Our butt smokes. Or do we smoke butts. Ha! Ha! Get it? Okay. Guess not.
Back to cooking...
At our second BBQ Smoking session, moncheoPR smoked a Pork Butt, some Beef Ribs, and baked beans. The beans?!?! Why not? Give us fruit and we'll smoke it. Water? Sure, why not?! Hell, we want to smoke Ice Cream base and see if it works.
CHEAP EATS!
One thing you have to hand to the island of Puerto Rico is the availability of good food for a decent price. Simple, tasty, filling food for a few bucks is easily found through-out the island. Most of the time the food is Puerto Rican. At times it's from a chain or not Puerto Rican. The point is, there are quite a few places out there where one can get a full meal, drink, and maybe even dessert or appetizer for less than $10 dollars. Oh, and receive great customer service as well. We decided to create a "Under $10" section to highlight these places. Which we're sure will be welcomed given the current economic crunch we're all feeling these days.
Last Sunday was El Día de los Padres (Father's Day). moncheoPR decided to cook for dad. It was the easiest gift we could think of. Besides, he had been asking for us to cook something. Anything. So we caved in. Oh, and moncheoPR mom came along for the ride. They're a combo deal. You can't have one without the other, right? Thinking about it, this was sort of Mami's Mother' Day Gift as well. Oops!
Toro Salao entered our radar after having eaten a pretty darn tasty Bacalao Croqueta (codfish croquette) they were selling during the SoFo Culinary Fest a week or so ago. (Toro Salao is one of the newest concepts from the OOF Restraurants family.) The croqueta was crisp on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, and had really good bacalao flavor. We believe that if you can make a yummy croquette, chances are you can make more yumminess out of other things. Would our belief prove true or false when we visited Toro Salao for dinner? Let's find out.
This weekend also brings us the 4th annual Condado Culinary Fest! El Vocero wrote about it here.
Dates: Saturday, June 21st through Sunday, June 22nd
Times: 3:00PM through midnight (12:00AM)
What a better way to do something nice for someone else than by eating and drinking the night away???

Who needs Krispy Kreme when you can make these at home? Disclaimer: moncheoPR is not liable for any computer damage resulting from droolage.
We've been hearing about this place for YEARS. Why we never visited before last week beats us. But we finally decided to go and can't believe we waited so long to do so!
¡Hola¡ Some people have asked when we'll be writing, cooking, etc. How often do we post? What's next? So we came up with a basic schedule that we plan on following (as best as possible) barring any acts of nature. The posting schedule is as follows:
