Family First

Hey guys! Yesterday my mom made one of my favorite dishes for dinner. I know we are all going through finals and my mom can sense exactly how stressed I am. She asked me to come home and I didn't want anything more than that. When I arrived, my mom had dinner already served. Everybody knew how much of a break I needed and were there to support me and talk me through this week. When I looked on the table, mom had made white rice, black beans, fried ribs, avocado salad with vinegar, and fried plantains. These plantains were a bit different. Instead of being flat and fried, they were deep fried and made to hold something in the middle. These plantains were round with a dip in the middle. The dip was full of shrimp and lobster cocktail with this delicious sauce. What an amazing dinner. I was so stuffed but that did not stop us from having dessert. My mom served guava and cheese pieces with syrup. I was so happy to go home. I can't wait to get back and have some more home cooked meals because I am so tired of food that is not home cooked! Here is a picture of dinner- although my mom was still cooking the plantains so those are not included in this photo. Enjoy!
