Amy'nin Sofrasi~Amy's Puerto Rican Spread


Last Monday some friends and I drove to Chicago. We went to visit our friend Amy at her gorgeous home. We have been friends for almost a year now. I absolutely adore her. She is such a fun person and a wonderful mother to her daughter Destiny. She is a perfect addition to our friends circle! I was so excited to go to her home because she


said she had something fun for us to try. It was a crazy night. Amy's friend came to help her prepare everything. Both of them share the same cultural background. We had fried Plantain

bananas and meat and potato stuffed pastries. There were side dishes of rice topped with stewed bean and potatoes. I think the most fun of all was the dark/white chocolate fondue pot.

We dipped strawberries and bananas pretzels and cookies. Whatever was on the table we slathered in chocolate.
Later we all gathered in the living room and tried to watch The Message. You can watch it from You Tube in parts. One of our new friends Jamie came with her sweet little boy also. It was a wonderful evening that ended way too soon. Afiyet Olsun!
