Hola mi gente, welcome to the “The Aguacate Chronicles”, I’m your host Giraldo Luis Alvaré. Gracias for listening.

Last episode, baked mac and cheese, sopa, black beans and rice, lemon, spices, pernil, mojo cooked up rice, mangu y arroz con leche. It’s been a flavorful experience and we got two more episodes to go.

Up next on the menu we got arroz con habichuelas, red beans and rice, cafe con leche, frijollas de la olla slow-cooked in a clay pot, french bread, mariquitas some plantain chips and pan cubano, cuban bread. Fair warning, your stomach will start playing the congas from the food cravings.

These mouthwatering moments get highlighted on audio clips featuring "The Queen of the 1's & 2's", DJ Perly; Director of Product Development for MLB the Show, Jason Villa; Player/Alumni Relations Liason, Spanish Media Liasion and Interpreter for the Miami Marlins, Luis Dorante, Jr.; and founders and owners of Dos Croquetas, Alec y Vicky

So cojelo con take it easy. There’s enough to go around. Buen provecho. Enjoy the show.
