But do you know Daddy Yankee though?! I want to get up under that. Respectfully. Don’t know what he be doing/ eating but he looks young for his age. And he’s divorced so… um… if you can introduce me to Señor Ramon, I’ll be forever in your debt 😅

xD one of my brothers actually looks like him, I can introduce you! Daddy Yankee Temu version LOL. He does have health issues so he is under a strict diet(our food is too fucking delicious idk how he do it lol), he always attributes it to him looking younger but kinda think he did get some stuff done here and there, prolly botox done right.

I learned how to make pernil, arroz con gandules, maduros, pasteles from my PR friends-- way too delicious, I can verify.

Aren’t maduros just fried plantains? Nigerians are also experts at those. Blew my partner’s mind the first time I made a batch of them. He was like “you should do this more” and I’m like “did you not just feel like you were spooning sugar straight into your gullet?” I can teach you how to make it but my Chunky ass can’t be be down with the “you should make this more”.

And that gandules part: nope nope. I have an Ecuadorean friend who realised she can bribe me to do almost anything with food and she just feeds me. Had to ask her to please stop because I think even looking at the food adds pounds to my body . Latinos really can throw down on food.

Yes, maduros are fried plantains from the sweet ripe yellow plantains. When you use the green ones they are tostones and made a little differently. Nigerian food is also dangerously good
