Growing up I wasn't much of a mango fan even though my family grew mangoes in their backyard. Now that I'm older, I can't believe I didn't like mangoes!

Only one would walk away with a [...]
As a young girl, bistec con aceitunas/beefsteak with olives was a special treat! And, no one made it as good as my padrasto/stepfather. It was sabroso to the core! As I grew I forgot about this dish until a friend invited us for dinner. What a great surprise it was when she served this dish! [...]
