I need a little help Spanish mamas! It’s my SO & I anniversary and want to try something new. (Cooking style) I’m always making American food and souls food so, First time making Spanish rice and of course i don’t have all the ingredients i don’t have sofrito or tomato sauce. And at this point I’m too lazy to go to the store so I’m looking for substitutes that i might have to modify this rice lol any ideas?
@shababy you could add diced tomatoes too & your welcome (:
@hazelmaplewood, yes!!! I have onions garlic and chicken broth and salt. Perfect! Thank you
@shababy Im hispanic and theres plenty of different ways to add flavor to it . like onions,garlic,salt chicken broth and you could use the spices from the soup maruchan just take those little packages out and use those .
@emily526, the smell of sofrito alone is awesome so i know my rice is going to take a hit. I’m going to make a little today and see how it taste and then tomorrow I’ll run back to the store and do the real deal lol
It's definitely not the same without the sofrito, but I have made it without before and nobody complained.
@lex105, i literally just ran out because i made oxtails last week and i was rushing in the store and forgot i didn’t have anymore so lol idk what else to use to give it an extra flavor. I have everything else besides those two ingredients 😢
@hazelmaplewood, so it’s no other way to make arroz con Gandules without those two lol and no not yet i wanted to find out before i started
you can make white rice without the red on it . do you have any bollin ?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
@shababy It's definitely not the same, but the white half of my family didn't notice at all 😂 it was the Puerto Rican half that knew something was up lmfao
