I don't even want to speak in English... it sounds weird right? But maybe it wasn't my pregnant hormones...

      Mujer, you need to start shopping your cookbook. I have no idea why you haven't done this project. You have both a unique Colombian but also global, international flair to food (as you state in your blog slogan). Te juro, most people in this country have no idea that there is more to Latin American food than tacos.

      Averigua en las redes sociales, conectate, encuentra un agente literario!! You owe it to yourself to channel and make a living out of your cooking passion and OWN YOUR OWN terms. Quite frankly, the world can't miss out on this any longer, you really have something special to offer in a world glutted with food mavens. No te lo diria si no lo creyera honestamente.

      Bueno, y despues de toda esta cantaleta dejame felicitarate por tu embarazo y por salir de ese trabajo con gente poco etica. Mejorar averiguar temprano y no tarde. Igual te hubieran hecho alguna zancadilla mas adelante.

      Congrats on your pregnancy!! So sorry to hear that you got laid off from your job and I do believe it is illegal to let someone go because of that but difficult to prove. You might have a case if you go to a lawyer and they could advise you.

      Have a great Thanksgiving! :o)

      I'm sorry to hear that you lost your job however Congrats on the baby! To help with the heartburn and the nausea try sipping hot ginger water. Buy a small piece of ginger. peel it outer skin off a little then thinly shave a couple of pieces in to a coffee mug add hot water and sip it really helps. the other thing to try is having on hand some candied ginger to nibble. Best Wishes to you and yours.

      Erica, Congratulations on your pregnancy, and my best wishes to you and your new baby. Many times in life, the best things happen when you are in the middle of a crisis such as after being laid off from your job. I pray that everything works out for you on this one. I am also from Medellín even though I have been living more than half of my life in Florida. I love all the recipes you have put out there. You are making look life an "Iron Chef" to my wife and kids.

      Hi Erica,

      I have a very small request.

      I am not Colombian and do not have a Spanish keyboard. As such it is difficult to find recipes that use special characters unique to Spanish. Yesterday I was looking for Bunuelos but because I don't have "ennie" on my keyboard, it was not found in your recipe database. I know you have this recipe because I found it lon your site through Google.

      And here is the request, can you provide for English alphabet friendly searches that find recipes? Not sure how to do it but whoever is hosting your blog may be able to assist.

      Thank you.

      BTW, I got rave reviews after I made Pandebonos using your recipe. FYI, I was born in Poland and have lived in the US for over 40 years, basically a Gringo, who is married to a Colombian. She never thought that making Pandebonos, perfectly, on the first try was possible. hahahahaha

      Thanks!
