003 - Return of the Platanos feat. Gallo Pinto, Arroz, Cornmeal y Huevos!

Hola mi gente, welcome to the  “The Aguacate Chronicles”, I’m your host Giraldo Luis Alvaré. Gracias for listening. Last episode, Renata and I touched on the importance of a balanced diet and food from the source minus the preservatives. Keep in mind, It’s good to live a little and have some pork chops and chicharrones. I mean, who doesn’t like a good chuleta? I know I do. There’s nothing wrong with some fried food. All in moderation. We also left you dreaming of arepas. Whether you like to have them filled with chicken, cheese, meat and of course aguacate. It’s all good. On the menu for this episode we got platanos, gallo pinto, arroz, arina y huevos frito. Plantains, rice and beans, cornmeal and fried eggs. Mmmm. Hay hambre mi gente. You will here audio clips featuring Creative Director of Somos Arte, Graphic Novelist, Philanthropist, Creator of La Borinqueña, Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez: Co-Founder of Sanguich de Miami, Daniel Figueredo, and Founder of Mozaic Strategies, Carolina Espinal.  There’s a lot to unpack here mi gente, so cojelo con take it easy. One bite at a time with your favorite beverage. Buen provecho. Enjoy the show. Don't forget to rate, review, follow, subscribe, like and share. Check out my Linktree for more info. Tune in next week.
