Thank you Juneisy for sharing your kitchen with us.
My kids have loved rice ever since we lived in the Caribbean, so I finally bought a basic rice cooker from an Asian store in Budapest — only to discover that all the buttons were in Chinese! We managed to figure out the translations, and now it works perfectly.
Like you said, it saves so much time and keeps the rice warm for hours. I even make arroz con fideos (arroz árabe) in it. As a food historian, perhaps you know how this dish traveled all the way to the Caribbean region?
Gracias por la receta de ropa vieja — suena deliciosa!
Historical Foodways is always an interesting read! I once met a food historian in France who worked on the most peculiar medieval recipes which mostly turned out to be unexpectedly delicious. It was interesting to discover through them just how much our tastes evolve. But often we leave behind some treasures.
Loved taking a walk around in your kitchen this morning. Your disaster sounded terrible especially given your leaning towards having a clean kitchen! Thanks for bringing us to New York for a few minutes.
