"Excuse Me?"
A couple weeks ago my dad and I were grocery shopping at our local Costco. Then, as we were waiting for our order of Chicken Bakes (yummy!) to be ready, a fellow Hispanic who we had never met approaches us and asks, Están esperando una pizza también? My dad then replied, "Excuse Me?" which only seemed to embarrass the poor guy and make him ask the question again, this time in English, "Are you waiting for some pizza too?" "No," my dad replied. Now, to clarify, my dad does speak Spanish as well. It's just that we have a thing against speaking it with strangers when we first come across them. As he put it (in Spanish) when I asked him about it, "We came to this country to assimilate and join this culture--not to seek out fellow Spanish speakers, or to segregate ourselves, or to talk in Spanish with anybody [other than our family or those we're already used to speaking it with]. ..." This can also kind of explain the reason why we've never joined any type of Hispanic business organizations. I don't think I could have said it any better. So if you ever see me out and about, know this: 1. Yes I speak Spanish. Fluently 2. And I'd love to speak some with you 3. But I won't if I've never met you before or if the setting doesn't look like it'd be conducive enough to a Spanish convo. Ya es Miércoles!!

Adorable Playhouses
Growing up in a penthouse most of my life gave me a greater appreciation for things I'm sure most kids who grow up in detached homes perhaps take for granted:
Walking "a few houses over" (rather than going a few flights of stairs down/up) to meet a friend
A back door (I always thought it was soo cool to be able to be able to go outside through another door besides the main door)
A backyard
A few more things I can't think of at the moment
A tree--and by that token, a playhouse
So when I came across this HGTV post with pictures of amazingly darling playhouses, I couldn't help but just fawn over a seeming childhood staple that I still wish I could have grown up with (this is probably the one thing missing in my perfect childhood--that and one of those cars for kids to "drive" [though I did have a sweet three-wheeled motorcycle]). Even though I don't plan on having kids anytime soon, however, I still took the liberty of sending my mom the link so that she and my dad can begin planning out the materials for when my future hubby and we are ready to build our own for our kids. :)
The original post has 20 more photos. o0o0o... Do you like them? Did you grow up with a playhouse? If not, do you also wish you had and/or are you planning on building one for your kids?

Colombia En El Bicentennial de La Guerra de 1812
Colombia's mighty Buque Escuela Gloria coming to celebrate the war's Bicentennial, as shown by the Today Show.
You know how the media's always portraying beautiful Colombia in the least flattering light possible? Well imagine my surprise when, today, completely out of the blue, I spotted with my little eye a very familiar flag on our TV... Turns out the Today Show's Al Roker was on-site at the War of 1812 Bicentennial Celebration in Maryland. And as he was announcing the weather, he called attention to a "cool" ship he saw in the distance. After doing a double take, staring at the flag for a while to make sure it wasn't like Venezuela's flag, and even asking my dad to make sure, I realized this was our ship--AKA the Buque Escuela Gloria (thanks, Dad for teaching me its name!). Who cares if Mr. Roker didn't recognize the flag-- and thus didn't know what country this ship belonged to... I was still WAY happy to catch such a majestic sight being so greatly complimented by both he and Matt Lauer (who were in awe of, among other things, the people standing on the staffs). So forget all the bad things you've heard about Colombia. Today, I learned that just seeing that flag on a ship thousands of miles away makes my heart ache and my eyes water just a bit. We may be dual citizens now who are awesome enough to owe allegiance to not just one but two great nations, but we'll never forget where we came from. In the end, Colombia's cool. In fact, she'll even come to celebrate your victories! : ) Colombia tierra querida...
President George H. W. Bush's 88th
This brought my mom and I to tears. So cute.
You have to admit they're a great family regardless of whether you agree with their politics.
Arequipe: A Colombian Staple
Arequipe
Writing about the delicious goodies my mom brought us back for her Colombian vacation reminded me I should incorporate more "Colombianisms" into my blog-- my fam and I may be American citizens now, but I was born and raised a Colombian so why not? First up: Arequipe, or as the U.S. knows it, Dulce de Leche. Arequipe is *not* caramel. Let me state this again: Arequipe ≠ Caramel. Why do I feel like I have to settle the difference? The Story When I was in high school, a good friend invited our group of friends to hang out at her house one afternoon. We had all been asked to bring our favorite snacks (kind of like a snack potluck, if you wish--by snacks I mean literally snacks and not booze--some high schoolers are actually normal). So I decided to bring in homemade Arequipe and Club crackers (just thinking about these makes my mouth water!). Long story short, when I mentioned to the group what I had brought and one girl asked what Arequipe was, our hostess' little sister simply said that it was caramel (oh those darn kids!). I kind of started to slightly fume inside because I knew back then that that wasn't true--arequipe's much tastier than caramel. However, having grown up with both, I wasn't used to explaining what either was actually like. (It's like if someone asked you about a certain expression from your native language. They may ask "how do you know that's right?" to which you might reply, "I just know" or "It just sounds right." Well, same thing here.) Anyways, I don't remember what I answered back then, but now I finally have a comeback: Arequipe = A PoorButHappy commenter did a great job explaining it (third one down):
Caramelo is just basically melted sugar. You can add other ingredients, like different flavors and essences to make sweets that would be called caramelos. You can also melt just white granulated sugar with a little water in microwave oven to make thick, gooey substance (caramel sauce) to put on flans (puddings). Arequipe is a dessert made by cooking milk, sugar, a little cinnamon and a dash of bicarbonate in a paila de cobre. It takes a long time and the result is the arequipe or manjarblanco you know.
And here's Arequipe's Wikipedia entry too... Making Arequipe I'm sure reading about it has made you want to crave a little bit so I'd love to teach you how to make it :D It's super easy... Btw, the PoorButHappy link above also includes a recipe for great homemade Arequipe. But my family has one that's much easier and yields the exact same thing. (Family pics coming soon!) What you'll need: (1) A can of condensed milk (Nestlé [AKA Carnation or La Lechera] is our go-to brand) (2) Water (3) A pressure cooker What to do: (1) Fill the pot about 3/4 of the way with water and submerge the closed can (take off the wrapping first though!). (2) Next, "cook" the can on Medium-High for about 3 to 4 hours. And there you have it! Burnt condensed milk--i.e. Arequipe : ) Enjoy and let me know how it goes! Does you country of origin have delish unique staples or recipes? Share them below!
Gingrich Wasn't So Far Off After All
Meet (former[?] presidential candidate) Newt Gingrich. He got in trouble (with the media of course) last year for insinuating that kids/teenagers should develop a better work ethic (and perhaps work as janitors in their schools) if they wanted to earn the money they wanted to spend. Now meet Dawn. She's the gal I bet not too many Gingrich/Conservative critics (you know, the kind who want everything to be handed to them) want you to know about. She's a brilliant, composed and responsible young lady who's been through more than anyone's fair share of injustices. But after working at her high school as a janitor while earning top grades, she'll be starting her Freshman year of college this fall at HARVARD.
Guess that Newt wasn't that far off after all, huh?
Welcome Back Mami!! (Mmm Colombian Sweets!)
My mom came back yesterday from her Colombian vacation (first time she had seen our family and friends in almost ten years!!)!! Woot woot!!
Here she is super happy to be back, looking adorable and loving the yellow roses we got her (her fave flower)
Driveway:
Now although we missed her to pieces, we couldn't WAIT for the goodies we knew she'd be bringing:
Clock-wise from left: Coffe Delight, Moritas, regional sweets from a town near where I grew up, Arequipe & Obleas (which we packed into a Ziploc baggie), Chocolatinas Jet, Cocosette, more Arequipe, and Nucita.
Don't get me wrong: I rarely go nuts for sweet stuff, because frankly, I know it's not super beneficial to my Latina curves :) BUT when it comes to stuff I haven't tried in almost a decade, well, let's just say it might be a little harder to keep me away from it. (When I told my dad that these sweets better last us ~six months [since we're all going to be heading back after roughly that time], he was like, "you know, it might go bad during that time." Oh poor us, we might have to eat it all well before then! Ha!) Yummmm!!!!!!! What's that? You don't know what any of those things are? No problem; here's a brief description of each. Oh and e/is preceded by the following: "This is so delicious, I've loved it since I was a kid but haven't been able to find it in the U.S. (except on Amazon where it's surprisingly expensive).
Coffe Delight: Hard candy that tastes like coffee.
Moritas: Blackberry and mulberry-tasting gummies covered in little berry beads. We found a similar thing here in SLC but they obviously don't compare to the real thing.
Regional sweets from a town near where I grew up: These vary depending on the city but most are made with "arequipe" (i.e., "dulce de leche"-- NOT THE SAME as caramel [check the third post]!). The ones we got also have either coconut, coffee, or orange.
Arequipe & Obleas: Obleas are like sweet Mass hosts (i.e., slices of unleavened bread). In Colombia, we eat what could be called an oblea sandwich with arequipe in the middle. Heavenn. (There's a even a new place that puts berries and other things inside. Mmmm!) Oh and arequipe + ice cream is also DELICIOUS.
Chocolatinas Jet: Forget Hershey's and Mars! One bite of these chocolate bars brought back so many great memories, they helped me forget the overly sweet taste of famous U.S.-made chocolate. These can't be beat.
Cocosette: Actually Venzuelan, this chocolatey-wafer-and-coconut-cream sandwich is also great, as its taste is quite mellow and able to convert any non-coconut fans (like me). In fact, Cocosette and coconut water are probably the only coconut products I like.
Nucita: Young and young-at-heart kids looove this. It's basically (kind of hard to explain) like what you'd get if you put Nutella and white (chocolate?) cream together. But they don't come mixed; each serving has the hazelnut spread on one side and the white stuff on the other. Then you can choose to either mix them or eat them separately. So good!
So there you have it. A delicious overview of some classic Colombian delicacies and staples that I can't wait to sample over the next coming months. :D
Better keep up with my workout (Which, by the way, I've been very diligent with since late last year! What a great New Year's resolution to have...), though, if I want to get more in shape and gorg for when we go back to Colommmbiaaaa!
Have a Great WeekEND!
:D
Lovely Music for a Lovely Weekend
It's Friday ("Friday, Friday"-- kidding!) everyone!!! And here in beautiful Salt Lake City it's near 90º. Ninety! Oh heaven... But you know what else feels like heaven? When once in a while you come across something so beautiful and so delightful that makes you think "I guess the world is all right after all!" Exhibit A: My adorable cousin Maria Fernanda and both her "Someone Like You" cover and original hit, "Quiero Volver a Amarte."
This one's in Spanish, in case you hadn't noticed ;)
This girl's going places! (However I want her to stay in school and finish her studies first --preferably college-- and then she can make this full time... But that's just me.) Exhibit B: The Stella Sisters: Lennon (I'm not too keen on boy names for girls but this one not only's adorable, it totally makes sense--you'll see why), age 12 and Maisy, age 8. They're very good but then they have this innocent quality about them--like they know they're talented yet aren't cocky (which can't be said about too many pre-teens these days). Turns out they've been doing their thing for ~THREE years. Go, ahead, check! Anyways, enjoy!
Difficult not to have it on repeat
Ohhh the goosebumps! All these young people are taking over the world!! :O What do you think? Have you found any unexpected hits lately?
What Are the Chances?!
Meet Anny. She's a great friend I grew up with in Colombia and who I hadn't seen (face-to-face, that is) in almost a decade.
Until today. Well, kinda...
As my mom, who's in Colombia visiting family and friends (who she also hadn't seen in that same almost-decade), was getting ready to go to another city where we have family (after having spent a few days with other relatives and friends in our native town), she suddenly, out of nowhere, ran into my dear Anny. (Does she hold a special place in my heart b/c our names are similar? You guessed it.)
Turns out Anny wasn't just hanging out at that airport. She's actually on her way to Spain, where she'll work to further her medical studies for a few months. So proud!!
I bet my mom almost freaked when they recognized each other, so she decided to take a picture (the one above) and send it to me. When I got it, I was the one who (almost) freaked, so naturally I called her immediately and got to talk to Anny for a few minutes.
(Btw do you know what tears are for? They're for when we feel something so intense that our bodies can't literally contain themselves...)
I was so beyond ecstatic when I heard a voice I used to hear every day but that I hadn't heard in ~10 years that I almost cried while on the phone. (Lol, I didn't make it too obvious b/c I used to cry quite often when I was little [silly me!] so I didn't want her to be like "she hasn't changed; she still cries!" Haha...)
Anny sounded WAY excited to hear me too, like she couldn't believe it. And now we can't wait to finally see each other and plan a worthy get-together when I'm back in my birthplace next year :D This made my day!!
What reunions have you had lately?
And Turtle Makes... Nope, Still 7
Meet Little Turtle.
A few weeks ago I wrote about Simba, our family's new addition. I'm happy to report he's getting so plump and is always so happy! He loves to eat, play, and chill with all of us. We couldn't imagine our lives without our kitty and we just love him to pieces.
But this week was Little Turtle's turn to shine in the Paul Family spotlight...
As my dad was walking our doggies this morning, he suddenly came across Little Turtle (or LT, for short) who was hanging out on a sidewalk near our home.
Now if I said that we weren't cat people even though we ended up rescuing Simba, then I don't know what to say for how we stand on turtles. Sure, they're cute... But that may be about it.
But back to Little Turtle and our "Finding him a perfect home" saga.
Attempt #1: Our own home. As soon as my dad brought LT home, I got on the Internet and researched stuff about turtles as pets. Turns out turtles are harder to care for than, say, dogs or even cats (or even fish)--like a lot! We then decided we wouldn't be able to properly take care for him, which was bittersweet, but nevertheless for the best. (I'm not one that easily passes up the chance to care for an animal BUT with two dogs, a cat, and a fish [who has its own tank w/temp. controls and everything], we're a bit tied up.)
Attempt #2: Pet**. So my dad took him to Pet** ready to have those guys find LT a better home than we could provide him. Because we had never handled a turtle before, he ended up transporting LT in our fishy's little carrier. When he came back, though, he told me LT was actually aquatic and that he hadn't brought back the carrier because "they [the Pet** people] didn't have where to put him." That's weird, I thought... Five minutes and a little short cry about how unfair it was that they treated animals so poorly by not finding him even a good temporary place, I decided we ought to "rescue" him. Again. (Though this time, it wasn't from the dangers of being alone on a sidewalk, but rather from a bunch of professional wanna-bes who really had no clue about pets.)
So we went back to find LT still in that same carrier with 3/4 in. of water. Keep in mind at this stage the Pet** guys had told us LT was "aquatic" which explains the pool of water they had forced him to remain in...
Attempt #3: Our home again. Clearly someone out there must be in need of and be better able to care for a pet turtle, right? So I posted an announcement on FB and an ad on KSL while I looked for alternatives to Pet** where we'd know LT'd be safe and able to find another loving family. Then I called Petsm*** and a very nice guy said the store wasn't authorized to sell turtles one donated (I think that was his reason?) so he referred me to another local pet store. I called them and the gal who answered was soo nice over the phone! I felt an immediate sense of relief and giddiness take over me. Finally, LT looks like he'll have a great life after all, I thought :)
Attempt #4: P&S. What an awesome store! Contact me directly if you'd like the full name/location (I don't want to make it seem like I'm advertising, after all...) Everyone there was soo nice and welcoming! When we arrived, the gal I had talked to on the phone said to us, "Turtle?" and then she and her coworker instantly came by, picked LT up and couldn't stop gushing about cute and perfect he was. They then explained that although he was aquatic, he preferred land... Go figure!
Long story short:
Turns out that although LT's aquatic, he actually prefers land, the P&S ladies informed us. Here is LT exploring (ahem already loving) his new home...
This is LT's new (and also cute though tinier) friend, Spots :) (Yes, I just made up that name.)
"I'm quite the explorer yo!"
"Oooh what is THIS?"
"Heya biatches!!"
In the end, LT was sooo happy, he could NOT stop exploring! Aww! Oh and take a look at his new home: Remember how Pet** had carelessly put him in water (even though he's not that "aquatic)? Ugh... Well the ladies told us that b/c he was still small (his shell's about 2-3" in diam.) they couldn't sell him yet; instead they were going to keep him in this cute little perfectly lit, temp-controlled, and UVB-UVA-regulated cubby habitat until he was big enough to hang out with his other little turtle buddies in a bigger place. Turtles make great pets, by the way. (If you're looking to get one, think about LT --when he grows of course). Cared for properly, they're practically low-maintenance. So there's lazy, heartless employees who give popular pet stores a bad name and then there's hard-working, enthusiastic and knowledgeable pet store employees who immediately leave a lasting impression. Pet** has always been and will continue to forever be a no-go place for us (we go to The D's M on 33rd So anyways, which we love--it's more for dogs and cats), while this new P&S has definitely become a new go-to for whatever else we need (or at least to check on LT!)... Animal rescuers for life! (As a little aside, my mom, who's been visiting family in Colombia for the past few days, recently told us about a couple stray dogs she's seen and how they brought her to tears... She says we'll even need a truck to rescue them all when we visit! : ) Yup, that's how much we love animals.)
Your Pocket Change Is None of My Business
Quick: How much change do you usually carry in your pockets/wallet/purse? A few cents? A couple bucks? $20? $100? $2M? Whatever your answer may be, newsflash: It's none of my business; I frankly don't care. And neither should Rachel Maddow. Although my family likes to watch mostly CNN and FOX, when I feel like I need to argue with somebody or just learn more about the dark side, I make us tune to none other than MSNBC. I'm telling you there's nothing better than hearing your opponent's views to really get your gears turning. So as I watched Rachel Maddow being her usual "I know it all and Conservatives should just drop off the face of the planet" self, I noticed how during one of her stories she implied that we should all care about how much presidential hopeful Romney makes and how much he spends-- specifically, how $2M isn't really a big deal to him. (And then her "I'm a genius" tone honestly revealed that the last thing we should do is elect someone whose $2M in pocket change distances significantly him from us.) Now let's backtrack for a bit... We're talking about a guy who's richer than perhaps all of my friends, their families, and their ancestors combined. He's someone who, along with his family, was able to fairly create a highly successful venture. He's the kind of man we (or at least I) aspire to be (well, the female non-Mormon version, at least). And you're telling me that one of the reasons why he's not worth our time is because he can afford a little more luxuries (perhaps more luxuries than Mrs. Obama) in life? As Amy Poehler and my crush Seth Meyers would ask, "Really?!" Ohhh wait: He bankrupted XYZ company and did all of these horrible things. Hm OK... You mean he had to make tough decisions because, after all, uncontrollable sh** happens and he needed to overcome it? Yeah that makes him a horrible role model, doesn't it? I mean what's worse to have as a president than someone whose family started from nothing and then built their way to financial mega success? (I'd argue an inexperienced community organizer who had dreams of playing house at the White House may be worse but that's another story.) A note to Maddow, conservative-hating Hollywooders and all other wealthy people who assume their wealth or TV shows give them the right (exclude the whole Freedom of Speech thing) to tell others (esp. Conservative wealthy individuals) how to live: What gives you all the right to tell/teach other wealthy people how to live? Along those lines, yesterday morning I had one of my weekly meeting with my Democrat (yet otherwise perfect) mentor, with whom I'm working to turn my undergraduate Honors thesis into a journal article about Corporate Social Responsibility. We always discuss what to do to take our paper to the next level, and without revealing too much, I'll just say that our backgrounds (mine in business and hers in the social sciences) play an astonishing part into what we're doing, since we make sure to address the counter arguments each of us brings up during our discussions. In any case, we got to talking about the Occupiers (I can see their cause but hate what they do to some of our once beautiful downtown landmarks and for NO reason). One thing led to another and then the following dialogue occurred:
Mentor: [Began talking about how the average CEO earns $9M/yr while the average worker earns just $39K.] Why do those CEOs even need that much money? What do they use it for? What can they do with that much?
Me: [While I didn't exactly initiate my reply with a "With all due respect" disclaimer, I'm sure my tone nonetheless implied it.] That's really none of our business. [I even wanted to add: "Who are we to dictate what they can and can't do with what they earn?]
Now, OK, sure, there are some shady CEOs out there-- but they represent only a fraction of all CEOs, so why give the entire pool of CEOs a bad name by alleging that they shouldn't be making what they earn? Who are we, China? That's like saying that all Colombians are in the drug or prostitution businesses. Guess what; we're not. But a few jerks made it their life's mission to give us that rap. You'll never hear me complain about how much X makes or why it's so unfair that Y makes so much and I still don't have a job. Never! (I promise.) What X and Y do is their responsibility just as much as what I do is mine. But what I will never understand (and what I instead am open to complaining about) is why those who are wealthy and love to bash wealthy Conservatives even think that's OK.
Here we are trying to eradicate bullying among children and teens but not even our society's seemingly mature adults and leaders can overcome it!
Rachel Maddow's "pocket change" may not be near Romney's but I bet it's still much greater than most of ours so WTH is she so critical? In fact, according to several sites (like this one, this one, this one this one, and this one--no, there isn't an official IMDB-like source for public figures' incomes...), her yearly income ranges from ~$2M to almost $13M--still MUCH greater than the average worker's of $39K. Clearly, Ms. Maddow's pocket change must be many (many, many) times what most others Americans' are (not to mention her stock portfolio!), so WHY is she all of a sudden playing holier than thou by preaching that Romney's so distanced from us all because he can afford a lot more than the average American? Newsflash Ms. Maddow: You can afford so much too! (And you too Mr. Clooney, and Ms. Occupier --ahem Ms. Hathaway--, etc.) Oh wait, maybe you're jealous because what represents mere pocket change to Romney is actually what you'd make in a few months? Wow, and here I thought you looked so mature and grown-up on TV. Readers, I'm not telling you who to vote for; I never have and never will. That's a privilege we have the right to be quiet about. So I'm just asking you, America, to get a grip and to stop being bullies. Don't bash on someone because they're wealthier than you--after all, what kind of person does that make you?! A depressed, good-for-nothing low-life who isn't willing to improve the situation you're in? Hell, think about how other countries see us already and then add this civil-war-like thing we have going on. Way to make us all seem like losers... :| Phew, I sure had a lot to get off my chest, huh? Oh dear... Anyways, have a great rest of your unofficial-beginning-of-Summer week!

UPDATE, June 6, 2012-
See what I mean? Glad I'm not the only one who's aware of the issue...
Best. Proposal. EVER.
As someone who hasn't been proposed to yet (fortunately for me, but that's another story), this proposal is perhaps THE top proposal in the history of proposals I've seen (which, granted, is rather limited, but you get my point).. (OK maybe your proposal is by far the best [biased!] but still, this one is nevertheless way high up there!) In case you've been away or hiding under a rock for these past couple days, (or just want to watch it again and again) here's the nearing-7M-views-video you may have missed:
As Chrissa Hardy over at HelloGiggles so perfectly put it:
... [T]here’s a reason Hipsters are taking over the world .... Their creativity, unique tastes and well-educated swagger is impossible to resist. Especially when you see all three of these traits showcased in a super romantical marriage proposal with such great production value, you feel like you’re watching a commercial for Google. Remember when The Office parodied the wedding video during the ceremony for Jim and Pam? Well, this would be a dream twist for Kelly and Ryan, just sayin’. This lip-dub proposal has everything from a guy “making it rain” with a wad of post-its to a choreographed street dance with members of a marching band. The bride-to-be in this video is so adorable and you can see how touched she is during the entire ride. And what an incredible way to include their friends and family in one of the best moments of their lives! In yo’ face, Jumbotron.
And here's the couple on this morning's Today Show... So low-key and adorable :)
Are you paying attention, dear future husband? ; )
London Olympics
Doesn't the trailer alone give you goosebumps?
God I can't wait! :D
