  • Gallo pinto is lazy man’s food. You make a huge amount at a time then reheat it over the next few days

    1. Chop up onions and peppers (optionally celery), add to large frying pan and cook slightly with some oil
    2. Dump in a metric buttload of rice. Day old rice is better than fresh. Fry it up a bit
    3. Add a can of black beans, juice included. Mix it all together
    4. Season with salt, garlic, Goya Adobo, and enough cumin to topple an elephant. Add other spices to taste.
    5. Right before serving, add ten courics of cilantro and mix (no substitutions!). This shit shrinks like spinach.
    6. Serve with Salsa Lizano and some sort of side - fried egg, sweet plantains, chorizo, chachirron, queso fresco, fried cheese, corn tortillas






  • I’m originally from Costa Rica, but lived in both the US and Canada

    The US has always had a major xenophobia problem, even in progressive areas and even before Trump. I grew up in a red area of a blue state before moving to the city. My experience growing up was horrible. Cops are relentless and will try to fabricate evidence to ruin your life if you’re Hispanic. There’s no nuance. Everyone called me Puerto Rican or Mexican by default, even friends.

    Canada is different, Costa Rica has a much stronger presence here and people are much more aware of it (though I’ve yet to actually meet any other Costa Ricans). My experience as a latina has been better by comparison, though unfortunately it’s because a lot of the racism and xenophobia gets directed at South Asian people instead. Not to say Canada is perfect (and obviously it varies by area), but Canadians are generally just more pleasant to be around.

    Biggest pet peeve is when people think texmex is traditional Hispanic food. Fuck off with that hard shell BS
