    White Bean DipPin

    Well, here I am trying to write in English. Not a problem for a lot people, but a little difficult for me. Some days I think I should give up and just write in Spanish, but that means giving up my dream of teaching the world about my culture.

    My friend Gillian would tell me all the time that I should write a blog about Colombia, and I always said “yes, maybe one day”, but I never did. Until one day when my husband came to me, after starting his own blog, and said, “let’s buy your domain now, come and sit down with me”. And so I began. Now I can only thank them for pushing me to do it because I’m having a lot of fun. I love everything about it, the cooking, taking pictures and making new friends.

    This is a simple and delicious bean dip. Enjoy!

      Your white bean dip looks fantastic! Perhaps you can write some posts in Spanish and for those of us who don't know too much Spanish, there's always Google Translate which actually works pretty well 🙂

      I am so glad you heeded their encouragement, I for one would not have known that English is not your first language, you write like a native. Thank you for educating me and offering me many tempting reasons to explore Columbia.

      I enjoy your blog and recipes very much. Your English is very good. I married into a bilingual family ... they've lived in the U.S. proper; Puerto Rico; Carracas, Venezuela; and Mexico City. I'm trying to learn as much Spanish as I can, but it's a very slow, very challenging process. I truly appreciate your skillfulness at writing your blog in your second language.

      Not to complain (I speak primarily English with a smattering of words in a few other languages) but I do find it interesting that English seems to be the default language of food blogs, at least. I'm grateful that foodies such as yourself and those from all over the globe write posts in my primary language. But I am also in awe at the multilingualism that you display. Speaking at least 2 languages seems to be the norm in most other countries (the native tongue and often English). I wish that we had the same approach here in US! By all means, please feel free to write posts in Spanish - I would welcome the opportunity and challenge of learning another language!

      In the meantime, I will enjoy your white bean dip as I continue to mull over the issue of language and bloggign! 8-D

      Your English is perfect and I'm sure glad that you are blogging. I love your recipes: ) I have seen so many recipes with beans lately and that makes me so happy. I think beans are not used enough in cooking. I have been craving them lately and can't get enough. This bean dip looks yummy!!

      I'm glad you did start this blog. I started studying Spanish almost 20 years ago, and I'm so happy to have found a food blog like yours to use as inspiration for cooking. And this bean dip has some of my favorite flavors in it!

      I'm really enjoying your recipes, I love learning about Colombian culture, and your English is great. I married into a Puerto Rican family and I live in Texas, so I've been trying to learn some Spanish. Let's just say my bilingual attempts don't hold a candle to yours. There's no way I could write my blog in Spanish.
