I am the textbook definition of a "crazy cat lady". I love to cook Puerto Rican food and like to develop recipes with coconut milk, fish and seafood, plantain, "yuca" and other types of "vianda". My gatherings at home are called PRE! by my friends and acquaintance, that stands fro Puerto Rican Extravaganza! I also love tropical plants, specially anthuriums and heliconias. I like hiking. I am also a self-taught opera aficionado -mostly Puccini, Verdi, and French masters- and a classic music fan with a preference for Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, Handel and Bach. Although I am a strong believer that Salsa is the best music ever.
