Stay out of a Ferrari or any other small Italian car. <br />4. Eat fruit - a nectarine - even a rotten plum is good.<br /><br />Puerto Rican Food cannot lead to living <br />to be as old as Mel Brooks or Carl Reiner.<br />It mostly is Fried.<br />It's most Meat and a "cheap" starch.<br />And- it smell better- than it is- "healthy" for you.......except for a "Batido" (Liquado)<br />Years ago- before Bucktown became UBER hip- a place on N. Damen (near Wabansia)<br />called "Lydias" served up some killer Pastillitos and Alcapurias in a tiny Cafe in the rear of a small<br />bodega.<br />Since it was the early '90's- eating right- didn't seem to matter as much as it does today.Randall Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12809944232191218626noreply@blogger.com
